This workshop will explore the five elements of hip-hop and ways to implement these in your school and classrooms to create a more positive and welcoming climate and culture. We will explore the history of hip-hop, as well as the current movement to improve a sense of belonging through approaching students with a recognition of their culture by creating a bridge with your own. Participants will walk away with ideas and tools to incorporate culturally relevant opportunities in their school culture and classroom activities. Concepts will be based on elements from James "Fresh Professor" Miles' presentation group, https://www.edvengersedu.com/home, and book, "Gotta Stay Fresh".
