Abstract:

Cultivating a high-quality and professional teaching team and cultivating tens of thousands of educator-oriented teachers is an inevitable requirement for achieving modernization of Chinese-style education and an important guarantee for building an education powerhouse. Educator-type teachers are a concept with Chinese characteristics. This study interprets the unique concept of educators in the context of an educational powerhouse from four perspectives:policy discourse,etymology evolution,literature analysis,and teacher professionalization. In the context of an education powerhouse,the characteristics of the generation of educator-type teachers reflect the unity of political orientation and the development of the times,the unity of internal generation and external cultivation,the unity of local occasional and overall emergence,and the unity of theoretical construction and practical exploration. The cultivation of educators with Chinese characteristics faces three levels of practical barriers:firstly,the evaluation leans towards instrumental rationality,and the evaluation mechanism for teachers to become educators is not sound enough;Secondly,there is insufficient mutual support between theory and practice,and the external environment for teachers to become educators urgently needs to be optimized;The third issue is the insufficient guidance of ideal beliefs,and the collective consciousness of teachers to become educators needs to be improved. To cultivate tens of thousands of educator-type teachers,it is necessary to systematically leverage the power of the country,society,schools,and other aspects to construct an internal and external linkage and continuously optimize the growth ecology of educator-type teachers,which include strengthening top-level design and build diversified and forward-looking education policies and hierarchical and integrated teacher professional development standards,gathering social forces and create a social support environment of understanding,tolerance,and collaboration, and strengthening spiritual empowerment and cultivate a spiritual community,a professional community and an ecological community where educator-type teachers can grow together.

Key words: powerful country in education, educator-type teacher, generative characteristics, systematic creation
