Sunday, October 18

2:45pm - 4:00pm

1. Enhancing a sense of community through social media

Facilitator: Greg Wedman, Wild Rose School Division

Due to the size and breadth of rural school divisions, some stretching over many different

communities and large geographical areas, it can be difficult for people to understand the size

and complexity of a school division. Wild Rose School Division has been using social media to

tackle this challenge, sharing the great things that have been happening throughout the division

and at individual schools, creating a greater sense of community. This session will showcase the

triumphs and failures that the Wild Rose School Division has experienced and offer many tips

and ideas for schools or school districts who are considering a social media presence or want to

experience greater success. Workshop attendees are invited to share their experiences.

2. Cultural identity building- Details to come!

Facilitator: Ronald Boudreau

3. World Café: Advocacy and engagement

Facilitator: Kayla Tishcoff, Peel District School Board

Discover proven strategies and response tactics to help you communicate successfully during a

school crisis. Whether there’s a stranger incident, a student confrontation or a lockdown,

workshop participants will learn how to develop and share critical and time sensitive

information with school administrators, staff, parents and media. Participants will leave the

workshop with a crisis toolkit, including template materials, tips on working with key

stakeholders and emergency contacts, and strategies for using social media to gather and share

information.

2. Une historie de sang et de solidarité : Le 4 juin 2014 au N.-B

Facilitator: Steve Lapierre, District scolaire francophone Sud

Le 4 juin 2014, un tireur fou sème la terreur dans un quartier résidentiel de la paisible ville de Moncton, au Nouveau-Brunswick. Il abat froidement 3 policiers, dont un est le père d’élèves du District scolaire francophone Sud et en blesse deux autres. Plusieurs familles ont dû se barricader dans leur maison pendant de très longues heures avant que le suspect ne soit finalement arrêté. La vie doit péniblement reprendre son cours normal et les enfants doivent retourner à l’école dans les jours qui suivent. Regard sur la gestion d’une situation de crise, pendant et après les événements.

3. From anti-bullying to social justice: Evolution of Stand Up. Speak Out.

1. Be true to your school: Understanding and powerfully communicating

your district’s brand

Facilitator: Brian Woodland, Peel District School Board

You know what you want from a brand: authenticity, sincerity, consistency, but how does your

district do as a brand? Do people--parents, staff, and students--even know what you stand for

and believe in—besides teaching and learning? In this timely session, learn how to define your

brand, and be true to it in all you do—from issues management to events to publications to

social media and everything in between. Plus, how to protect the value of your brand when

things go wrong (and they will). Be true to your school, and you can gain a major competitive

advantage--and better serve your publics too.

2. La voix acadienne: Partager des histoires de l'école

Facilitator: Marcia Enman, directrice générale, La voix acadienne

Marcia Enman, directrice du journal La Voix acadienne, le seul journal français à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, parlera d’une entente qu’elle a développée avec la Commission scolaire de langue française de l’Île qui permet à la Commission scolaire de se servir du contenu du journal, incluant des photos, pour utiliser sur son site Web et sur sa page Facebook. La Commission scolaire achète le droit d’utilisation. Elle parlera également d’un projet qui est en développement pour le journal qui inclura la création de contenu qui pourrait aider le personnel enseignant dans la salle de classe. Le contenu sera créé en fonction des sujets adressés dans les salles de classe pour différents niveaux. Elle présentera le plan de redressement du journal qui prévoit optimiser les partenariats avec de nombreux intervenants publics et communautaires.
