Vigorously promoting the spirit of educators and cultivating educator-type teachers is an inevitable requirement for consolidating the foundation of a powerful education nation through a high-quality and professional teaching workforce. The spirit of educators represents a profound condensation and sublimation of teachers’ original aspiration of nurturing people and professional mission. It clearly delineates how teachers can become “educators” and what qualities define such “types” from six dimensions—ideological convictions, moral integrity, educational wisdom, diligent dedication, benevolent compassion, and pursuit of upholding Dao—providing theoretical guidance and practical wisdom for cultivating educator-type teachers. Rooted in teachers’ practice and guiding teaching activities, promoting and practicing the spirit of educators essentially constitutes the realistic process of fostering educator-type teachers. From the triple perspectives of cultural identity, ideological guidance, and national rejuvenation mission, cultivating educator-type teachers through the spirit of educators is an inherent requirement for adapting to the inheritance and development of educational culture, an inherent part of advancing Marxist educational thought, and an internal demand for consolidating the spiritual support of the teaching workforce. It clarifies three core traits of educator-type teachers: the ability to impart knowledge and enlightenment, the conduct of setting an example, and the responsibility of contributing to national governance—specifically, forging the “backbone” of teaching competence, embodying the “personhood” of benevolence and virtue, and manifesting the “soul” of family and country. To cultivate educator-type teachers, efforts should focus on creating a sound growth environment, awakening teachers’ self-awareness of development, and engaging in teaching practice. These measures will continuously stimulate their sustained momentum for growth, internal driving force for self-improvement, and enduring vitality for professional advancement.
