NAfME Webinar: Teaching and Exploring Hip Hop

This session focuses on using Hip Hop Culture and its impact as a teaching tool in the classroom. During the session, participants will explore and discuss various ways of using Hip Hop in the classroom, models and approaches to integrating Hip Hop into the curriculum, interdisciplinary approaches to lesson creation, and tactics for research gathering and use of information. This session hopes to give its participants a new perspective on Hip Hop as pedagogy and empower educators to use Hip Hop as a teaching tool without having to become an authority on the culture. Participants will begin to envision lesson plans and activities centered on Hip Hop’s place in our society and its impact. When completed, participants should have greater efficacy in integrating Hip Hop into their teaching and a more profound sense of the possibilities.
