I have spent my career working with students as a high school physical education, math, and science teacher, an intermediate teacher, an elementary vice-principal, and a high school volleyball, rugby, track, and basketball coach.
I am a husband to a wonderful wife who runs her own dance studio; I am a proud father of twin girls and a son.
Why “The Wejr Board”? Growing up, people often made fun of my last name (pronounced Weej-er) and one of them was Weejee (Ouija) Board… which then transformed into Wejr Board… now, one of my passions is discussing the ‘future’ of education so why not use the Wejr Board to do this?
I look forward to participating in the conversations that arise from this blog. If you agree or disagree with my blogs, please leave comments as this keeps the dialogue going and encourages more learning for me.

Chris,
A parent on our school PAC forwarded your blog to us so that we could see Identity Day. Oddly enough I had just assigned a similar project last week. You taught my twin boys Gr. 8 math in 2005-2006 at Brookswood. They still describe you as one of the best teachers they ever had. I keep hoping you’ll come back to Langley. We are expecting lots of admin. retirements soon.

Wow… thank you so much, Carol, for taking the time to stop by. I remember your boys well – great to have had the privilege of working with them! If you ever need help with Identity Day, be sure to let me know. Also, I would be interested in hearing more about the similar project at your school! Hope that our paths cross in the near future!
Excellent post Chris. Refreshing to see a BC principal taking on policy issues. This is true educational leadership.
http://connectedprincipals.com/archives/11558 found this and realized how much value this content could add to our ESOL program here https://wyischina.com/ as we serve cultural and linguistic diversity. Thanks for your work!
Love your post regarding the “Four Posts of Positive Staff Culture.” We would love to reprint this in our monthly newsletter – may we have permission to do so – with, of course, source reference to your blog? Please advise.
Hey Jo Ann. I would be honoured. Please let me know how I can grab a digital or paper copy when it’s published. Thank you for sharing our school’s positive experience.
Thank you Chris – it will appear in our June Newsletter. You can access a copy at: http://www.childconnectmi.org

La Mer’s studies on circadian-based skin care is born of
the brand’s focus on the skin’s inherent functions.
Taking cues from the body’s natural clock, the circadian rhythm,
La Mer researched how skin alters its behavior during day and night cycles.
The skin, much like other parts of the body, adheres to a full-day schedule, with daytime needs
for defense against environmental factors, and during the night, when it enters a phase of repair and regeneration.
This knowledge drove La Mer’s skincare innovations that work in harmony with the skin’s natural
rhythm. Their range supports skin defense by day and rejuvenation by night, improving self-rejuvenation processes.
This strategy is showcased in their Genaissance de la Mer line,
which features components and advanced methods that encourage nighttime skin repair.
By integrating circadian cycles into their formulations,
La Mer boosts defense and repair for better, luminous skin.
