<span><span><span>Many educators already know that hip-hop can be a powerful tool for engaging students. But can hip-hop save our schools? In </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Hip Hop Genius</span><span>, Sam Seidel introduces an iteration of hip-hop education that goes far beyond the usual approach of studying rap music as classroom content and looks instead at deeply honoring the knowledge of urban students. Seidel lays out a vision for how hip-hop's genius—the resourceful creativity and swagger that took it from a local phenomenon to a global force—can lead to a fundamental remix of the way we think of teaching, school design, and leadership.</span></span><br /><span><span><br>Through stories about the professional rapper who founded the first hip-hop high school and the aspiring artists currently enrolled there, </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Hip Hop Genius</span><span> invites readers to think outside the (boom)box about what hip-hop education can mean and to consider the implications that a broader definition of hip-hop education could have on their teaching and learning experiences.</span></span><br /><span><span><br>This book is for all of the educators in need of new solutions and all the hip-hop heads who know hip-hop is far more than music. It is for everyone who refuses to watch brilliant young people slip through the cracks and is down to take action.</span></span><br /><span><span> </span></span><br /><span><span style="font-weight:bold;">View</span><span> Sam's YouTube trailer for the book <span style="text-decoration: underline;">here</span></span></span><br /><span><span> </span></span><br /><span><span> </span></span></span>
