To all the first year educators - you got this!
One of our favourite quotes that we take with us whenever we are stepping out of our comfort zones, taking on new endeavors and/or leveling up! We can sometimes talk ourselves out of opportunities that we worked so hard to prepare for! Being an educator will certainly have its ups and downs but you earned your right to be here. Dedicate yourself to learning, unlearning and relearning and always remind yourself that YOU GOT THIS.

Since forever-Hip-hop- like many of the experiences of Black and Brown youth in education have been marginalized for existing outside of traditional school norms.
β
Challenge this by incorporating Hip-hop into the curriculum.
β
1) Validate student experiences as classroom resources and encourage students to share their thoughts, feelings and inate geniuses in creative ways.
β
2) Introduce students to the different Hip-hop elements, such as poetry or rap, breakdancing, beat boxing and emceeing.
β
3) Pull from these knowledge forms and be ready to learn from your students as they write, discuss, listen and learn from each other.
β
REMEMBERβͺοΈ all educators can work with students to co-create a community of learners that look out for each other and work creatively to challenge traditional notions of who is successful and who is not π€ππ©πΏββοΈ
β
Who's ready to disrupt the idea that Hip-hop not only exists outside of the classroom, but is ACTUALLY INSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM ALREADY!??

ENJOY.
