Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

Russell had originally planned to talk to the four deans one by one.

He originally planned to find Snape first, but he didn't expect McGonagall to come to him on his own.

But it was a good thing that Professor McGonagall came to him first. Among the four deans of Hogwarts, McGonagall was undoubtedly the most competent and responsible one.

Flitwick is a bit detached from the world, Professor Sprout is a bit too good-natured.

As for Snape, although he was Russell's dean at Hogwarts, he had to tell the truth that as a professor or teacher, Snape was simply too incompetent.

His teaching methods are boring and rude. He likes to treat Slytherin students differently from students in other houses. He especially likes to target students he doesn't like.

An almost 40-year-old man often quarreled and tit-for-tat with teenage children, and even created psychological shadows for many young wizards.

Neville Longbottom once regarded Snape as a psychological shadow, and his fear of him exceeded everything else, even more terrifying than the dementors.

All this cannot be washed away by deep affection.

Professor McGonagall is Russell's favorite kind of teacher. He is serious and responsible. Even if the Slytherin students perform well, they are not stingy with extra points.

Although it hurts to see a Gryffindor student make a mistake and have points deducted, he never shows mercy.

In addition, Professor McGonagall is also the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts.

In view of Dumbledore's consistent fishing behavior in the position of principal, Professor McGonagall is actually the general person in charge of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for decades.

Dumbledore is more like a mascot or reassurance than McGonagall.

This is also the reason why Russell did not directly hand over work to Dumbledore. In terms of school management, Professor McGonagall still has the final say.

And if he wants to implement education reform at Hogwarts, he must start with McGonagall.

For example, this time, Mag brought him the report cards of all students in the school except the first grade.

As Russell watched, he classified these people into categories according to his own standards.

Percy Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Cedric Diggory belong to an extremely outstanding level.

Katie Bell, Decorah Malfoy, belong to the good level.

Harry, Hannah Abbott, the Weasley twins, and Qiu Zhang belong to the ordinary level.

Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, and Ron Weasley are at a level with great potential.

And Neville Longbottom is one of those wizards whose potential is limited to the sky.

Russell plans to provide more detailed and targeted tutoring to different students based on their foundation in the future.

Of course, you can't just look at the academic performance. Magic is a subject that requires very high practice.

Many young wizards may not perform very well in exams, but in actual operations, especially during duels, they can perform beyond their level many times.

The representative figure is Harry. No matter whether you are eating a big melon or cutting out the bones, I will kill you with one shot.

This is the trick to deal with minions like Malfoy. Even if Voldemort comes, this is the trick, but it always achieves miraculous results.

In this regard, Russell also found a dueling path that suited him after graduation. After he learned many fifth-level spells and even some sixth-level spells, a new spell also had certain prospects.

This is also thanks to the fact that he often goes to places like Knockturn Alley to give lessons to some dark wizards.

After all, teaching and learning are mutually beneficial.

......

While flipping through the raw data, Russell quickly compiled and sorted the data.

This is a habit left over from his previous life of running a company. Although the original data is comprehensive, it is always confusing and unintuitive. Only data that has been rationalized and statistically made meaningful.

Professor McGonagall on the side was listening to Russell introducing his educational philosophy while watching Russell perform statistical work.

In the afternoon, the elf Illidan brought them afternoon tea and some snacks.

The scene calmed down a bit, and Russell asked a question.

"Study committee member? What is that?" Mag was a little confused about this brand new word that came out of Russell's mouth.

"I want to find a few representatives. They must have excellent academic performance and be enough to become role models for ordinary wizards. Then I will ask them to assist me in implementing some work related to study."

After Russell finished speaking, he added: "I will give them additional teaching."

Professor McGonagall somewhat understood that Russell wanted to establish some outstanding students and then use them as examples to inspire all students.

"It is indeed a standard Slytherin approach, full of manipulation of power and people's hearts."

Mag's face became a little stern, and then he said: "I don't think this will be effective."

"No, this has a great effect. I decided to set up a principal's club and invite all students to participate. According to their grades, they are divided into three classes and hold one or two activities every night.

These study committee members will be the main persons in charge of these activities. "

Professor McGonagall nodded. Although she had never heard of a principal's club, Hogwarts did have a tradition of professors opening clubs.

For example, Slughorn, the Potions professor before Snape took over, founded the Slug Club, and Lockhart, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year, also came to her and tried to start a dueling club.

And she actually founded a high-end transfiguration club to teach some outstanding young wizards some transfiguration techniques and spells that cannot be learned in the classroom.

Russell's request was completely in line with the tradition of Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall asked: "What are your requirements for that study committee member."

Russell stated several requirements that he had thought about in advance: "First of all, you must have excellent academic performance, secondly, you must have a deep desire to learn, and thirdly, you must like to help others, even if you become a troublemaker. It doesn’t matter if you plant it.”

The three things Russell mentioned were what he had thought about in advance in order to find the most suitable communication students.

Professor McGonagall quickly thought of suitable students in her mind and finally named three names: "Hermione Granger, Percy Weasley and Cedric Diggory."

Professor McGonagall then explained the reason why she recommended these three people. In addition to meeting the requirements, it was also because their grades were just right.

Hermione is in second grade, Cedric is in fifth grade, and Percy is in sixth grade. If Russell wants his club to cover the whole school, it is very necessary to select students from different grades as study committee members.
