Features: The implementation of the new curriculum urgently requires to strengthen their learning, further their education, and quickly improve their professional level. Teacher labor differs from general labor. A teacher's professionalism includes both subject expertise and educational expertise. Teachers should be experts in both subject knowledge and subject teaching. The idea that "a scholar is a good teacher" is incorrect; it is also incorrect to believe that the academic requirements for primary and secondary school teachers are low. Outstanding primary and secondary school teachers need both a solid academic foundation, a broad academic perspective, the awareness of constantly updating knowledge and pursuing the forefront of academia; and the ability to grasp the essence of education, understand the development patterns of adolescents, master modern educational information technology, and possess qualities such as loving, caring for, and being responsible for students. Thus, they can develop students' wisdom, uncover their potential, inspire their creativity, and cultivate their sound personality. In summary, teachers should be both "subject masters" and "human masters." This book explores the reflection and reconstruction of China's secondary school curriculum in the face of the new century, covering eight basic aspects. Through it, teachers can learn about the various new perspectives, concepts, and views held by others and professional researchers on all aspects of the curriculum.
