IF YOU HAVE SORTED YOUR STUDENTS INTO MULTIPLE CLASSES BASED ON ANY SCORES FROM THE PAST YEAR & ARE TEACHING THEM DIFFERENT LEVELS OF CONTENT, YOU ARE CREATING THE INSTRUCTIONAL GAPS!
If they aren’t engaging in grade-level tasks, you are committing educational malpractice.

Hip hop culture is love: love in ratchetness, love in intellectualism, love in criticality, love in learning, love in never having to enter spaces half of who you are. #hiphoped @chrisemdin

Welcome loudness. Welcome standing up. Welcome discomfort. Welcome realness. #HipHopEd

Check on your "good" students, too. Overachieving, hypervigilance of other's feelings, etc can also be trauma responses, but are often overlooked, especially in girls, because that's how patriarchy expects girls to act. #HipHopEd
Yes! Nothing helps me connect with my teacher, mentor, or counselor more than when I hear about their emotions and issues. That realness is so dire to genuinely connect and learn🙌🏽 #HipHopEd
Students learn more from what you model for them than what you tell them. We must model emotional awareness and wellness. Feel out loud and navigate the feelings in front of them #HipHopEd

We create a space where it's okay for students to be vulnerable by modeling vulnerability ourselves. Spit some bars. Sing. Be a bit of a fool. Whatever your thing is. Make it clear this is a space where we can be ourselves. #HipHopEd

Find your form of expression and dive deeply into it. Heal through it. Draw, paint, rhyme, sing, dress.. yes dress. Sometimes my outfits be healing AF.#HipHopEd

When you have to consistently articulate what you are, there is a good chance that you may not be consistently be who you think you are. (i.e. I'm not racist) #HipHopEd
Adding onto that. Honestly when a teacher is able to openly express their emotions to their student it creates an even better bond. Teacher's speaking about their mental allows us to create a mutual respect and even think of you more as a person. #HipHopEd

Yes FR! and as a student, being absent for mental health days should absolutely be a thing! It is so draining to be forced into a space when you are mentally not in the right space to learn and be productive. #HipHopEd
I would love for mental illness to eventually be discussed as physical illness. Where's the stigma around getting a stomach bug or the flu? I want us to be as open with having anxiety as we are with having a cold. #HipHopEd
So excited for this chat tonight! Just last night I was feeling really low on self love. I put on some nice clothes and played As I Am by @HERMusicx and completely reset my self going into this week! #HipHopEd

Hip hop loves narratives where women do unreciprocated emotional labor: "ride or die chicks", "hold your man down", being "down" no matter what he does. All this upholds a version of womanhood that only benefits patriarchy. #HipHopEd
