This document discusses the power of relationships and shared stories through social media. It advocates connecting with other educators through platforms like Twitter to form a personal learning network. By sharing ideas, stories, and moments online, educators can bring people together, find inspiration from others, and harness the power of a global community to become better connected learners and leaders who are changing education from the ground up. The document encourages readers to start connecting on social media and sharing on a deeper level.
Leadership: a body without a head, a web without a spidermore like people
As usual, some of these slides will mean nothing if you're not hearing me narrate and ask questions along the way, but this was a Birkbeck College session about thinking of leadership as a collective, rather than individual concept. Bits of complexity, social media and self-organised networks stuff in there too... and Slideshare didn't like some of my fonts... c'est la vie!
Presented at CPA Congress Vic, 11 Oct 2010.
Topics:
Trust and openness, the new paradigm for engagement
The importance of people and personality
Evaluating the benefits, risks and challenges
Existing channels and new strategies
Practical examples of social media

Motivation From Within - Moving Away From Points, Prizes, and Pizza PartiesChris Wejr
Feburary 2015 workshop for educators in the Fort Nelson School District.
"The vast majority of our students enter our schools in kindergarten with high motivation to learn but as they progress up through the grades, motivation and engagement tends to fade. Due to the many challenges facing our schools, educators often resort to a variety of incentives to try to motivate students to learn and behave to help create the optimal learning environment. This session will challenge participants to rethink the use of incentives and encourage them to look at ways to create the conditions for students to motivate themselves. The following will be discussed:
the long term issues that can be caused by incentives/rewards
ideas to create the conditions for long term (more intrinsic) motivation
how short term punishments can create further behaviour problems with students
how behaviour is often a result of an unmet need or lagging skill
Participants will be challenged reflect upon their current views of student motivation and come away with ideas and strategies to move toward more intrinsic motivation in their classrooms and schools."

Motivation From Within: Moving Beyond Rewards and Awards in SchoolsChris Wejr
Keynote presentation given to educators at the 2017 Central Alberta Teachers Convention.
The vast majority of our students enter our schools in kindergarten with high motivation to learn but as they progress up through the grades, motivation and engagement tends to fade. Due to the many challenges facing our schools, educators often resort to a variety of incentives to try to motivate students to learn and improve behaviour to help create the optimal learning environment. Schools also try to encourage students to excel by offering certificates, plaques, and trophies to those who do better than others. The use of rewards can become part of a school culture and awards are generally steeped in tradition… but what if we have this extrinsic motivation strategy all wrong? What if these tactics work in the short term but cause problems in the long term? What if there are students that go through our schools with strengths that are not valued nor honoured? Is there a better way to create the conditions for long-term motivation? Is there a way to move away from awards so more students are honoured, more students feel connected, and there is a more positive, inclusive school culture?

Start With Strengths - Canadian Association of Principals 2015Chris Wejr
Workshop facilitated at the 2015 Canadian Association of Principals conference in Whistler, BC.
This session focused on the WHY of strength-based education and how using this lens can change the stories of students. It also included discussions and ideas on how to determine the strengths of our students as well as ways to bring the strengths of our students into our schools.
Shifting to a Strength-Based Culture in SchoolsChris Wejr
If the keynote session focused on WHY we need to shift our lens to a strength-based approach in schools, this breakout session will focus on the HOW and WHAT of this shift. The following topics will be discussed:
- how to determine the strengths of our students and staff
ideas to move to a strength-based model in schools
- ways to honour and recognize the strengths of our students
moving from MY students to OUR students
- school-wide activities that build on the strengths of students and staff
- providing opportunities for collaboration and leadership in areas of strength
The session is designed for educators that want to create change beyond their classroom walls; participants will walk away with practical ideas that can start an immediate shift to a strength-based culture in their school.
Developing confident learners is often stated as a goal for schools and educators, yet students continually enter our classrooms with low confidence and on a “losing streak” in school. This session will help participants to learn more about shifting to a strength-based approach in our classrooms and to look at the power of assessment in developing student confidence. Participants will have the opportunity to:
- discuss ideas and strategies to increase engagement through creating space for student strengths and interests in the classroom
- reflect upon aspects of assessment practice and how these can build or tear down confidence
- discuss ways to tap into the strengths of students beyond our classroom walls
This session is designed for educators who want to reflect on their current practice so that they can create change that benefits students within their classes; participants will walk away with reflections as well as strategies and ideas that can be immediately implemented in their classrooms.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Editor's Notes
STORIES – Chris Kennedy – what stories of education are being heard?Share, steal ideas, growShare stories of my journey into connected leadership Focus on the WHY we need to connect and collaborate with othersHow to do this.Saddest part about these past 2+ days… so many people will not see this work. SHARE
Currently principal of K-6 elemschol. Father of twin toddlers. Went to UVIC – B. Ed. Taught at Brookswood in Langley for 7 years – taught just like everyone else… until my masters at UBCStarted to realize power of networking, collab and reflection– cohort group, Started as VP at Kent in AgassizFurther networking through BCELC but mostly face to face/email, Principal in 2009 and that is where my journey with Social Media began.
DISCUSS Who is telling the stories? What are the stories being told?Focus for today – connect. Relationships, stories, learning.For me – thru master’s and BCELC, became a need to collaborate and challenge/be challeged
Feb 2009, met with KyeOnline marketing strategy for my wife’s businessIntro’d Twitter and FB PageI could see the Facebook Page but Twitter?
I created two ways to try to get information to parents and share great things happening at our school.Big risk – putting myself out there with FB page – perk of the small district I am in – autonomy to take risksFB was an immediate hit – but heavily moderated. No major issuesTwitter notsomuch but then started to connect with educators – reading blogs, etc
Invited to blog at Connected Principals – started to expand my network and become closer with other adminAsked to present online – presented on parent engagementMostly cross-postsConnectedprincipals.com and #cpchat – connections formed through CP have developed into friendships and people I confide in
I get to ‘see’ what is happening in schools across the globe. Ask questions and get so many views. All this is IN ADDITION to my school and district.GLOBAL connection also strengthens my local connections My network continues to grow but it is important to keep those key relationships close.
Edcamps, Conference experiences, keynotes,etc
Dive deeper into the important question of Why – will never do the how and the what without the whySocial beings, relationships. learning
Story to share the power of social media…How I was introduced to the story of Lilee.How the story has reached a community… and beyond using SM.Fundraisers, support
Releases song PrayPromoted through SMReaches #1 on iTunes ahead of Nickelback, Rhianna, etcChallenges Nickelback ---- Nickelback donates $50,000 to Children’s hospital
You have the power to create your own positive footprint. What does your footprint look like? Why is this important? Jobs for teachersStart small… twitter and a place to store/share your thoughts (posterous is an easy one)
Continue the conversations in your M.Ed Programs… and then include others.Connect beyond the world of education.
Too big to know
CONNECT – form relationships.Educators, parents, students… everyone.
How do good ideas grow? Coffee house of the present era.
Accessibility is far greater now
As you engage in this dialogue… you will see the transfer to different avenues of communication. Stronger more personal relationshipsGeorge, Cale, Brian, Darcy
WHO IS SHARING THE STORIES IN YOUR SCHOOL/CLASS?
Think about your work in your M.Ed program… do you want to see it impacting change beyond this weekend and beyond your class/schools?
2011 Learning and networkingwith other educators has provided me with great ideas to share and propose to staffIdentity Day
Share stories that connect with peopleHuge shift in my teaching/leading– strength vs deficit thinkingDom’s teacher showed it to him – he commented.
Its not social media that is changing ed – it is the people.No longer are there pockets of isolated brilliance – this can now be shared. Ripple effectSpreading of ideas… and improving on them. Colliding hunches. Sharing and exploring the WHY of education reform – parents, teachers, students.Not about public vs private or schools competing with each other – share ideas and watch em grow
Lencioni – must be challenged to become betterInnovator’s DNA– Seek intellectual collisionsSome people are not so good with this – a learned skill.0:35
Also posts on my mom, dad, kids…Connect with people in a more personal way.Andrew – see commentsOzzy – connect with others who have gone through a similar stuggle
What is your social media strategy?Why are you sharing ideas?Is it all about YOUR ideas or conversation around ideas?Is it all about YOUR stories or the stories of others?
We are social beings – most (not all) want to connect
Sharing out story – providing ways for parents to “see” inside our school.Trust that it will be ok. Moving from culture of fear to a culture of trust. Modeling effective use of social mediaMeet people where they are.Newsletter – 10 good things – paper to blog to email, FB, Twitter
Story of @garriochRead parts of blog
Can be a lonely profession – social media can connect with people in the same building, community as well as throughout the world.
It is about finding quality connections rather than numbers… used hashtags to reach wider audience. Build your network over time.Can you have deeper learning via Twitter? No but the relationships built from then create more opps for these conv in different venues.EFFORT IN = REWARD OUT
Again – share your stories of your learning in the M.Ed program or at your school… create further dialogue.OR share what is happening in your classrooms. How will parent s understand that school is different if they never see in?Share the WHY.
Share the stories of your class/school.Let people “in”. How will parent s understand that school is deifferent if they never see in?
RELATIONSHIPSSTORIESGo beyond the world of education to lead change.
