Keynote 9:00-10:15

Dr. Sean LessardDr. Sean LessardRed Worn Runners: Exploring the Possibilities of Curriculum Making both In and Outside of School Places

Dr. Sean Lessard reflects on how earlier work alongside aboriginal youth in communities (Red Worn Runners) continues to shape his understandings of curriculum as a process that is fluid, transactional and filled with possibilities. It is through the narrative experiences alongside the Red Worn Runners that Lessard continues to draw on both philosophically and pragmatically in his research that explores identity and curriculum making both in and outside of school places. These places include communities across Western Canada where youth and families continue to guide this work. Dr. Sean Lessard is from Montreal Lake Cree Nation Treaty 6 territory. He is a published author, award winning researcher and assistant professor in the field of education and youth.

Dr. Lessard’s home community is the Montreal Lake Cree Nation of Northern Saskatchewan, but a non-Aboriginal rural family in North Battleford adopted him as a child. Frequent trips between both worlds allowed him to develop strong attachments to both communities, which shaped his sense of self. He came to realize that there isn’t one singular story of identity, which now makes up the heart of his research.

Dr. Lessard unpacks his personal experiences of place by teaching “sideways”, or narratively, using inquiry to provoke dialogue and counteract the strong stereotypes of Indigenous peoples that exist among many young teacher- candidates.

As co-founder of the Growing Young Movers Youth Program, Dr. Lessard is working alongside community as a pedagogical space. This program forms an inter-generational living space in North-Central Regina, integrating the teachings of Indigenous families and Elders to deliver wellness activities outside of school for Indigenous youth – many of whom are transitioning from Treaty home communities and experiencing many institutional challenges and barriers as they adjust to urban living. Six Indigenous high school students serve as mentors to the younger students while Dr. Lessard’s teacher-candidates challenge their assumptions and contribute their observations to the ongoing research each week during the school year. Changes made from their findings include the use of different teaching spaces and physical movement activities to foster an environment of positivity and inclusion.

#100 Smudge Ceremony Mike Maurice

Smudging is a spiritual way to cleanse a person, place or an object of negative energies, spirits or influences. The smudging ceremony involves the burning of special, sacred plants and herbal resins, then, either passing an object through the resulting smoke, or fanning the smoke around a person or place. Participants will participate in a smudge ceremony and discuss protocol of ceremonies.

#101 "250" Conversations Dr Sean Lessard

Dr. Sean Lessard explores his time spent developing targeted youth programming within urban and community school settings. "250" conversations was an intentional process within schools to connect and create conversational spaces for aboriginal youth and their families within a school system. The idea of "250" conversations has carried forward as many students he has worked with in the past continue to graduate from high schools and transition to both work and post-secondary settings. Keywords: transition, graduation, post-secondary, safe spaces, responsive school models

# 102 Introductions to SLN Storysacks Andrea Iron

#104 Getting it Right Success for Readers with FASD Dr. Linda Wason-Ellam

Literacy is critical to positive development and life adjustments for children with FetalAlcohol Spectrum Disorder. Multimodal literacies are a response to the sweeping changes in this school population, providing a framework that embraces cultural, linguistic, experiential, multimodal and technological diversity while at the same time advocating a social justice standpoint for all learners with FASD to have fair access to success. Drawing upon multimodal literacies, means that reading and writing will take on multiple variations for each learner when it comes to constructing meaning from their own point of view and their own experience. Classroom research integrating drawing during and after reading to create multimodal visuals for these struggling readers experiencing difficulty comprehending before reading, during reading, and after reading. Draw-talk-write-read stories integrate visual, writing and reading strategies that foster multiple opportunities for struggling readers to move fluidly between visual and textual literacies. Readers trans mediate when making meaning from images to texts or one symbol system to another. These readers visually represent or map comprehension before reading, during reading, and after reading through modes such as drawing, storyboards, story maps, concept maps, or digital pictures, which serve as memory pegs. Multimodal texts are a critical support in encoding ideas and images from texts into memory, making implicit comprehension more explicit. When struggling readers with FASD embrace visual literacies, they are able to elaborate on their self-created images through oral or textual modes and the more concrete the story becomes for them, the greater their comprehension and engagement in learning literacy.

#105 Literacy and Math in an Alternate School Ramona Washburn

Ramona and Warren Washburn teach a unique program at Ehpewapahk School in Maskwacis. This program includes wellness, life skills, and cultural components along with a Literacy and Numeracy program.

Warren will also share about Mathletics and some other strategies he uses in the classroom. CD printable resources will be available for purchase at $5/each.

#106 Creating a School Wide Metis Education Program at St. Michael Community School Cort Dogniez

Central Urban Metis Federation Incorporated (CUMFI) and the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools are in partnership to create a Metis Education Program at St. Michael’s Community School. The goal is to build capacity so that all teachers meaningfully include Metis content in their classroom programs and to see Metis ways encouraged through the school.

#200 Safety in the Workplace: From Lateral Violence to Lateral Kindness Greg Riehl

Lateral violence exists on a spectrum, from seemingly ordinary behavior such as gossiping or criticism, to intimidation, racism and outright physical intimidation or harm. Lateral violence cannot thrive when employers, co-workers, and team members become ethically and legally responsible. We do not accept bullying in our schools or other workplaces so why so we accept it or turn a blind eye within our teams? The concern is that lateral violence is happening or fostered at various levels and going on where we have learned to oppress one another and has become normal. Often, lateral violence is mind-set based on fear rather than respect. The goal of the presentation is to empower individuals to recognize lateral violence and intervene, through conflict resolution and to avoid unhealthy coping strategies. Having the conversation is what matters; it shows that everyone shares the responsibility for behaviour conversation and role models so they will be able to model behaviours to lead us into the future in a balanced and health way forward.

Healing has a long alliance with faith, belief, spirit, family support, the web of everyday life, and altered states of consciousness.

Friday April 29th, 2016 PIPE CEREMONY 8:00-8:30am

Greetings from Saskatchewan Teachers Federation 8:45 Saskatoon Inn Ballroom A&B

Keynote 9:00-10:15

Laurie DavisLaurie Davis

Davis was a public school teacher and administrator until she retired after a 15-year career in 1984. Since then she has been self-employed and has built her company by creating programs and services to support the building of self-worth, self-confidence, and communication. Davis says she is not a counselor or a psychologist, but a person who provides educational workshops that have been designed to specifically support personal and professional growth.Self-worth is something she says is critical and essential because it is from our personal level of self-worth that we make all of our decisions.“It affects our health, our finances, and our relationships,” Davis says. “When we have low self-worth we traditionally don’t think that we deserve much, so it’s directly linked to what it is we think we deserve, and it’s a totally different concept than self-confidence. Confidence is about taking risks and the ability to do thing. Our level of self-worth is usually determined by the time we hit school. Between (the ages of) three and five we’ve already made some decisions about our level of value, and so from that, all aspects of our life are affected.”As to whether or not she has seen a general decline in levels of self-worth since she started her business, Davis says there has been a rise in teenage suicides and suicides in general. When she first started talking about self-worth most people did not know what she was talking about, and she left the school system before terms like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) started being used.“At the time when I was teaching I didn’t recognize it (low self-worth), I didn’t know what that was or what it meant, so I don’t know that it’s on the rise per say, I would say it’s pretty rampant though, especially among our youth,” Davis said. “When you look at the number of youth who are having bouts of anxiety, depression, not feeling safe, not feeling good enough, not feeling smart enough, these are all symptoms of low self-worth.”

#604 Cultural in the Classroom Clayton Sutherland

Teaching culture in the classroom is part of the Seven Rights that the Creator gave our people - the right to pass on our culture to our youth.  Culture is taught in the classroom according to the beliefs of that particular First Nation, each of which has their own protocols and procedures for cultural events.  To teach culture in the classroom, we do so in a humble manner and do so the best way we know how.  We have been teaching culture in the classroom at our Beardy's and Okemasis First Nation schools for many years.  Each classroom is taken on a one day Cultural Camp.   I will explain how this is done, and give you tips on how to incorporate culture in your classroom.  Question and answers time will follow.  

#605 Goodbye Stress. Hello Life! This is YOUR Journey Allan Kehler

The profession of teaching comes with a seemingly endless list of demands. This chosen career combined with life itself will naturally bring challenges and stress, but the key is moving forward so that it doesn’t impact other areas of your life. Drawing from personal and professional experiences, Allan provides direction that inspires individuals to persevere through their personal challenges rather than avoid or escape them. He challenges people to take an honest look at what lies beneath their pain, and provides the tools to heal through a holistic approach. Allan motivates people to regain control of self, and return to the journey that they were meant to lead. When both teachers and students are able to manage their stress effectively, it creates a more effective environment for learning to take place. Learner Outcomes: Create a classroom environment that identifies and combats stress Understand the relationship between chronic stress and physical/psychological

problems Explore the relationship between performance and stress Provide support and expertise with respect to managing students who are

experiencing personal challenges Navigate through various handouts and activities that can be used in both the

classroom setting and at home.
