Evocative Photos of Aging Animals

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

One image can be so powerful – able to elicit strong emotions and social awareness in an instant. Consider this project by a photographer who portraits elderly animals with a Hasselblad as a way to cope with her own mother having Alzheimer’s. The photographs she created are profound and heart wrenching, a unique look into aging with subjects we oftentimes overlook. Click through the tabs above to see some of her evocative images.

The photographer’s name is Isa Leshko, and this is what she has to say about the “Elderly Animals” project on her website:

“I am creating these photographs to gain a deeper understanding about what it means to be mortal and to exorcise my fears of aging. I have come to realize that these images are self-portraits, or at the very least, they are manifestations of my fears and hopes about what I will be like when I am old. My intention is to take an honest and unflinching look at old age and I want these images to inspire others to become aware of and to engage with their own attitudes toward aging and mortality.”

    校园文化建设实施方案

    校园精神文化建设。
    校园精神文化建设是校园文化建设的核心内容,也是最高追求,主要包括校园历史传统和被全体师生员工认同的共同文化观念、价值观念、生活观念等意识形态,是一所学校本质、个性、精神风貌的集中反映。具体做法如下:
    (1)充分利用各种有利契机,对学生进行爱国主义教育。坚持每周的国旗下讲话制度,认真做好节庆活动。
    (2)利用班队会,经常对学生进行日常行为习惯的养成教育和校情教育。坚持开好“两会”(晨会和班会),精心组织主题班队会。
    (3)创建红领巾广播站,及时播放校园新闻和优秀稿件,不断优化校园音响系统,上下课电铃设为动听的音乐铃声,课前进行温馨提示,课余时间要播放轻松欢快的音乐或歌曲,让师生在其中得到美的享受。
    (4)创办校刊编辑部,每年两期,展现全校师生精神风貌,搭建师生写作平台。
    (5)积极开辟第二课堂,定期举办“两节一会”(艺术节、科技节和运动会),不断丰富校园文化生活,陶冶师生道德情操。
    (6)实施特色大课间活动,集安全演练、文明礼仪、体质锻炼于一体,努力构建“平安校园”、“和谐校园”。
    (7)积极开展读书活动,努力营造“书香校园”氛围。班班成立“图书角”,学校设有阅览室,走廊陈列开放式书架,试行“书中寻‘蜜’、‘甜’在心里”的借阅管理办法,让每个学生都能“好读书、读好书、书读好”。
    (8)参照“感动中国人物”颁奖典礼形式,认真做好每年度的敬业标兵、教坛明星、班务模范、五好媳妇、敬老楷模等评选工作,实行奖励颁奖词办法,从多方面激励教师积极进取,努力打造“求真、务实、开拓、创新”的校园团队精神。
    (9)认真做好学生校园明星评选宣传工作。《国家基础教育改革纲要》指出:要建立促进学生全面发展的评价体系。评价不仅要关注学生的学习成绩,而且要发现和发展学生的多方面潜能,了解学生发展中的需求,帮助学生认识自我,建立自信,发挥评价的教育功能,促进学生发展。为此,我校遵照“全方位赏识学生,给每一位学生成功的机会”的评选号召,启动了校园明星评选活动。评选内容有:学习明星、管理明星、道德明星、进步明星、礼仪明星、才艺明星、劳动明星等,用“我是明星,我能行!”板块进行专项宣传,精心打造樊小明星的“星光大道”。
    (10)打造“爱生、重效、格高、业精”的教育团队精神。学校紧紧围绕“科研兴教、质量立校”的宗旨,狠抓校本培训,采取“经验交流、案例分析、课堂研讨、推门指导”等形式,提高教师教学能力;用每周三90分钟的集中学习制度,渗透“终身学习”的思想理念;积极开展校本教研活动,争取机会,搭建平台,走出去、请进来,每学年要求教师做到“六个一”,即:一个教育故事、一份教学设计、一节汇报课例、一篇课后反思、一本听课记录、一套学习材料。通过教师的实践与反思、合作与交流和专家的专业引领等形式,不断促进教师的专业成长,让“抬起头来走路!”的樊小口号唱响校园。
    3、校园制度文化建设。
    制度文化作为校园文化的内在机制,是维持学校正常秩序必不可少的保障系统。“无规矩不成方圆”,只有建立起完整的规章制度,规范了师生的行为,才有可能建立起良好的校风,才能保证学校各项工作的顺利开展。我们在制度建设中要做到“大家的制度大家定、大家的制度为大家”,努力营造“人人定制度、制度管人人”的和谐制度建设的新局面。
    自2007年以来,我们在制度建设中采取“从师生中来、到师生中去”的原则,借鉴他校成功经验,结合本校实际情况,不断建立健全各项规章制度,于2010年3月汇编成册。《樊学乡中心小学管理制度汇编》共有四部分内容,第一部分为“指导思想”,有教育方针、办学目标、办学理念、基本作风等内容;第二部分为“管理目标”,有学校中长期发展规划及保障措施和学校办学章程;第三部分是“岗位职责”,包括教师管理、学生管理、教育教学管理和后勤总务管理等相关制度。同时,我们还将校本教研工作单独提出进行专项管理,精心编印《樊学乡中心小学校本教研常规管理材料汇编》,旨在重视并以此为突破口,努力实现“立足樊学、辐射乡村、影响全县”的宏伟目标。
    五、实施步骤
    第一阶段(3——4月)起草方案、宣传动员,着手校园墙体文化建设,重点做好校舍的维修与新建工作。
    第二阶段(5——6月)借鉴经验,全面布置,重点做好班级文化建设工作,进一步补充完善墙体文化,使得校园整体文化建设初具规模,顺利通过316工程评估验收。
    第三阶段(7——8月)查漏补缺,改建部室,重点做好图书阅览室、自然实验室的搬迁工作。
    第四阶段(9——10月)反思整改,确定校旗、校徽、校标,重点做好章制完善、环境布置的整合性工作。
    第五阶段(11——12月)精心规划,打造品牌,重点做好校园文化长廊的建设与宣传工作,以百倍的信心迎接省级“创强”验收。
    总之,校园文化建设是一项周期长、见效慢的复杂的系统工程,需要我们实践和思考的问题还很多,只要我们真正做到思想重视、大胆探索、不断实践、及时整改,时刻拥有“以文化经营学校,让环境成为隐性课堂”的理念和做法,我们坚信:今日的“樊学”小学一定会成为明日“学樊”的特色学校,樊学的教育事业将在上级部门的正确领导下,在重视教育的乡党委、政府的关心支持下,在爱岗敬业的广大教职员工的通力合作下,樊小的办学目标更加明确!办学条件更加优越!办学质量更进一步!
