Director Zhang Li stressed that the routine work of the teaching and research group should grasp the three links: before class, during class and after class. The teachers should carefully proceed preparation of both teaching materials and students. The assignment should be reasonable, stratified, and well designed, which required timely feedback. Teachers were supposed to have students in heart, pay close attention to each student, and know very well the top students and underachievers in their respective classes. Later on, Director Zhang Li proposed several viewpoints concerning the teaching work in graduating classes as follows: classroom efficiency in review lessons is the key, and teachers should implement the processing of knowledge points in writing lesson plans. Other than that, each teaching and research group of all disciplines in the Senior High School Entrance Examination were requested to gather all strength of the group to think together, steadily and orderly promote the review content. Meanwhile, we should attach great importance to the weekly test and take the test to find out the weak points of the students so that we can eliminate students’ blind spots according to the crux with timely remedy.

Then he pointed out the following teaching and research work of several matters needing attention: firstly, conventional teaching should be consolidated. Science teachers are requested to do more exercise while liberal arts teachers should read more books to enrich themselves; Secondly, teachers are supposed to find the problems in the homework correction, and find the correct direction in the common and individual problems; Thirdly, teachers of the graduating classes should take questions to participate in the collective lesson preparation and gather the power of the whole group to discuss together. More remarkably, the teaching and research group leaders should analyze the performance status in each grade of their group, and reinforce the research and guidance to realize mutual improvement of all teachers in the teaching and research group.
