Parenting Wishes - Hopes and Dreams for my Kids' SchoolingChris Kennedy
22 slides•8.9K views
Chris Kennedy, superintendent of the West Vancouver School District, shares his hopes and dreams for how schooling can be improved. He hopes that schools will focus on transformation, inquiry, and personalization so that students are connected to their teachers and classmates. Kennedy also hopes that homework has a clear purpose in supporting learning rather than being busy work, and that schools delay rankings and sorting in favor of focusing on student learning. The overall goal is for schools to take good care of students and create memorable learning experiences for all children.
This document discusses the role of change agents and leadership. It describes change agents as people who act as catalysts to manage change. It lists the skills required for change agents, such as being able to sense the business environment and maximize information flow. It then discusses the concepts of Level 5 Leadership from the book "Good to Great", where Level 5 leaders channel their ego away from themselves and into building a great company. The rest of the document outlines the key concepts from "Good to Great" that led to breakthrough results, including getting the right people first, confronting brutal facts, having a hedgehog concept, creating a culture of discipline, using technology accelerators, and pushing the flywheel of success through consistent efforts over time.
Many of us in government want to change the way our agencies work. These changes can take many forms. Some of us may want to fix a process or change/eliminate counterproductive rules. Others may wish to shoot for more ambitious goals that require a change of culture. The current push to expand the use of collaboration tools like Web 2.0 technologies is one example of a big and important culture change.Effecting change in a large organization is difficult. Those difficulties can be magnified greatly in the public sector. Entrenched rules and structures pose many obstacles. Resource limitations often seem to be the things in greatest abundance. And the possibility of criticism from senior bosses, Congress and the media tends to make many managers risk averse.So how does one overcome all these obstacles to bring about significant positive change? Here is the 12 step guide.
Change agents are people who influence organizational change through their own actions and by influencing others. They can be internal or external to the organization and help develop and implement the steps needed to realize a vision for change. Effective change agents possess skills like resilience, insight, and a strong sense of identity and direction. They are credible, enthusiastic catalysts for change initiatives.

See the 'notes on slides' for presentation suggestions.
The document discusses 5 types of leaders who are prone to becoming derailed: imposters, rationalizers, glory seekers, loners, and shooting stars. Imposters lack self-awareness and see underlings as threats. Rationalizers blame others instead of accepting responsibility. Glory seekers are motivated by fame over building lasting organizations. Loners fail to create support systems. Shooting stars' lives revolve around their careers and they don't learn from mistakes. All 5 see themselves as heroes but true leadership means empowering others, not just personal success. Leaders must avoid these pitfalls to stay grounded and elicit the best performance from their teams.

As more and more people are coming to realize, there is far more to living a truly successful life than just earning a bigger salary and capturing a corner office. Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success - money and power - has led to an epidemic of burnout and stress-related illnesses, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, family life, and, ironically, our careers. In being connected to the world 24/7, we're losing our connection to what truly matters.
Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, I show us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplace, and our lives.

Exploring the role of the change agent slideshareChangefirst
11 slides•8.3K views
The document summarizes the results of a survey of 212 change agents about their roles and responsibilities. It found that the top challenges they face are influencing others and walking the talk to role model desired behaviors. While influencing others is most important, change agents reported needing more skills in coaching and building active sponsorship from executives. There is on average a 25% gap between the importance of different change management dimensions and agents' skill levels in those areas.
The document discusses the role of change agents and the characteristics and steps they should employ to successfully implement change. It defines a change agent as someone who can affect how an organization responds to change. Effective change agents have good communication and leadership skills, motivate others, and are confident in their ability to implement change. Key steps change agents should take include identifying and managing stakeholders, setting clear objectives, planning the change process, and recognizing and planning for potential resistance. The document will be used to write a chapter critically analyzing the characteristics of an effective change agent.
This document discusses resistance to organizational change. It defines resistance to change and describes the types of resistance including blind, political, and ideological resistance. It then discusses the rationale for resistance, sources of resistance at the individual and organizational level, causes of resistance, and stages of resistance. The document also notes some benefits of resistance and describes ways to reduce resistance through communication, participation, support, and addressing personal concerns. It provides strategies for overcoming resistance and making change permanent through leadership, rewards, and employee concern.

FACILITATING TEACHER PARTNERSHIPS FOR CROSS-CLASSROOM COLLABORATIONBen Hazzard
139 slides•2.3K views
Collaboration between classrooms, in a digital environment, was explored using the self-identifiers of connectivity, constructivism, and collaborative comforts to partner teachers. The research question investigated was, how might emerging research on connectivity, constructivism and collaboration within the digital environment inform the design of an interactive website that enhances the ways in which teachers are able to collaborate with colleagues around the world based on the development of a more complex partnering system? The Design as Education Research Framework was used to implement the ‘design as research’ method and resulted in the design of the research object, an interactive website, TeachersConnecting.com. Multiple data sources that informed the design process were: the research object, a development journal, feedback from a development panel, and academic literature in the field. Reflection via a virtual convener, practical applications of connectivism and constructivism, as well as the impact of a development panel on ‘design as research’ were described. Cross-classroom collaboration projects were organized into a matrix that was developed based on the comforts.
Wearable Technology for Administrators: A Principal’s Nike Fuelband ExperimentBen Hazzard
5 slides•814 views
Over the past 2 school years, an elementary school principal has been using a Nike Fuelband to track his daily activity levels and become a more visible leader in the school. The principal set goals to be out of his office and interacting with students, teachers, and parents each day. By wearing the activity tracker and sharing his progress, the principal aimed to lead by example and hold himself accountable for engaging with the school community. The Fuelband helped the principal quantify and reflect on how active he was during the school day and identify times he could improve. While the device alone did not make him a better principal, it supported and motivated him to achieve his goals of being a visible and engaged presence throughout the school.
The document is a collection of Flickr image links and a quote attributed to Lawrence of Arabia. The quote advises that it is better to allow others to complete a task imperfectly if it is their responsibility, as one's own time is limited. A final link to a Flickr image of a pumpkin is included.
This central concept was 'unpacked' using SMARTBoards, iPod Touches, and Digital Video Cameras to explain how teachers can bring deeper thinking and richer learning all while Doing It Yourself.
This document discusses cross-classroom collaboration and finding the right partner based on comfort levels with technology, teaching styles, and experience collaborating. It provides questions to help teachers assess their comfort levels in these areas and match with appropriate partners and projects. The document also lists potential partners and tools to enable cross-classroom collaboration projects.
Year End Ideas for Classrooms & SchoolsBen Hazzard
10 slides•2.4K views
The document provides a collection of end-of-year ideas from teachers, including having students write appreciation letters, create videos of the school year, fill out a teacher evaluation form, write letters to their future selves, create digital portraits, film and edit class trip videos, tell how tablets were used and what they want to do next year, make a movie about literature circles, compile photos and videos for DVDs and assemblies, create yearbooks using Wordle to list what they learned, write "survival tips" for the next class, create DVDs with photos of the year for each student, make "top ten lists" of highlights and learnings, and use Voice Threads to discuss what they will remember learning that
This document summarizes a literacy pilot day which included:
1) Teachers reflecting on their students' progress in the previous unit and assessing their skills
2) Reviewing the components and timeline of previous units to reach a consensus on how much time each element requires
3) Dividing into grade-level groups to plan the next unit, including considering reading-writing connections and selecting an introduction activity to do with the group
4) Presenting their unit plans and next steps which included online resources for the literacy program

Cyber Bullying Legal Ramifications for Ontario PrincipalsBen Hazzard
23 slides•842 views
The document discusses the legal implications of cyber bullying for principals, examining cases where students and teachers engaged in online speech targeting administrators and teachers which resulted in suspensions or other disciplinary actions. It also outlines a seminal court case, Killion v. Franklin Regional School District, where a student was suspended for creating an offensive email about a staff member that was distributed by others, and the timeline of legal actions taken in response. Principals must consider how online speech, both by students and staff, could impact the school environment and when disciplinary action may be warranted.
The document discusses key aspects of leading with kindness. It covers big ideas like the Golden Rule, having high expectations, and the importance of truth. It also discusses what kind leaders do like helping others grow, being clear about objectives, and focusing on personal connections rather than charisma. Traits of kind leaders are discussed as well, including compassion, integrity, and humility. The document stresses that leaders should serve as examples and prepare the next generation of leaders by building their self-confidence, awareness, and determination.
The document outlines 10 ways for teachers to use a SMARTBoard in their classroom. It suggests focusing students' attention with the board but not using it as the central lesson focus. Other tips include annotating thoughts on any content shown on the board, videoconferencing with other classrooms, modeling skills, sharing content with students and parents, and having students create their own notebook files on the board. The document discourages using the board only as a whiteboard, screen, PowerPoint display, or teacher-only tool and provides alternative interactive techniques.

REiki- Yoga
We are all energy.
We host the same powers.
We can declare, demand, delete anything we want. We are programmed to not understand this Power.
Beyond Metaphysics:
My world has expanded to Yoga Fitness than therapy, Basic Feng Shui, Fusing Qigong, and Recently Regrouping with Reiki as a Practitioner Master. All branches are Energy Medicine. They are ways of Healing the Mind, Body, Soul, and Heart. Our bodies are energy Temples. We misunderstand the term Temple.
(See Presentation for all sections)
Starting Your Daily Practice:
Both Reiki and Yoga are effortless, ebb flow practices. The fusion does work, therapy wonders. Session Times will vary. For Example: Using a few minutes, 30 mins, to hours of Reiki Yoga can be applied. I would start small? Try to build your practice slowly. There’s no rush. Poses Include Laying Down or sitting within Meditation….
(See Presentation for all sections)
Benefits of: Nature / Deep Breathing...
This may sound simple or basic. But, don’t forget to enjoy fresh air from your doors, windows, yard, taking walks, or even the local park. It does aid the healing process and any meditation style. Also, any breathing method used will assist both your Reiki and Yoga. (They work together nicely as a team or partnership.) The body refreshes instantly. It helps with calming down and relaxing.

This dynasty made a successful effort to re-establish the political unity of northern India which was shattered after the death of Harsha. Its mighty kings kept most of northern India under their control for a long time. Not only this, for a long time it stopped the Muslim power advancing from Sindh Pradesh and did not allow its expansion in northern India. Along with being a great conqueror, the Pratihara kings were great literature lovers, art lovers and religious people. As a result, Indian culture progressed greatly during their rule.
