A summary of teaching and research reform in primary schools

Teaching quality is the lifeline of the school, and the quality of education directly affects the reputation and image of the school and teachers in society. Next, I sorted out the summary of primary school teaching and research reform, welcome to consult it, and hope it will help you.

Summary of teaching and research reform in primary schools 1 This semester is an unusual one. The educational spring breeze of curriculum reform is coming, which makes the teaching face of the school present a brand-new situation. Looking back on the teaching and research work in our school this semester, we are very pleased. Teachers are actively engaged in this great educational reform in their ordinary posts. Everyone is United and cooperative, pioneering rigorously, seeking truth from facts and innovating, which has brought the teaching work of the school to a new level.

First, carry out regular teaching management.

Promoting the quality of teaching and scientific research and strengthening the daily management of teaching are the fundamental guarantee for implementing the education plan. Therefore, we always carry out the provisions of the county bureau and seriously organize the study of Zhangzhou Teaching and Research Routine (Revised Edition). Combined with the reality of our school, the teaching and research work plan has been carefully formulated, and the teaching and research groups of various disciplines have been organized to formulate activity plans and clarify their thinking. Give a good class and a good class in strict accordance with the curriculum plan issued by the Ministry. Regularly check the implementation of teachers' teaching routine work, give feedback in time when problems are found and conduct follow-up inspection.

1. Implement the management system of teaching routine, standardize the preparation, review, approval, assistance, inspection and evaluation, and pay close attention to the implementation of teaching routine. This semester, we still strengthen teaching supervision and carry out various teaching and research activities. Basically achieve "five things": layout, inspection, recording, summarizing feedback and rectification opinions. Fully implement the teaching "cross" policy, that is, prepare lessons in depth, attend lectures in a down-to-earth manner, do homework in a down-to-earth manner, teach vividly, use new methods, be diligent in activities, be strict in assessment, give careful guidance, be light in burden and have high quality. Teachers should prepare teaching methods, students, blackboard writing and exercises when preparing lessons. Be sure to prepare lessons before class, and put an end to copying lesson plans. The lesson plan of each class should be as complete as possible: teaching material analysis (unit teaching material analysis, teaching material analysis in each class), three-dimensional objectives, teaching emphases and difficulties, teaching ideas, preparation of teaching AIDS, teaching hours, teaching process, teaching summary, blackboard writing design, teaching experience and so on. Conduct pre-class speaking, listening and evaluating activities to promote lesson preparation and improve the quality of lectures.

2. Strengthen the monitoring of teaching quality, and establish a tracking report system for the examination quality of various disciplines, and a tracking report system for the mid-term and final knowledge tests. While affirming that the teaching quality has improved on the original basis, teachers should be organized to seriously discuss and summarize teaching mistakes, remedy them in time, and strive to achieve a steady improvement in teaching quality. The school can accurately grasp the teaching quality of each class, give timely feedback and timely guidance, and pay attention to the substantial improvement of the scores of all subjects.

3. Special attention should be paid to the work of "training outstanding students to make up the difference" and the education of students' good study habits. Teachers care about students in an all-round way, respect them and learn to listen and appreciate them. To treat students with learning difficulties, four priorities should be given in teaching: improvement priority, encouragement priority, face-to-face teaching priority and counseling priority. At the same time, it is closely combined with home visits to effectively improve the effectiveness of the work of "cultivating the excellent and making up the bad".

4. The teaching and research groups of various disciplines check twice every semester, and the guidance office checks three times at the beginning, middle and end of the semester respectively, and records the inspection situation in detail, writes the corresponding summary, puts forward rectification opinions in time for existing problems, and commends and encourages teachers who can write teaching reflections in time.

Through careful work, we have put the teaching routine into practice, and the teaching quality of the school is also rising steadily.

Second, change teachers' teaching concept.

At present, the wave of basic education curriculum reform has swept across the country, and it is urgent to update the teaching concept. As a front-line teacher of teaching reform, he has a great responsibility. Only by changing the concept of education and teaching can there be reform. Therefore, school leaders attach great importance to strengthening the training of teachers and organizing teachers to study together. Combined with practical work, talk about my experience and write down my learning experience. Teachers of all grades prepare lessons in a normal, standardized and personalized way. Through careful study, the new curriculum concept has basically penetrated into every teacher's mind.

Third, strive to improve the quality of teachers themselves.

The new curriculum poses a severe challenge to classroom teaching. In order to adapt to the new teaching changes, teachers should constantly strengthen the improvement of their own literacy. Make a teaching and research work plan at the beginning of each semester, and effectively improve the professional level and ability of teachers through the forms of "going out, please come in". The number of teachers going out to attend classes is increasing day by day, and teachers from the county seat are invited to our school for classroom guidance. The quality of music teaching has made a great leap. Teachers are required to prepare lessons with brand-new ideas, fully consider the characteristics and personality differences of students and the reality of the class, so as to highlight personality and prepare lessons from the perspective of students. There is preparation before class (data collection) and expansion after class. Check the lesson preparation twice and pay attention to the reflection after practice. Teachers have a certain amount of secondary lesson preparation and teaching essays, and the routine inspection of teaching should be normalized, strictly checked, problems found, pointed out in time and followed up. Every inspection, fair evaluation, timely feedback, carry forward the advanced, sum up and improve. It has effectively improved the education and teaching level of teachers and achieved remarkable results. Only by putting more energy and energy into the wave of teaching reform can education have hope.

Fourth, pay attention to students' personality differences and develop their potential.

Education is for the development of all students. The school not only attaches importance to the reform of classroom teaching, but also attaches importance to the development of students' personality and specialty, and cultivates students' innovative spirit and practical ability. This school year, the activities to promote teaching and learning are carried out normally. Use Children's Day to cooperate with the Young Pioneers Brigade to carry out a series of activities such as handwritten newspaper, calligraphy, painting, speech and singing. The activities inside the school are also very vivid, and various competitions such as recitation competition and cultural appraisal of radio exercise classes have been carried out. Under the careful, careful and patient guidance of teachers and the diligent study, hard exercise and unremitting efforts of students, students' skills and specialties have reached a new level and achieved many gratifying results. Good results have been achieved in this county-wide sampling test of sound, body and beauty, which has been recognized by the leaders.

5. Evaluate every student comprehensively and objectively.

Advocate a new round of curriculum reform &; Quot Based on the process, promote development &; Quot curriculum evaluation method based on. To this end, the school organizes all teachers &; Quot How to evaluate every student comprehensively and objectively &; Quot hold a seminar. Every teacher can talk about his own teaching practice, and everyone's opinions are very pertinent. Finally, all teachers have reached a consensus that they should not only pay attention to students' academic performance, but also develop their potential in many aspects. In the process of teaching, we strive to help students build self-confidence and stimulate their inner learning motivation.

Sixth, home-school contact

New progress and breakthrough The school has always attached importance to close contact with parents, and it is our tradition to conduct comprehensive home visits at the middle and end of each semester. This semester, in order to further improve parents' understanding and support for the new curriculum reform. Our school held a parents' forum on June 1 day, and specially invited the village secretary, village director, president of the elderly association and some enthusiastic people who are more concerned about supporting the school work. This shows that village cadres and parents pay more and more attention to education, which is a gratifying phenomenon. The successful convening of the conference has actively promoted the process of village, home and school work, and pointed out the direction for obtaining extensive home-school contact in the future.

& ampquot Like the strong wind in spring, it blows at night and blows open the petals of ten thousand pear trees &; quot。 The spring breeze of curriculum reform has blown into every campus with overwhelming momentum. There are a group of young teachers who love education in our school, and we are fully confident to carry out the teaching reform to the end. In the near future, we will see the beautiful scenery of pear blossoms.

Summary of the reform of teaching and research in primary schools 2 This year is the second year of implementing the reform of the education system in our school. Over the past year, we have closely focused on improving the quality of teachers and students, taking moral education as the guide, taking teaching and research reform as the breakthrough, grasping strict process management, making progress in learning and improving. The achievements and existing problems in the reform of the education system in the past year and the ideas for the next step are reported as follows:

Over the past year, our school has focused on improving classroom efficiency and creating an efficient classroom, taking the "Six Ones" project as the starting point ("Six Ones" means that each teacher reads a monograph on education and teaching in one school year, writes a reading note in one semester, writes a valuable teaching plan in one semester, collects "wrong questions" in one week, writes a lecture note in one week and practices chalk words in one week. ), has done a lot of fruitful work in improving teachers' professional level and professional ethics.

First, carry out the reform of teaching and research to promote the improvement of education and teaching quality.

1) Reform the teaching evaluation mechanism to stimulate teachers' enthusiasm for work.

1. Reform the teaching evaluation mechanism. In order to fully mobilize teachers' enthusiasm and promote the optimal development of the teaching staff, the school reformed the previous teaching evaluation mechanism, and implemented the teaching achievement reward and punishment system of "rewarding when entering, punishing when leaving", no longer ignoring the quality of students, taking the average score as the benchmark, and the quality of teaching achievements is compared by teachers themselves, rewarding when entering and punishing when leaving. This move recognizes the differences of students and evaluates teachers objectively, fairly and fairly, which is warmly supported by teachers.

2. Establish a "multiple incentive award". In order to encourage the advanced and set an example, the school has also reformed the evaluation of outstanding students. According to different teaching years and positions, "multiple incentive awards" were set up. Awards include: teaching quality award, teaching quality progress award, successful class teacher award, classroom teaching style award, outstanding post award, caring student model award, successful counseling award, newcomer award, outstanding team award and outstanding contribution award. Multiple incentive awards have set up many awards, which have enabled more than a quarter of teachers in the school to win awards in different fields, expanded the scope of awards, set more examples, mobilized more teachers' work enthusiasm, and effectively promoted the development of education and teaching.

(2) Standardize teaching behavior and strictly manage the details of teaching routine.

Details determine success or failure, and details show quality. In order to make the school teachers follow the standard requirements in the whole teaching process and make the school teaching order run normally, our school has refined the original teaching routine work.

1, modify the supplementary teaching routine requirements. The school revised and supplemented the following contents: the requirements for teachers to prepare lessons collectively and write lesson plans; Teachers' requirements for class, homework assignment and correction; Teaching and research activity system; Teacher attendance system; Teachers' requirements for tutoring students; Evaluation standard of classroom teaching; Training system and requirements for young teachers; Requirements for correcting homework in Chinese, mathematics, English and Tibetan subjects; The requirements of various disciplines for students' work norms; Students' classroom routine requirements, etc. Through the above measures, teaching routine management is more scientific, reasonable and operable, which further standardizes teachers' teaching behavior and provides a strong guarantee for deepening education and teaching reform and comprehensively improving teaching quality.

2. Strictly monitor the teaching quality and strengthen the management of teaching process.

1) Implement teaching quality monitoring. In the daily teaching management, in addition to monitoring the quality of the mid-term and final period, the school adopts the method of one unit, one test, one summary and one hand-in for Chinese, Mathematics, Tibetan and English. That is, at the end of the unit examination, the subject teacher will submit the Teaching Quality Analysis Form (summarized from three aspects: serious knowledge defects, existing reasons and research countermeasures) and the revised test paper to the teaching and research section for inspection. The teaching and research section points out the shortcomings from the aspects of students' thesis writing, teachers' correction and secondary correction. Through monitoring, we can fully grasp the teaching situation, guide the existing problems in time, and urge our teachers to constantly adjust their teaching strategies, thus improving the teaching quality.

2) Strengthen weak subjects. The teaching and research section conducts a single sampling test for weak subjects with indefinite grades and indefinite time. Specific content: calculation, concept and application questions; Basic knowledge of Chinese, reading, composition, English words, grammar; Read and write in Tibetan. This move is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the disadvantaged subjects.

3) Reform the school-level examination. Taking the discussion on improving the quality of education and teaching as an opportunity, the school reformed the school-level subject examination to solve problems, find out the weak links in teaching and give full play to the role of baton. Language: improve the composition score, 20 points in grade three and 25 points in grades four to six; Put an end to the exaggeration of composition correction; Tibetan: read aloud in grades 3-5 (key texts, completed one week before the exam), make sentences in grade 2, read pictures and write words in grade 3, and write exercises in grades 4, 5 and 6; English: 1-3 grade to increase listening; Increase reading in grades 4-5 (key texts, completed one week before the exam); Mathematics: standardize the requirements for answering questions, and the operation questions must be standardized. For example, draw with a pencil, otherwise it will be judged as a mistake.

4) Pay close attention to the quality of sixth grade teaching. Seriously analyze the sixth-grade subjects and students' current situation, guide relevant teachers to further clarify the problems existing in teaching and take targeted countermeasures. Strengthen the sixth grade management, adopt the method that a management team is responsible for one subject, and do a good job in the sixth grade. In order to reward the superior and punish the inferior, the school has formulated and revised the "Reward and Punishment System for the Sixth Grade Entrance Examination" to make it more scientific, reasonable and humanized, and to ensure the teaching quality.

5) Advocating the view that mistakes are important teaching resources. The school requires each teacher to collect a set of "wrong questions" every semester to record the mistakes made by students in daily teaching and testing, so as to provide targeted explanations and after-school counseling and accumulate valuable information for future teaching. During the half semester and the end of the semester, the teaching and research section collects "wrong questions" and puts * * * wrong questions in the test questions to check the counseling effect and achieve the purpose of highlighting key points and breaking through difficulties.

6) Pay attention to the expansion and accumulation of knowledge. Judging from the entrance examination, the examination questions are flexible and changeable, which requires us to expand our daily teaching in each year, pay attention to the teaching of methods and the cultivation of students' various abilities. Teach students to learn the law, advocate "let them learn", let them learn, and design exercises that help develop their thinking, so as to draw inferences from one example and achieve the purpose of drawing inferences from another. Each class accumulates Chinese extracurricular knowledge in any form, and the content is changed every three to five days or once a week. Every day or before each class, spend three or five minutes reading aloud, and finally practice can make it a recitation. In this way, every day, more thunder and less rain, students also learned something.

7) Improve the "Parents' Open Day" activities. Parents' Open Day is held once every academic year, lasting for one week at a time in early April of the first half of the year. Classes are not scheduled and teaching is normal. Parents can enter the classroom at any time in a week. In addition to classroom teaching, there will also be a talent show. During the open week, the third class every afternoon is the talent show time, and parents are arranged to visit the campus function room during the break. By holding "Parents' Open Day" activities, parents can fully understand their children's study and life at school. At the same time, they can seek more and better opinions or suggestions through the practice of opening schools, and strive to build a school that parents are satisfied with.

3) Improve teachers' professional quality and promote teachers' professional growth.

1, carry out school-based training. In order to improve teachers' professional level, promote teachers' professional growth and give full play to the leading role of trained backbone teachers. The school will set the first half of the year as the school-based training time, and the training teachers are the backbone teachers who have participated in the national training in the early stage. On the one hand, it not only tests the teacher's lectures, but also restricts the teacher during the training period, so as to achieve the goal of training one person to benefit the whole school and make the best use of his talents.

2. Do a good job in teaching and scientific research.

The first is to set up a teaching and research section. According to the actual situation of our school, the working system of the teaching and research section has been formulated, and the responsibilities of the teaching and research section staff have been refined. The establishment of the teaching and research section has solved the problems of setting questions in school-level examinations, formulating and organizing school-level teaching and research activities, helping young teachers, researching small topics, selecting competition courses, etc., and ensured that teaching and research activities are carried out in an orderly manner with good quality and quantity.

The second is to prepare lessons collectively. In order to change the negative influence of copying and pasting, promote teaching reform through teaching and research, and improve classroom efficiency, all teaching and research groups have carried out "collaborative detail preparation" which combines independent preparation and collaborative preparation, and put forward specific requirements for collaborative detail preparation. Cooperative detail preparation strengthens the cooperation and communication between teachers. On the basis of sharing collective and cooperative teaching plans, the teaching plan is designed with originality and individuality from four aspects: teaching material processing, teaching strategies, expanding exercises and unit summary, which highlights the teaching style and advantages of teachers. Careful lesson preparation is the only way for our school to create an efficient classroom.

The third is to carry out teaching exchange activities. In order to promote the educational development of our school and accelerate the pace of teaching and research reform, our school successfully carried out teaching exchange activities with Puti Road Primary School in Haizhu District, Guangzhou under the matchmaking of Lao Jianping. By observing and evaluating classes, the problems of education and teaching were discussed, which promoted the understanding and friendship between the two schools, reached the intention of building a "hand in hand" school in the next step, and laid a solid foundation for long-term exchanges and common development in the future.

4) Improve teachers' professionalism and make education full of love. In order to make teachers' professional ethics education more emotional, vivid and intuitive, the school broadened the educational channels, changed the usual monotonous theoretical preaching, organized teachers to watch the Indian film Little Star on the Earth, and told a touching story about an art teacher who helped a language-impaired child abandoned by his family and finally overcame difficulties with his noble personality charm. The emotional pictures and warm words touched the teacher who watched the movie and achieved the effect that silence is better than sound. At the same time, teachers' reading education and teaching focus on teachers' extensive development, strengthen connotation training and improve teachers' professional quality.

5) Promote students' all-round development according to local conditions.

1, open a reading class. In order to improve students' reading level, the school has set up reading classes and formulated detailed rules for the management of reading classes. Through one year's efforts, students' reading habits have been basically developed. We believe that with the passage of time, the benefits of reading courses will emerge.

2. Make home visits. When the school formulated the home visit system, it made clear the quantitative indicators, principles, contents and precautions of home visit, especially the "eight must-visit" regulation ("eight must-visit": top students have families; Single parent families with divorced parents; Families of students with particularly difficult life; Families of disabled students; Students' families with behavioral deviation; Students' families whose thoughts and achievements have undergone major changes; Families of students with learning difficulties; Migrant children's families, etc. Through the joint efforts of home and school, * * * educated students well, avoided the form of home visits, got to know students comprehensively, and played a preventive role in accidents.

3. Conduct a disciplinary competition. According to the learning situation, the school pays attention to the combination, popularization and improvement of students' specialties and foundations in activities, so that students can exercise their abilities and show their specialties. For example, Pinyin is related to students' whole learning career, and it has been proved that Pinyin has no remedial effect. In view of this, all first-year students will pass the pinyin exam after learning pinyin. Make the competition truly become the supplement and continuation of classroom teaching, effectively promote the teaching of various subjects, and further expand the space for students to recognize and exercise.

Second, colorful team activities to promote the healthy growth of students

Our school always takes moral education as the head, taking the road of "educating people, strictly grasping conventions and forming characteristics", and promoting students' healthy growth through colorful team activities.

1. Strengthen the construction of campus culture and give full play to the educational role of the environment. Learn to advocate "let every wall speak and make every wall a culture." Therefore, we should make full use of blackboard newspaper, campus publicity window, "Little Bee" radio station, speeches under the national flag, classes and visits to the moral education room to educate students on national history, school history, striving to be five good citizens and four good teenagers, and give full play to the educational function of the position, so that students can hear and hear in a strong campus cultural atmosphere, which is subtly influenced.

2. Do a good job in training the code of conduct and implement regular education. The cultivation of behavioral norms is the basic project of school moral education. The school implements "weekly behavior education", refines the goals of students' weekly behavior education, and educates students on "ethics", "civility" and "words and deeds". At the same time, the head teacher combined with the goal of "weekly moral education" to infiltrate the code of conduct into the teaching activities, so that students can distinguish right from wrong, obey the law and be polite to others.

3. Create activity carriers and implement moral education in activities.

The first is to carry out revolutionary tradition education. The school organizes publicity, education and practical activities in combination with major festivals and anniversaries. Practical activities such as "Love my Linzhi, Clean My Home", "Singing the Party with Childlike Hearts", "Celebrating June 1st" and "Grave-sweeping in memory of martyrs" were carried out, so that students can strengthen their feelings of loving the Party, patriotism and socialism in revolutionary traditional education. The second is to carry out social practice activities. The school invited the local taxation bureau to give lectures on tax law, launched a series of publicity activities on energy conservation and emission reduction with the theme of "practicing energy conservation and low carbon and building a beautiful home", and participated in military training activities, which enhanced students' sense of service and social responsibility. The third is to participate in various competitions. The school called on students to actively participate in various activities, and successively participated in the regional essay contest of "Reviving China, Starting with Me", the painting and calligraphy exhibition of "Golden Childhood, Flying Dreams" and the speech contest of "Reviving China, Starting with Me". Through colorful activities, students' study life is enriched, their abilities are exercised and their good hobbies are cultivated.

4. Strengthen safety publicity and education to guide students to realize the value of life. Our school adheres to the policy of "safety first, prevention first", carries out "safe campus" activities in a down-to-earth manner, strengthens safety publicity and education, guides students to realize the value of life, and strives to create a good campus safety and education environment. Organize classes to watch cartoon propaganda films on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction; Invite regional traffic police detachments to hold safety knowledge lectures, and regional power companies to hold safety knowledge lectures to guide students to better protect their own safety, cherish their lives, abide by traffic rules and grow up healthily and safely; Carry out publicity and education activities on "disaster prevention and mitigation" and earthquake-proof evacuation drills between classes. The development of the above-mentioned series of activities has effectively improved the awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation of all teachers and students and their ability to avoid risks and save themselves, and effectively improved the level of disaster prevention and mitigation work in the school.

5. Create bright spots and deepen health education. In order to strengthen students' health education, the school has set up a health education class and held a special class meeting on prevention and control of infectious diseases in spring and winter; Go to the regional party school to listen to the "Special Lecture on H7N9 Avian Influenza" organized by the Regional Science and Technology Bureau. Through publicity and education for students, students can master health knowledge and cultivate good health habits.

6. Carry out sunshine sports. The school puts students' physical activities in school at least 1 hour every day into practice. Except physical education class, we insist on having 30-minute recess activities every morning and afternoon. Students can do eye exercises, run, jump rope, exercise between classes, dance in campus groups or play various games. Various activities between classes have eased the fatigue of classroom study, enhanced the friendship between students and promoted the development of the school.

Three. Achievements made

Over the past year, with the joint efforts of all teachers and students, our school has made certain achievements in all fields of education and teaching. Mr. Bai Maqu Ji won the first prize of Excellence in the National "Hundred Chinese Teachers Competition"; In the national English competition, our students won the first, second and third prizes respectively; In the "small language literacy competition" organized by the regional education and sports bureau, our school and Zhou won the second and third place respectively; In the essay contest of "Chinese Dream, My Dream", our students won the first, second and third prizes, and our school won the "Excellent Organization Award". In the popularization week of 16, our students won the second place in the "Chinese classic reading contest"; Our school won the second prize in the primary and secondary school football competition in Linzhi area; This year's senior high school entrance examination, 38 students in our school reached the physical examination score line, and the number of students enrolled ranked first in the region.

Fourth, the existing problems

1. There is still a certain gap between the test-taking phenomenon caused by the pressure of entering a higher school and the requirements of quality education.

2. The evaluation of teachers and students is still based on grades, and the phenomenon of "taking exams" still exists.

Due to the pressure of continuing education, the burden of teachers and students is still very heavy.

4. There are still insufficient full-time teachers in music, physical education and beauty, which affects the teaching quality.

5. The number of teachers is insufficient. The implementation of refined management in our school has gradually raised the requirements for teachers and made teachers' work more detailed. 1-2 grade (also in grade 3), each teacher takes two main courses. Due to the long class time and large amount of homework, the requirements of "one unit, one test and one summary" quality monitoring and secondary correction of students' mistakes in the school cannot be realized. By increasing the number of teachers, only one teacher can teach one main course, so that teachers can have time and energy to implement the school's resolutions and a series of measures to improve the quality of education and teaching can be implemented.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Work arrangement for next year.

1, establish a "hand in hand" school. On the basis of this year's teaching exchange with Puti Road Primary School in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, we will sign a "hand in hand" agreement with this school next year to formally carry out long-term and effective education and teaching exchange activities.

2. Intensify the reform of teaching and research, refine the regulations on teaching and research management, and gradually standardize and institutionalize.

3. Reform the evaluation mechanism of teachers and students, don't judge the success or failure of teachers and students by their achievements, improve teachers' sense of accomplishment and professional happiness, and let students grow up healthily in an all-round way.

4. Broaden channels, continuously improve teachers' morality and make education full of love.

5. Continue to do a good job in school-based training and further improve the quality of education and teaching through internal drive.

6, continue to cultivate education as the starting point, cultivate students' good behavior habits and promote the development of moral education.

7. Improve and modify various systems, make them more scientific and reasonable, and better promote the development of all work.

Over the past year, through unremitting efforts, the teaching level and professional ethics of teachers in our school have not only improved; Students develop morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically, and the quality of teachers and students improves as a whole. In the future, we will continue to study, summarize and improve, so as to improve the educational system reform in our school. To this end, we will work together with Qi Xin to make continuous progress!
