Beijing No.11 School - Institutional Review

Judging from the results of the high school entrance examination alone, the eleventh school is somewhat unworthy of its name, and it hovers outside the tenth or even fifteenth place in the score list all year round. In 2015, the average score of the cultural course of the 11th school was 478.8 points, only 34.6 points higher than the average score of Haidian District. In the 2017 high school entrance examination, there were 55 students with a score of 560 or more in the eleventh school, and 11% of the reference number of grades entered the top 200 in Haidian District, which is quite a famous school style, but only 14% of the reference students ranked in the top 1000 in Haidian District, and the results of the students in the eleventh school were relatively discrete.

The teaching system of the 11th school is very distinctive, and it is the first middle school to implement the 2 4 school system and the class system. "2 4" refers to the 2 academic years of junior high school and the 4 academic years of high school, during which they do not take the high school entrance examination, so the 2 4 academic system students are not counted in the average score of the 11th school. Another reason for the weak results of the 11th school is the selection examination in the second stage of junior high school, and the top 30 students under the general school system will take the last train of the "2 4" class to go straight to the high school headquarters.

The "walk-in system" was introduced in 2013, and students choose the course and the corresponding difficulty level according to their own situation and the teacher's advice. The administrative class was broken, the traditional concept of "class teacher" no longer existed, and the tutors were responsible for following up on the students, usually no more than 20 students per guide. In order to enhance teacher-student interaction, the number of students in each class will not be more than 24.

Eleven School is also a pioneer in hierarchical teaching. Taking mathematics as an example, after the education reform, the eleventh school adopted its own textbooks, and its mathematics curriculum was divided into five levels of difficulty. 2 4 system students can be exposed to the difficulty of number III and above in junior high school, involving high school knowledge, and mainly competition. Ordinary 3 3 students will choose number I and number II., and some people with different talents will also be exposed to number IV. The principal of the 11th School has been critical of the "Olympiad" and "early learning of mathematics", which is somewhat contradictory to its hierarchical teaching philosophy, but in the 2017 competition of 5 university subjects, the 11th School won a total of 10 medals, ranking among the top three in Beijing, and it is clear that the 11th School actually attaches great importance to the competition. In terms of student selection strategies, the emphasis on competitions and mathematics in the eleventh school is more obvious, and students with excellent math skills are more likely to be recruited, and mathematics scores also have more weight in the placement test, compared to English scores, and the placement test in 2015 did not even include an English subject.

The campus life of the 11th school is intense and fulfilling. The amount of homework for students is relatively large, and the students who can complete their homework before 22:00 are relatively rare, and the shift system makes it difficult for students to find out their true strength, and the psychological pressure is not small. In order to enhance the vitality of the campus, the school has not interfered too much with students' extracurricular life, and the low-threshold approval process has led to a large number of clubs, the number of which is said to be far more than 200. The thriving club culture of the eleventh school is not unrelated to the enrollment system, the number of special students accounts for about 1/4 of the total number of grades, creative products, robots, electronics, automobiles, symphony, folk singing group, broadcasting, baseball, equestrian, fencing, aerobics and other niche projects are covered, students have unique skills, and they inevitably give full play to their spare time to organize clubs. However, as the school age increases, the academic work becomes more and more arduous, and most clubs become dead in name, making it difficult to organize activities.

Day classes and small class sizes require a higher teacher-student ratio, and the 11th school expanded its teaching staff during the reform period. In 2010, the school had less than 150 teaching staff, and in 2015 it had more than 200 teachers at the senior level and above. During the expansion period, the school only recruits experienced subject leaders, and most of the young teachers are from 985 universities and have master's degrees or above, which shows that the school is very strict in the selection of teachers.

In addition to the faculty, the 11th school also has first-class hardware facilities. There are more than 40 classrooms in the junior high school teaching building, with a total area of more than 7,700 square meters, and each classroom is equipped with electronic equipment such as photocopiers. The university has also established high-end laboratories for electronics, particles, nanometers, water resources analysis, microbiology, and molecular biology. In terms of catering and entertainment, 5 of the 6 canteens are open to the whole school, and some first-line fast food chains have also settled in; Both playgrounds are paved with plastic tracks, which are crowded every year during the sports season. It is worth mentioning that since there is no administrative class in the 11th school, the sports day is participated in in the name of an individual, which is different from other schools.

No.11 School is the first complete middle school in Beijing to implement the coherent teaching system, and it has implemented the concept of day class and hierarchical teaching most thoroughly. The innovation of the 11th school has withstood the test of the college entrance examination, but its junior high school entrance examination results are not outstanding. It is recommended that children with excellent learning ability pay attention to the 2 4 characteristic class, and in recent years, the eleventh school can shine in the college entrance examination has a lot to do with this characteristic class. 2 4 The selection of small and junior high schools in special classes is point recruitment and entrance placement test, and there are many connections between point recruitment and large training institutions, which need extra attention. Every year, about 40% of students are recruited into the school, and 25% of them are special students, and the accumulation of competition results and the cultivation of specialties are also important guarantees for being selected into the 2 4 class, and these two advantages actually complement each other. 11. The school has a high degree of discrete performance, which is suitable for children with strong self-discipline ability.
