Edmund Adjapong

The struggle to engage students, empower their voices, and support them in developing their sense of belonging has never been more real. What can hip-hop culture teach school communities about engagement and learning? How is hip-hop culture different from hip-hop music, and how can teachers leverage it as a culturally responsive and affirming approach to teaching?

In Teach Like an MC, Edmund Adjapong provides a research-based framework for implementing innovative teaching strategies anchored in the five elements of hip-hop culture: MCing, graffiti, knowledge of self, DJing, and breakdancing. He shares the historical background of hip-hop, understandings of hip-hop culture, and instructional ideas for incorporating youth culture into the daily fabric of the classroom. 

When we create culturally affirming spaces where every student feels seen, heard, and valued, we set the stage not just for engagement, but for a deeper understanding and connection with our content. Bring love, joy, and liberation into your classroom. Teach like an MC.
