课后反思
坐在办公桌前，认真看着自己的录像视频，感触很深。
整天忙忙碌碌，一件事接着一件事，难
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )得片刻的清闲。而此时。捧一杯浓茶，静静地看着自己的“表演”，从另一个角度观赏自己，分析自己，反思自己，唤醒自己。
我的英语课堂，我自认为上得很潇洒，优
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )雅、自如。可是，细细研究，小错误也不少。
自己需要改进的地方很多。对于课型把握，课堂语言生动灵性、环节衔接、知识输入输出等，处理的还行，但是，我自认为英语课堂应该是享受英语语言之美的乐园。但是，我做到了没有？我的学生是否都喜欢我的英语课？我是否用一把成绩的尺子，划出学生们不同的人生？学生的自信是否因为回答不出英语问题而丧失？
英语课就像是那枚美丽的贝壳。贝壳的美丽
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是为了给壳内的生命提供最佳的生存环境。贝壳之美与功能相伴而成。英语课堂之美应该是枚优雅迷人的“贝壳”——给学生带来发现的愉悦、创造的快乐和成功的体验。
我扪心自问：我是否是合格的教
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )师？我是先教书，还是先育人？我是个非常负责的英语教师，可是，我是一个尽职的灵魂工程师吗？我的学生是否在我的课堂上体验到生命的尊严？享受到求知的乐趣？。。。。。。
世界上最难做的，恐怕就是教师这个职业吧。
“师者，所以传道授业解惑也。”其实不然也。
教育首先是陶冶人的心灵的职业。是心灵与心灵的对话，是一个灵魂对另一个灵魂的引领。只要教师成为学生的心灵导师，真正的教育才会来临。
为此我很是诚恐诚谎。在我的
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )日常的课堂教学中，我如果稍有不慎，课堂上一个细小的动作，一个眼神，或一句不经意的话语，就会使学生偏离价值轨道，甚至给他们的一生带来不幸。
“只有教师给学生带来思考，在思考中表现自己
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，用思考来指挥学生，用思考来使学生折服和钦佩的时候，他才能成为年轻心灵的征服者、教育者和指导者。。。。。。。我们的思考能点燃学生的学习愿望。”
当我面对学生，面对真实的自己，我知道，我需要
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )及时是反思，及时改进。我必须在忙碌的工作中尝试着停下来，去努力唤醒深层次的自我，最终成为探索自己内心世界的主人。
记得有位专家说过，教师只有清醒地与自我意识进
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )行深刻的对话，倾听自己内心真正的声音，才会从容地走进学生的心灵深处，引领者他们实现自我价值的飞跃。
我觉得教师这份职业既有
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )重要性又危险性。因为我们往往会因为在教学过程中不经意间毁掉一个学生进取的信念。我要始终怀揣一颗敏感而真诚的心行走在教育路上，体味着教育的幸福，感受孩子的纯真，不迷茫，更不沉睡。
我应该重新认识自己，改变自我，蕴
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )藉更多的教育智慧和勇气，要用我的眼神、我的语调、我的话语、我的课堂唤醒学生，关爱学生、尊重学生、激励学生，积极影响学生，实现心灵的澄澈、教育的回归。
努力做学生心灵的引路人吧。
就像上届学生田淼写给我的话那样：“知己：
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )其他星星都换了方位，北极星仍在原地，当别人误解我，打击我，只要你守在原地，我就不会迷路。只要你说我行，就算全天下的人都说我不行，我也不在乎。”
这就是看完上课录像之后的反思。
我明白，我们教师自身的任何发现，都将促成我们的改变，最终让我们成为独特的自己，让我们的教育，成为更有激情和创造、更有人性的教育。Enjoy
