Presenters: Carolyn Steele, Rosanna Chowdhury, Ameera Ali, Geneviève Maheux-Pelletier, Tamara Kelly ABSTRACT Lizzio’s Five Senses of Student Success (2006) provides a framework for understanding and responding to the needs of students as they navigate their transition to and through higher education. To feel that they belong to the academic culture, they need to feel capable, connected, resourceful, and purposeful. For the last two years, developing these senses has been a difficult journey for students joining university amidst a pandemic. Their physical and mental health, and their family’s, has been affected by the virus itself, school closures, pivoting to remote learning, and social distancing in ways that we are just starting to understand (see, for example, Holm-Hadulla et al. 2021). It seems to us that their pathways to success is rendered cumbersome, if possible at all, when their sense of well-being isn’t attended to. In this panel discussion, the presenters will share the insights they have gained over the last two years both in their role (instructor, post-doctoral visitor, and staff supporting student success / teaching and learning) and as they met to discuss their observations and interrogate the literature to better understand the challenges, academic and otherwise, students have experienced since the beginning of the pandemic. This panel is part of a larger group, the Research and Innovation in Teaching and Learning Subcommittee struck by the Associate Deans Teaching and Learning Council in 2018. Our goal is to raise awareness about what students have faced and continue to experience and discuss different pedagogical strategies that can be implemented to bring flexibility into our teaching to help students navigate academic demands and complex lives.

Indigenous Education: Teaching and Learning in Place Presenters: Susan D Dion, Tanya Senk, & John Waaseyaabin Hupfield BIOGRAPHY Susan D. Dion is a Potawatomi-Lenape scholar who has been working in the field of education for more than thirty years. Associate Vice President Indigenous Initiatives and Professor in the Faculty of Education at York University her research focuses on Indigenizing, Decolonizing and Realizing Indigenous Education, and Urban Indigenous Education. Dion works in collaboration with the Toronto District School Board Indigenous Education Centre on research and program development. She is widely consulted by diverse community groups, workplaces, and institutions on developing methods for building more equitable, respectful relationships between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people. John Waaseyaabin Hupfield is Anishinaabe and an emerging scholar in the field of Indigenous Education and Pedagogy. He has been teaching and learning within Indigenous community contexts since childhood. PhD candidate at York University, John’s research into jiingtamok (powwow) and Anishinaabe pedagogies is centred in his experiences as a grass dancer, father/uncle, and partner on the powwow trail. Tanya Senk is a Métis/Cree/Saulteaux educator, artist, and community leader who has been working in the field of education for over twenty five years. She is currently the first System Superintendent of Indigenous Education and Kapapamahchakwew / Wandering Spirit School, K-12, with the Toronto District School Board. As a PhD candidate, her research focuses on Urban Indigenous Education. ABSTRACT Our interest in Indigenous Pedagogy is motivated by deep commitments to improving Indigenous students’ experiences in school. Theories of place (Coultard, 2014; Goeman, 2008) resurgence (Simpson, 2017) and story (Archibald, 2008; Momaday 1989, Heath Justice,2018; Blazer,1999) complicate and illuminate our understanding of Indigenous Education. Drawing on our experiences teaching, learning and parenting in urban contexts we identify and describe the significance of knowledge, community, cultural practice and physical presence to creating an Indigenous Teaching and Learning Place.
