Contemporary Value and Guarantee of Cross-boundary School Running by Professor-titled Principals
Appointment of professors in the school of education as principals of affiliated schools to normal universities highly reflects the features of normal education.In the 21st century,the tradition of profes-sor-titled principals has been endowed with contemporary value:promoting the high-quality and balanced de-velopment of basic education with the spirit of universities;leading the practical reform of primary and second-ary schools with academic rationality;and improving the quality of teacher education through the interaction of theory and reality.In the future,it is necessary to normalize the appointment of university professors as princi-pals of primary and secondary schools,establish a long-term mechanism,and ensure cross-boundary school running and role transition of university professors.In addition,difficulties of cross-boundary cooperation should be dealt with directly in solving the cultural and role conflicts.
