C-team won a thriller last night, 6-5, over rival SLUH - twice over-coming 2 goal deficits. Goal scorers were Rasmussen (2), Erker, Perales, Nieters, and Watkins scored the game-winner. Kevin Jeffries got the victory in goal. #rollspartans @DeSmetJesuitHS

@MsSMath I read a book, go for a run or spend time with my family- not necessarily in that order! 😉

[Jennifer Erker @jennifer_erker]

Thank you to my LU classmates for a great semester! I've enjoyed learning alongside you all and look forward to continuing to grow and learn through our PLNs. Have a wonderful summer!! #LULearns

Great conversation tonight on implicit bias with #HackLearning. A lot of great insight and ideas on how to address biases in our teaching, with our colleagues and with our students. #LULearns

[Connie Hamilton, Author/Consultant (she/her) @conniehamilton]

We have to be willing to look for unintended bias. Just because you didn't "mean to be" doesn't mean your comments or actions are not biased. Perception in this case matters more than intent. #HackLearning

[Jennifer Erker @jennifer_erker]

Thank you @MsKHarmon and #HackLearning for the great conversation on such an important topic. #LULearns

A3: Again, I think it comes back to building strong relationships with our students and creating a classroom that is a safe place for our students to ask questions and not feel judged or ridiculed.

[Jennifer Erker @jennifer_erker]

@MBalduf That's a great resource. Thanks for sharing. #HackLearning #LULearns

[Jennifer Erker @jennifer_erker]

A2: I also think building strong, trusting relationships with your colleagues and administration is so important to be able to have the tough conversations. #hacklearning #LULearns

[Jennifer Erker @jennifer_erker]

A2: I think this can be very difficult, but if you can be genuine in your questioning and not make the person feel like you are calling them out and putting them on the defensive, then I think you are more apt to have a more open conversation #hacklearning #LULearns
