ABSTRACT

With the country's continuous attention to rural education, strengthening the construction of rural teachers in the new era has become a key measure to revitalize rural education in China. The proposal of the educator spirit undoubtedly provides a valuable value guide for leading rural teachers to stick to their original educational aspirations, devote themselves to rural education and its construction. This study combines the inner meaning of the educator spirit with the characteristics of the times, and deeply explores what kind of rural educator spirit rural teachers should practice in this special region, and draws the following conclusions: The educator spirit practiced by rural teachers is embodied in two aspects: theory and practice, which is mainly composed of six elements: ideal and belief, moral sentiment, educational wisdom, attitude towards cultivation, kindness and pursuit of greatness. Among them, rural education feelings rooted in rural areas are the most important thing for rural teachers to practice educator spirit.
