“When the music stops, the learning doesn’t!“
ALL students benefit from strong, engaging language instruction!
Students from lower socio-economic, special education, and inner-city backgrounds need language support to build context around the content and skills they’re learning.
They also need vocabulary scaffolds and targeted, skill-based language activities to fill in gaps in their knowledge and abilities. And all of this needs to be done with high engagement and cultural relevance as research has consistently proven.
Hip Hop started as the voice of the youth, and rap music is the most popular genre of music with youth today.
