The Education Department of Guangdong Province has recently announced the selection of Jinan University's initiative, Establishing and Improving the Teacher Honor System and Playing the Role of a Positive Incentive, as a typical case in the fourth batch of education evaluation reform.

 Overview of the Teacher Honor System

In recent years, Jinan University has implemented the Implementation Measures for the Honor System of Jinan University Faculty and Staff. This initiative is based on the standards of Four Haves good teachers and focuses on four key principles:

1. Combination of Morality and Ability: Recognizing the importance of both ethical standards and professional competence in teaching.

2. Grassroots Orientation: Emphasizing the needs and conditions of teachers at the grassroots level to ensure relevance and impact.

3. Application of Results: Ensuring that the outcomes of the honor system lead to tangible improvements in teaching and learning.

4. Keeping Up with the Times: Adapting the honor system to contemporary educational challenges and innovations.

 Fostering a Collaborative Teaching Environment

The teacher honor system aims to inspire educators to learn from one another, dedicate themselves to teaching, and uphold the ethics of the profession. This initiative has cultivated a positive environment where teachers are motivated to embody the spirit of education.

 Sharing Best Practices

Recognized teachers have shared their experiences and insights in various areas, including:

- Classroom teaching

- Talent cultivation

- Scientific research projects

These exchanges have taken place through several initiatives, such as:

- Teacher Ethics Construction Theme Education Month

- Taste Teaching events

These activities not only highlight exemplary teaching practices but also inspire and motivate other educators, creating a ripple effect of positive influence throughout the institution.

The recognition of Jinan University’s case as a model for education evaluation reform underscores the institution's commitment to enhancing educational quality through a robust teacher honor system. This achievement reflects the university's dedication to fostering an environment that values teaching excellence and promotes the ethical development of its faculty.
