Hip-hop and other means of expression through spoken word might find a way into more classrooms this year after educators and others participated in a summer training program. The sixth annual Hip-Hop Educator and Community Leader Training Institute was held in July at UW-Madison through its Office of Multicultural Initiatives and Urban Word NYC. About 25 educators, education students, community leaders and activists learned the best practices in hip-hop and spoken word during the week-long program.
