Critical Literacy and Hip Hop

Integrating critical literacy and conscious Hip-Hop in the classroom setting offers numerous benefits. It allows students to engage more effectively in conversations about contemporary topics, enhances their ability to integrate cultural perspectives, and provides a fresh perspective on the challenges they face in school and within their communities. Integrating critical literacy and conscious Hip-Hop in the classroom setting offers numerous benefits. It allows students to engage more effectively in conversations about contemporary topics, enhances their ability to integrate cultural perspectives, and provides a fresh perspective on the challenges they face in school and within their communities. When teachers apply a diverse curriculum that resonates with young people, it enhances their ability to better engage students in learning. Ultimately, this should be the academic norm in school and exist as part of the teaching culture to challenge traditional framings that have neglected and disregarded minority people’s culture. Combining critical literacy with conscience Hip-Hop allows the two to intersect and enhance a teacher’s pedagogical practice

Cultural Advocacy and Teachers of Color

Teachers of color face marginalization and microaggressions that their White counterparts do not have to face. African American teachers experience microaggressions pathologizing their cultural values and communication styles, cultural/ethnic insensitivity, an ascription of their intelligence, and being treated as second-class citizens) that are hurtful, undermining, and disparaging (Brown, 2019). Asian American teachers face gendered, racial, and sexualized expectations on their campuses (Endo, 2015). A study of Latina bilingual teachers revealed that they felt alienated from their colleagues, had larger workloads, and did not have access to support (Amos, 2016). Teachers of color experience inequalities, microaggressions, and marginalization that impact their experiences as teachers (Brown, 2019; Amos, 2016; Endo, 2015). The fifteen participants’ responses generated cultural advocacy as the recurring theme. The findings revealed that the participants created networks with other teachers of color, engaged in self-advocacy and prayer, and chose to ignore microaggressions. Several stated that they decided to engage in race conversations to educate their White peers and foster understanding and empathy. While many felt they were often silenced and marginalized, they continued to maintain their professionalism while working in predominately White K–12 environments
