I. Adhere to the Original Aspiration and Founding Mission, Persistently Use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to Forge Souls and Educate People
一、坚守初心使命,坚持不懈用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想铸魂育人
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “Running ideological and political courses well
习近平总书记指出,“办好思政课,是我非常关心的一件事”,“我对教育工作在这方面强调得最多,教育工作别的方面我也强调,但思政课建设我必须更多强调”,“办好思政课,最根本的是要全面贯彻党的教育方针,解决好培养什么人、怎样培养人、为谁培养人这个根本问题”。学校思政课最鲜明地体现了社会主义办学方向,最持久地塑造着强国一代的信念信仰,是关乎我们党长期执政、国家长治久安和中华民族千秋伟业的关键课程。
Persist in advancing the construction of ideological and political courses in tandem with the theoretical innovation of the Party. Ideological and political courses are the main channel for school students to receive ideological and political education, and constitute a systematic project encompassing textbooks, teaching, pedagogical methods, and teacher team building. The cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics pioneered by the Party is an unprecedented undertaking. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the latest achievement in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. Arming students with the Party’s innovative theory is an inevitable requirement for cultivating a new generation capable of shouldering the task of national rejuvenation. Beijing has continuously promoted the integration of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into classrooms, textbooks, and students’ minds. Since the autumn semester of 2020, it has taken the lead nationwide in fully offering the compulsory course “Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,” covering all new undergraduate and junior college students. Taking the high-quality delivery of the compulsory course “Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” as a breakthrough, a teaching research association was established. Focusing closely on key and difficult issues in the textbook, online demonstration courses for “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” were recorded for Beijing’s higher education institutions. City leaders took the lead in conducting unannounced visits to universities to attend classes and conduct research [1]1 “Golden courses” (金课) is a term used in Chinese education policy to refer to high-quality, exemplary courses that are rigorous, innovative, and effective, as opposed to “watery courses” (水课) that are considered low-quality or superficial., while university Party secretaries and presidents stepped into classrooms and onto the podium, forming a “leading goose effect” [2]2 “Fostering virtue through education” (立德树人) is a fundamental task of education in China, emphasizing moral cultivation as the root of talent development. where leading cadres take the initiative to oversee ideological and political courses. Beijing’s 26 municipal-level key Marxist colleges, leveraging their own strengths, have further strengthened the theoretical, systematic, disciplinary, and sub-field, sub-topic research and interpretation of the Party’s innovative theory, providing strong support for teaching this core course in a deep, thorough, and vivid manner.
坚持思政课建设与党的创新理论武装同步推进。思政课是学校学生接受思想政治教育的主渠道,是涵盖教材、教学、教法和教师队伍建设等的系统工程。党开创的中国特色社会主义事业是前无古人的事业。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想是马克思主义中国化时代化的最新成果。以党的创新理论武装学生,是培养造就担当民族复兴重任的时代新人的必然要求。北京市持续推进习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想进课堂进教材进头脑,自2020年秋季学期起,在全国率先全面开设《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论》必修课,覆盖全体本专科新生。以高水平办好《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论》必修课为突破口,成立教学研究会,紧紧围绕教材中的重点难点问题,录制北京高校“习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论”网络示范课。市领导带头“四不两直”走进高校听课调研,高校党委书记、校长纷纷进课堂上讲台,形成领导干部带头抓思政课的“头雁效应”。北京26所市级重点马克思主义学院立足自身优势,进一步加强党的创新理论学理化、体系化、学科化和分领域、分专题的研究阐释,为讲深、讲透、讲活这门核心课程提供有力支撑。
Persist in the integrated construction of ideological and political courses across universities, middle schools, and primary schools. The integrated construction of ideological and political courses across universities, middle schools, and primary schools is an inevitable requirement of the laws governing talent cultivation and an inherent requirement for promoting the high-quality development of ideological and political education. Adhering to the pioneering spirit, Beijing issued the nation’s first guiding opinion on the integrated construction of ideological and political education across universities, middle schools, and primary schools, convened a city-wide work promotion meeting, and established five reform and innovation pilot zones in Xicheng, Chaoyang, Haidian, Tongzhou, and Huairou, focusing on promoting the integrated construction of textbooks, integrated teacher training, and integrated teaching linkage across universities, middle schools, and primary schools. It guides the city’s primary and secondary schools to effectively use and teach the “Student Reader on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,” recording over 100 demonstration teaching courses to form an effective connection with the university course “Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.” It strengthens the collaborative cooperation among teacher teams for ideological and political courses across universities, middle schools, and primary schools. Through methods such as mutual observation of classroom performance and exchange of posts, it breaks down barriers between schools and educational stages, enhances the exchange of teaching experience in ideological and political courses, ensures a “hand-in-hand” transition in ideological and political education work across different educational stages, and promotes the gradual, spiraling integration of the latest achievements in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times into ideological and political classrooms across universities, middle schools, and primary schools. It built the nation’s first “digital map” for practical teaching, launching over 800 digital lesson plans and teaching videos covering all educational stages from primary school to university, providing strong support for the gradual and effective teaching of the Party’s innovative theory across educational stages. It established a teaching and research group for the integrated construction of ideological and political courses across universities, middle schools, and primary schools, creating 23 integrated communities, 79 integrated research bases, and 122 integrated practice schools. For five consecutive years, it has held the Beijing “Telling My (Our) Educational Stories” display and exchange activity for teachers from universities, middle schools, primary schools, and kindergartens, building a platform for teachers to learn together, encourage each other, and grow together.
坚持大中小学思政课一体化建设。大中小学思政课一体化建设是人才成长规律的必然要求,是推动思想政治教育高质量发展的内在要求。北京市坚持首创精神,出台全国首个大中小学思想政治教育一体化建设指导意见,召开全市工作推进会,建设西城、朝阳、海淀、通州、怀柔5个改革创新试验区,着力推动大中小学教材一体化建设、教师一体化培训、教学一体化联动。指导全市中小学用好讲好《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想学生读本》,录制100余节示范教学课程,与大学《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论》教学形成有效衔接。强化大中小学思政课教师队伍协同合作,通过互相观摩课堂表现、交流换岗等方式,打破校际、学段间的隔阂,增进思政课教学经验的交流,做好不同学段思政教育工作“手递手”,推动马克思主义中国化时代化最新成果循序渐进、螺旋上升地融入大中小学思政课堂。建设全国首个实践教学“数字地图”,推出800余个涵盖大中小学全学段的数字教案和教学视频,为大中小学循序渐进讲好党的创新理论提供有力支撑。成立大中小学思政课一体化教研组,建立23个一体化共同体、79个一体化研究基地、122个一体化实践校。连续五年举办北京市大中小幼教师讲述我(我们)的育人故事展示交流活动,为教师搭建共同学习、相互激励、共同成长平台。
Persist in the coordinated effort of curriculum-based ideological and political education and dedicated ideological and political courses. Curriculum-based ideological and political education is an important component of fostering virtue through education, a key link in the school’s ideological and political education system, and a beneficial supplement to the actual effectiveness of ideological and political course education. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is broad and profound, covering all aspects. It is necessary to integrate Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Military, Xi Jinping Economic Thought, Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization,
坚持课程思政与思政课程同向发力。课程思政是立德树人的重要组成部分,是学校思政育人体系中的重要环节,也是思政课教育实效的有益补充。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想博大精深,涉及方方面面。必须将习近平强军思想、习近平经济思想、习近平生态文明思想、习近平外交思想、习近平法治思想、习近平文化思想等内容,融入专业人才培养教育教学全过程。北京市联合中国社会科学院等单位,筹建思政课多学科协同创新中心,邀请自然科学和哲学社会科学相关领域专家参与教学教研,强化资源供给和内容支撑。立足学科特点,在全市范围内建立一批课程思政示范高校,推出一批课程思政示范课,选树一批课程思政教学团队,不断扩展新时代党的创新理论辐射范围,让思政教育与日常学习、生活联系更为密切,实践互动更为充分,案例更为鲜活,从而不断促进各类课程与思政课相互配合、同频共振,逐步构建覆盖全面、类型丰富、层次递进、相互支撑的课程思政体系,形成协同效应。
II. Upholding Integrity and Innovation, Continuously Promoting the Connotative Development of School Ideological and Political Course Construction in the New Era
二、坚持守正创新,持续推动新时代学校思政课建设内涵式发展
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “Reform and innovation are the spirit of the times; young people are the most active group; the construction of ideological and political courses must seek vitality from reform and innovation.” This requires that the construction of ideological and political courses must accelerate connotative development, adapting to events, advancing with the times, and innovating with the situation, dynamically examining problems and shortcomings in the construction of ideological and political courses, continuously enriching educational resources and updating educational means, striving to break through bottlenecks and shortcomings, promoting the strengthening of ideological and political courses through improvement and their development through innovation, and effectively enhancing the effectiveness of education.
习近平总书记指出,“改革创新是时代精神,青少年是最活跃的群体,思政课建设要向改革创新要活力”。这就要求思政课建设必须加快推进内涵式发展,因事而化、因时而进、因势而新,动态检视思政课建设中的问题和不足,不断丰富教育资源、更新教育手段,着力破解瓶颈短板,推动思政课在改进中加强、在创新中发展,切实提高育人实效。
Creating high-precision, cutting-edge demonstration “golden courses.” [1]1 “Golden courses” (金课) is a term used in Chinese education policy to refer to high-quality, exemplary courses that are rigorous, innovative, and effective, as opposed to “watery courses” (水课) that are considered low-quality or superficial. The pertinence of teaching content and the attractiveness of teaching methods in school ideological and political courses are important factors that directly affect students’ sense of gain. Beijing fully leverages the advantage of gathering renowned experts and masters, continuously creating online demonstration teaching activities such as “Golden Courses Begin,” launching “Hundred People, Hundred Lectures” demonstration “golden courses,” and providing a year-round, full-coverage online classroom for ideological and political course teachers across the city. It continuously increases support for the High-Precision and Cutting-Edge Innovation Center for Ideological and Political Courses in Beijing Universities, constructing six major platforms to high standards: an ideological and political course teaching information platform, a Marxist theory research and literature support platform, a teaching resource sharing platform, a digital teaching platform, a teaching quality evaluation platform, and a practical education platform, providing support for ideological and political course teachers in the city and even nationwide to improve teaching quality.
打造高精尖示范“金课”。学校思政课教学内容的针对性、教学方式的吸引力,是直接影响学生获得感的重要因素。北京市充分发挥名师名家集聚优势,持续打造“金课开讲啦”等网络示范教学活动,推出“百人百讲”示范“金课”,为全市思政课教师提供贯穿全年、覆盖全员的网络大课堂。持续加大对北京高校思政课高精尖创新中心支持力度,高标准建设思政课教学资讯平台、马克思主义理论研究和文献支撑平台、教学资源共享平台、数字化教学平台、教学质量评估平台、实践育人平台等六大平台,为全市乃至全国高校思政课教师提升教学质量提供支撑。
Promote digital empowerment of education and teaching. Seize the pain points, difficulties, and key focal points of teaching, and treat modern information technology as the “maximum increment” for promoting the high-quality development of school ideological and political work, especially the construction of ideological and political courses. Explore the iterative innovation of elements such as teaching concepts, methods, and scenarios in ideological and political courses in the digital era. For the community of teachers and students, deeply implement the “Digital Marxist Academy” project, use 5G holographic technology to explore the establishment of a “dual-teacher classroom” linking schools and localities, create a “fingertip ideological and political course” learning APP for teachers and students across the city, empower traditional ideological and political course teaching with technology, and enhance students’ sense of gain.
推动数字化赋能教育教学。抓住教学痛点、难点和关键着力点,将现代信息技术作为促进学校思想政治工作高质量发展特别是思政课建设的“最大增量”,探索数字时代思政课教学理念、方法、场景等要素的迭代革新。面向师生群体,深入实施“数字马院”工程,利用5G全息技术探索建立校地联动的“双师课堂”,打造全市师生“指尖上的思政课”学习APP,以科技赋能传统思政课教学,增强学生的获得感。
Carry out regular quality monitoring. Whether ideological and political courses can fulfill the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education [2]2 “Fostering virtue through education” (立德树人) is a fundamental task of education in China, emphasizing moral cultivation as the root of talent development. depends on teaching quality. Beijing has established teaching organizations such as the Steering Committee for Ideological and Political Course Teaching in Higher Education Institutions to strengthen the evaluation, monitoring, consultation, and guidance of ideological and political course teaching quality in higher education institutions across the city. Actively explore the establishment of a two-tier teaching supervision team at the municipal and school levels, recruit retired cadres, experts, and teachers with good political quality and rich teaching experience to serve as teaching information officers, incorporate them into the school teaching supervision team, and build a three-dimensional teaching evaluation system involving leadership evaluation, expert evaluation, peer evaluation, and student evaluation.
开展常态化质量监测。思政课能否落实好立德树人根本任务,教学质量是关键。北京市成立高校思政课教学指导委员会等教学组织,加强对全市高校思政课教学质量的评估监测、咨询指导。积极探索建立市校两级教学督导员队伍,聘请政治素质好、教学经验足的老干部、老专家、老教师担任教学信息员,纳入学校教学督导员队伍,构建领导评、专家评、同事评、学生评的立体化教学评价体系。
Build a comprehensive guarantee system. The construction of ideological and political courses in the New Era is not a single-department, single-line task, but a complex and arduous systemic project that requires the construction of a guarantee system involving all personnel, throughout the entire process, and across all dimensions. Beijing has researched and formulated specialized documents such as the “Beijing Action Plan for Deepening the Reform and Innovation of School Ideological and Political Theory Courses in the New Era” and “Several Measures on Promoting the Quality Assurance Project for Ideological and Political Courses in Beijing Higher Education Institutions” to continuously improve the policy system. Guide higher education institutions to continuously optimize the method for distributing post subsidies for full-time ideological and political course teachers, form reasonable grade differentials, and effectively leverage the incentive and guiding role of subsidies in improving the teaching quality of ideological and political courses.
构建全方位保障体系。新时代思政课建设不是单一部门单纯一条线的工作,而是一项复杂且艰巨的系统工程,需要构建全员、全程、全方位的保障体系。北京市研究制定《北京市深化新时代学校思想政治理论课改革创新行动计划》《关于推进北京高校思政课质量保障工程的若干措施》等专门文件,不断完善政策体系。指导高校不断优化思政课专职教师岗位补贴发放办法,形成合理级差,切实发挥补贴在提升思政课教学质量上的激励引导作用。
III. Based on the advantages of the capital, vigorously promote the comprehensive reform of “grand ideological and political courses” with practical teaching as the theme
三、立足首都优势,大力推进以实践教学为主题的“大思政课”综合改革
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “We must attach great importance to the practicality of ideological and political courses, and combine the small classroom of ideological and political courses with the big classroom of society,” “Ideological and political courses should not only be taught in the classroom, but also in social life,” “We must make good use of ‘grand ideological and political courses’ and must integrate them with reality.” Beijing insists on using “grand ideological and political courses” to connect the small classroom of ideological and political courses with the big classroom of society, so that ideological and political courses align with the times, resonate with reality, and walk with practice, better promoting the high-quality development of ideological and political education.
习近平总书记强调,“要高度重视思政课的实践性,把思政小课堂同社会大课堂结合起来”,“思政课不仅应该在课堂上讲,也应该在社会生活中来讲”,“‘大思政课’我们要善用之,一定要跟现实结合起来”。北京市坚持以“大思政课”打通思政小课堂和社会大课堂,让思政课与时代同向、与现实同频、与实践同行,更好地推动思想政治教育高质量发展。
Seize major events as opportunities to strengthen value guidance. Allowing students to personally participate in practice and feel the power of thought and the force of truth in major events is an effective way to enhance the effectiveness of education. In recent years, Beijing has adhered to the strategic positioning of the “four centers” [3]3 The “four centers” refer to Beijing’s strategic positioning as the national political center, cultural center, international exchange center, and center for scientific and technological innovation. of the city, fulfilled the basic responsibilities of the capital for the “four services” [4]4 The “four services” refer to the capital’s basic duties: serving the central Party and state organs, serving international exchanges, serving scientific, technological, and educational development, and serving the improvement of people’s lives., firmly grasped the precious opportunities of major events such as celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, and hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics, organized hundreds of thousands of young students to leverage their own strengths to participate in various service and support tasks such as mass parades, cultural performances, and volunteer services; organized ideological and political course teachers to eat, live, and train together with students, bringing ideological and political courses to the front line of major Party and state activities, helping young students take a “grand ideological and political course” of political baptism in practice.
以重大活动为契机强化价值引领。让学生亲身参与实践,在重大活动中感受思想伟力,感悟真理力量,是提升育人效能的有效途径。近年来,北京市坚持“四个中心”城市战略定位,履行“四个服务”首都基本职责,牢牢把握庆祝新中国成立70周年,庆祝中国共产党成立100周年,举办北京冬奥会、冬残奥会等重大活动的宝贵契机,组织数十万名青年学生发挥自身特长,参与群众游行、文艺汇演、志愿服务等各类服务保障工作;组织思政课教师与学生同吃同住同训练,将思政课开到了党和国家重大活动第一现场,帮助青年学生在实践中上好政治洗礼的“大思政课”。
Tell the vivid practice of the land of Beijing well. Moving ideological and political courses out of the classroom and “teaching them in social life” is a powerful measure to stimulate students’ learning enthusiasm and enhance educational effectiveness. Based on the capital’s greatest reality of being the “capital” and the functional positioning of the “four centers,” Beijing has focused on the points where General Secretary Xi Jinping has inspected or sent reply letters, established more than 200 “immersive” practical teaching bases at iconic locations such as the Peking University Red Building, the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall, and the Qianmen Council Chamber, covering all 16 districts of the city, forming brands such as “Grand Ideological and Political Course of the International Science and Technology Innovation Center,” “Grand Ideological and Political Course of the International Exchange Center,” and “Seven Ones for Primary and Secondary School Students.” Coordinate the city’s propaganda and cultural resources, leverage the converging advantages of Beijing’s ancient capital culture, red culture, Beijing-flavor culture, and innovative culture, launch cultural education brands such as the “Beijing ‘Jing’ Culture, Youth Bloom” Action Plan and the “Grand Ideological and Political Course on the Central Axis,” with 25 projects and 65 specific activities, creating vivid practical classrooms for young students in the capital to study Xi Jinping Thought on Culture and strengthen cultural confidence. Compile at a high level 12 municipal-level teaching cases such as “Immediate Response to Complaints” and “Whistle-Blowing at the Street and Township Level, Department Reporting” [5]5 “Immediate Response to Complaints” (接诉即办) and “Whistle-Blowing at the Street and Township Level, Department Reporting” (街乡吹哨、部门报到) are Beijing municipal governance mechanisms designed to improve grassroots responsiveness and inter-departmental coordination., and over 20 analyses of key and difficult issues such as “Why Love for the Party, Love for the Country, and Love for Socialism Are Consistent,” promptly responding to students’ ideological confusions and practical concerns. Build a high-quality teaching case library of the vivid practice of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in the land of Beijing, pilot the offering of elective courses on the vivid practice of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in the land of Beijing in higher education institutions, and promote the effective integration of the small classroom of ideological and political courses with the big classroom of society.
讲好京华大地鲜活实践。把思政课堂搬出教室,“在社会生活中来讲”,是激发学生学习热情、提升教育效果的有力举措。北京市立足“首都”这一最大市情和“四个中心”功能定位,以习近平总书记考察或回信点位为重点,在北大红楼、香山革命纪念馆、前门议事厅等标志性点位,建立200余个“沉浸式”实践教学基地,覆盖全市16区,形成“国际科创中心大思政课”、“国际交往中心大思政课”、“中小学生‘七个一’”等品牌。统筹全市宣传文化资源,发挥北京古都文化、红色文化、京味文化、创新文化汇聚优势,推出“‘京’彩文化 青春绽放”行动计划、“中轴线上的‘大思政课’”等文化育人品牌,25个项目、65项具体活动,为首都青年学生打造学习习近平文化思想、坚定文化自信的鲜活实践课堂。高水平编制“接诉即办”、“街乡吹哨、部门报到”等12个市级教学案例和“爱党爱国爱社会主义为什么是一致的”等20余个重点难点问题解析,及时回应学生思想困惑和现实关切。高质量建设习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想在京华大地的生动实践教学案例库,在高校试点开设习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想在京华大地的生动实践选修课,助推思政小课堂与社会大课堂有效贯通。
Create a “one school, one policy” characteristic brand. The rich historical and cultural resources and teaching and research resources of schools provide fertile soil for making good use of “grand ideological and political courses.” On the basis of fully leveraging the disciplinary and professional characteristics of schools, various schools have focused on building a number of professional education platforms, excavating the spiritual qualities embedded in industries and professions, and creating grand ideological and political course brands such as “Serving the Country with Aerospace,” “People’s City,” “Ideological and Political Courses in the Concert Hall,” and “Champion Ideological and Political Courses,” achieving the organic unity of knowledge transmission, value shaping, and ability enhancement. Develop educational resources with characteristics of the student situation, excavate the characters, stories, and spirits unique to the school, leverage the educational value of people and things around them, and through rich affinity and appeal, make ideological and political courses flesh-and-blood, warm, and powerful.
打造一校一策特色品牌。学校丰富的历史文化资源和教学科研资源,为善用“大思政课”提供了丰沃的育人土壤。各校在充分发挥学校学科专业特色的基础上,着力建设了一批专业育人平台,挖掘蕴含在行业、专业中的精神特质,打造出“空天报国”、“人民城市”、“音乐厅里的思政课”、“冠军思政”等大思政课品牌,实现知识传授、价值塑造和能力提升的有机统一。开发具有学情特点的育人资源,挖掘学校特色的人物、故事、精神,发挥身边人身边事的育人价值,通过丰富的亲和力、感染力,让思政课变得有血肉、有温度、有力量。
IV. Focus on the “Six Requirements” standard, strive to build a high-quality, professional ideological and political course teacher team
四、聚焦“六要”标准,努力建设高素质专业化思政课教师队伍
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “The key to running ideological and political theory courses well lies in the teachers, and the key lies in giving full play to the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of teachers,” “We must strive to build a team of ideological and political course teachers with strong politics, deep feelings, new thinking, broad vision, strict self-discipline, and upright personality.” As the bearers, organizers, and implementers of teaching activities, ideological and political course teachers play a leading role in the construction of ideological and political courses. Beijing focuses on strengthening the construction of the ideological and political course teacher team, continuously improving the quality and ability level of teachers.
习近平总书记指出,“办好思想政治理论课关键在教师,关键在发挥教师的积极性、主动性、创造性”,“要着力建设一支政治强、情怀深、思维新、视野广、自律严、人格正的思政课教师队伍”。思政课教师作为教学活动的承担者、组织者和实施者,在思政课建设中发挥主导作用。北京市着力加强思政课教师队伍建设,持续提升教师素养和能力水平。
Select and strengthen the teacher team. Beijing eliminates risks at the source and improves the overall quality and comprehensive ability of the teacher team. Strictly control the entry point, implement requirements such as that newly recruited ideological and political course teachers must be CPC members, and treat content such as teacher ethics and conduct, political ability, and political awareness as important parts of the selection and assessment. Strictly control the staffing point, strictly follow the teacher-student ratio of no less than 1:350 to verify the positions of full-time ideological and political course teachers in higher education institutions, and ensure the implementation of national standards for the staffing of ideological and political course teachers in primary and secondary schools. Optimize the structure point, encourage higher education institutions to attract outstanding teachers from other disciplines and counselors to serve as ideological and political course teachers through forms such as “introduction, hiring, transfer, and preparation,” invite well-known experts, industry pioneers, and famous alumni to collectively prepare lessons and co-teach with ideological and political course teachers, promoting the combination of unity and diversity in ideological and political course teaching. Innovate the exit mechanism, treat course evaluation results as an important basis for the development of ideological and political course teachers, implement dynamic exit for teachers who rank consistently low in teaching evaluations, and promote the ideological and political course teacher team to “move” in terms of being able to go up and down, and enter and exit.
选优配强教师队伍。北京市从源头处杜绝风险,提升教师队伍整体素质和综合能力。严把入口关,落实新入职思政课教师必须为中共党员等要求,将师德师风、政治能力、政治意识等内容作为选聘考核的重要内容。严把配备关,严格按照师生比不低于1:350比例,核定高校专职思政课教师岗位,抓好中小学思政课教师配备国家规定标准落实落地。优化结构关,鼓励高校通过“引、聘、转、备”等形式,吸引其他学科优秀教师、辅导员担任思政课教师,邀请知名专家、行业先锋、知名校友等群体,与思政课教师集体备课、共同授课,推动思政课教学统一性和多样性相结合。创新退出机制,将评课结果作为思政课教师发展的重要依据,对评教连续排名靠后的教师实施动态退出,推动思政课教师队伍在能上能下、能进能出上“动起来”。
Improve the teacher training system. Based on the characteristics of the growth and development of ideological and political course teachers, refine the training and cultivation system, and establish a comprehensive teacher training system covering all types and diverse forms, including newly appointed teachers, young teachers, and backbone teachers. In light of the group characteristics and individual needs of different types of teachers, improve the training curriculum system, conduct precise, targeted collective lesson preparation and teaching training by course and by topic, and implement a certification system for teaching positions. Establish a system for the professional title evaluation and appointment of ideological and political course teachers that features "separate plans, separate indicators, and separate evaluations" and "one file per teacher," continuously implement the "Ideological and Political Course Teacher Funding Plan," smooth the channels for teachers' professional growth, build platforms for development, and continuously enhance teachers' comprehensive capabilities. Guide universities to continuously optimize the evaluation indicator system for ideological and political course teachers, highlighting the training and evaluation orientation that prioritizes teaching. Strengthen practical training, implement the project for cultivating Marxist political talents in the New Era, and increase efforts to select and train cadres from among ideological and political course teachers. Implement a practical training plan for ideological and political course teachers, organizing activities such as national conditions investigations, temporary assignments in Party and government organs and at the grassroots level, and focused research.
完善教师培养体系。根据思政课教师成长发展特点,健全培训培养体系,建立涵盖新上岗教师、青年教师、骨干教师等全类型、多样态的教师培训体系。针对不同类型教师的群体特征和个性化需求,完善培训课程体系,分课程、分专题开展精准滴灌式集体备课和教学培训,实施持证上岗制度。建立思政课教师职称评聘“单列计划、单设指标、单独评审”、“一师一档”,持续实施“思政课教师资助计划”,畅通教师职业成长通道,搭建成长发展平台,不断提升教师综合能力。指导高校持续优化思政课教师评价指标体系,突出教学优先的培养和评价导向。加强实践锻炼,实施新时代马克思主义政治人才培养工程,加大从思政课教师中选拔培养干部的力度。实施思政课教师实践锻炼计划,组织开展国情考察、党政机关和基层挂职锻炼、蹲点调研等。
Establish a regular exchange mechanism. An outstanding ideological and political course teacher is not only cultivated through teaching but also "honed" and mentored. Beijing focuses on enhancing the teaching capabilities of ideological and political course teachers through regular exchanges and mutual learning. Create the "Young Teacher Forum" for young teachers from universities nationwide to share teaching and educational experiences and build a communication platform.

V. Strengthen Responsibility and Action, Gather Strong Synergy from the Whole Society to Support the Construction of School Ideological and Political Courses
五、强化担当作为,凝聚全社会支持学校思政课建设的强大合力
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "Party committees at all levels should place the construction of ideological and political courses on their important agendas, grasp the prominent issues constraining the construction of ideological and political courses, and take effective measures in terms of work patterns, team building, support and guarantees." Beijing strives to strengthen planning and design, continuously improving the work pattern of unified leadership by Party committees, joint management by the Party and government, individual responsibility by relevant departments, and coordinated cooperation by the whole society.
习近平总书记强调,“各级党委要把思政课建设摆上重要议程,抓住制约思政课建设的突出问题,在工作格局、队伍建设、支持保障等方面采取有效措施”。北京市着力加强规划设计,不断完善党委统一领导、党政齐抓共管、有关部门各负其责、全社会协同配合的工作格局。
Comprehensively strengthen Party leadership. The key to strengthening the construction of ideological and political courses lies in the strong leadership of the Party, building a management system that connects the upper and lower levels and is effective in implementation through systemic innovation. The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee listens to reports on the construction of ideological and political courses annually, and includes the comprehensive offering of the course "Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" in the municipal Party committee's work priorities, reviewing and approving the course teaching plan. The Municipal Party Committee's Education Work Leading Group studies and deliberates on key tasks such as "Grand Ideological and Political Courses" and the "Project to Forge the Soul of the New Generation." Coordinate and promote the system for municipal leaders to visit schools for research and attend classes, leverage the roles of the Municipal People's Congress and the Municipal Political Consultative Conference, promote coordinated efforts among various departments and districts, and form a positive atmosphere across the city and society for caring about and supporting the construction of ideological and political courses. Adhere to systematic thinking, construct a comprehensive construction plan covering the content supply, curriculum system, teaching reform, educational community, team building, digital transformation, and mechanism guarantees of ideological and political courses, and improve the "one chessboard" [6]6 "One chessboard" (一盘棋) is a Chinese idiom meaning to coordinate all parts into a unified whole, often used in Party discourse to describe comprehensive planning and unified action. coordination mechanism, the "one package" work promotion mechanism, and the "integrated" collaborative implementation mechanism.
全面加强党的领导。加强思政课建设,关键靠党的坚强领导,通过体系创新,构建上下贯通、执行有力的管理体系。市委常委会每年专门听取思政课建设情况汇报,并将全面开设《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论》课纳入市委工作要点,审议通过课程教学方案。市委教育工作领导小组会研究审议“大思政课”、“时代新人铸魂工程”等重点工作。统筹推动市领导到学校调研听课和上讲台制度,发挥市人大、市政协作用,推动各部门各区协同发力,形成全市全社会关心支持思政课建设的良好氛围。坚持系统思维,构建涵盖思政课内容供给、课题体系、教学改革、育人共同体、队伍建设、数字化转型、机制保障等全面建设方案,健全“一盘棋”统筹协调机制、“一揽子”工作推进机制、“一体化”协同落实机制。
Firmly implement primary responsibilities. Schools are the main front for education and the main body for grasping the construction of ideological and political courses. Schools have an unshirkable responsibility to shoulder the political responsibility of running the key courses for fostering virtue through education [7]7 "Fostering virtue through education" (立德树人) is a fundamental task of education emphasized by the CPC, meaning to cultivate moral character and nurture talent.. All types of schools at all levels in Beijing earnestly assume their primary responsibilities, continuously improve the work system, and establish and refine a work system featuring unified leadership by the school Party committee, joint promotion by various departments, linkage between the university and its colleges, coordination by grassroots teaching organizations, and active participation by the majority of teachers. Strictly implement the "top leader" project [8]8 "Top leader project" (一把手工程) refers to a management approach where the highest-ranking official in an organization (e.g., the Party secretary) takes direct, personal responsibility for a specific task or initiative., with the school Party secretary and principal taking the lead in promoting the construction of ideological and political courses, taking the lead in contacting ideological and political course teachers, taking the lead in implementing the full-chain mechanism of "listening, preparing, and teaching" for ideological and political courses, and proactively working at the front line. Adhere to a problem-oriented approach, grasp the prominent issues constraining the construction of ideological and political courses, take effective measures in teaching management, team building, support and guarantees, solve difficulties and blockages, and strive to promote the construction of ideological and political courses.
压紧压实主体责任。学校是教育的主阵地,是抓好思政课建设的主体。扛起办好立德树人关键课程的政治责任,学校责无旁贷。北京市各级各类学校切实担负起主体责任,不断完善工作体系,建立健全学校党委统一领导、各部门共同推动、校院联动、基层教学组织协同、广大教师积极参与的工作体系。严格落实“一把手”工程,学校党委书记、校长带头推进思政课建设,带头联系思政课教师,带头落实“听、备、讲”全链条抓思政课机制,主动到一线开展工作。坚持问题导向,抓住制约思政课建设的突出问题,在教学管理、队伍建设、支持保障等方面采取有效措施,破解难点堵点,着力推进思政课建设。
Coordinate and gather forces from all sides. Promoting the connotative development of ideological and political course construction through upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground requires multi-party participation and effectively consolidating the synergy of home-school-society collaborative education. Beijing establishes the concept of "Grand Ideological and Political Education," establishes and refines mechanisms such as school-local government collaboration and museum-school pairing, transforming the capital's rich cultural, technological, and cultural relic resource advantages into the educational effectiveness of "Grand Ideological and Political Courses." Transform the disciplinary advantages of universities in Beijing in fields such as economics, history, and international relations into resource advantages for ideological and political course teachers to explain courses thoroughly, deeply, and vividly, planning and launching a batch of themed exhibitions and educational activities for teachers and students. Take the lead in formulating measures for the coordinated development of ideological and political courses in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, establish mechanisms for visiting and exchange among ideological and political course teachers and sharing of practical teaching resources across the three regions, hold the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Marxist College Collaborative Development Forum, and organize experts from the three regions for exchange, discussion, and collaborative research.
统筹汇聚各方力量。守正创新推动思政课建设内涵式发展,需要多方参与,有效凝聚家校社协同育人工作合力。北京市树立“大思政”理念,建立健全校地协同、馆校结对等机制,将首都丰富的文化、科技和文物等资源优势,转化为“大思政课”育人效能。将在京高校经济、历史、国际关系等方面的学科优势转化为思政课教师讲深、讲透、讲活思政课的资源优势,策划推出一批面向师生的主题展览和教育活动。牵头制定京津冀思政课建设协同发展措施,建立三地思政课教师访学交流、实践教学资源共享等机制,举办京津冀马克思主义学院协同发展论坛,组织三地专家交流研讨、协同攻关。
