The Construction Of Teaching Collective

Today's society is the era of knowledge economy. In this era, knowledge is not occupied by just one person or merely a personal and professional capacity any more. Sharing, creating and activating knowledge in organizations are more needed in this era, and personal knowledge learning should be extended to collaborative learning and knowledge construction too. In the field of education, teachers'work is more complex than ever before. To adapt to the education reform especially the new curriculum reform, they are required to be more cooperative and more positive. Teaching collective is an efficient organization which can promote teachers'cooperation in a long way, and it means much not only to the teachers'professional growth but also to the schools and students'developments. It takes members'dialogue cooperation and knowledge sharing as its operation mechanism, and it means much not only to teacher's professional development but also to the development of schools and students.The former teaching collectives such as teaching research groups and grade groups were administrative and too much focused on teaching standard, in a certain period, they played important roles and did much in the process of promoting the teaching quality, but they didn't promote the cooperation between teachers in a ideal way and they can't adapt to the social development and education reform any more. Teaching collectives ought to be teachers'professional organizations rather than school administration organizations, and they must have a professional orientation. However, existing collectives are more and more formalizing and administrative. The principle of collectivism turns out a tendency of absolution, the most outstanding performance of this principle is that the individual is lost in the collectives because of the powerful collectivism. The cooperation in teaching collectives was"official", and the real cooperation was substituted by dissolve cooperation too.Thus, we have to face these problems in teaching collective's construction, and also have to seek the effective teaching strategies actively in order to transfer the existing teaching collectives which have problems into new cooperation and development organizations. Aims, vision, objectives and values are four pillars that are exiting in any organization, the teaching collective's formation and consolidate need these four pillars too. So the establishing of common aims, vision, objectives and values is necessary. Teaching collective is a democratic and open space, we must establish sharing and equally distributed leadership in the collective to develop sustainable leadership. Training leaders in collectives'various levels will transfer the responsibility from one or two individuals to the whole collective. Beside these, humane management system should be established in the teaching collectives too. Teaching collectives can't only be compulsory, it is more important that they can play an incentive role to make teachers work hard to get higher goals. Assessment is a judgment of value, the most important goal is not for proving but for improving, so, we must construct developmental evaluation system in teaching collectives, this can make the teaching collectives get rid of traditional evaluation, and have healthy"developmental evaluation"in them.The construction of teaching collective can't be done in a short time. It will be a long, gradual and complex process. In order to play an active role continuously, teaching collectives must adapt with the new reforms. The teaching collective is an open system which changes with its internal and external environments rather than a static sealing one. School leaders and members of the collective must persist working hard to make the teaching collective update with time and situations.
