Each June hundreds of educators from across the country make the journey to the Teacher Self-Care Conference that inspires their practice and rejuvenates their hearts. They leave with strong strategies and best practices for taking care of themselves in the midst of the whirlwind that teaching has become. Join us to find new teaching friends, new connections with education luminaries, and enough self-care strategies to harmonize their year.
In 2019, the Teacher Self-Care Annual Conference is scheduled for June 21-22, 2019! This year our theme is, "The Spirit of a Teacher" where we’ll be hearing from groundbreaking speakers, cutting-edge workshops, and seminars that address what teachers need.  Before signing up for your session, please purchase your tickets.

 In this workshop, I will use the Socratic Seminar strategy as well as the Three Level Guide method to showcase how hip-hop music can be used to engage and draw in students. Hip-hop is the most popular musical genre on the planet, and can be as informative as it as engaging. However the changing social landscape requires educators to use more relevant examples of rappers for Generation Z students. Through the use of leading questions, lyrics, and close reading, students can learn how to analyze text, make real world connections and develop social awareness. Samples from previous seminars include J Cole’s K.O.D. album, Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly, along with Donald Glover and more.
