Spit What You Know: Critical Notions of Knowing, Showing, and Educational Assessment Through Hip-Hop
Mon, April 25, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: South Building, Level 1, Point LomaSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Assessment dominates many aspects of schooling, and its coupling with accountability positions it as a powerfully oppressive force. This session builds from Hip Hop-Based Education to cultivate an interactive environment where conveners and participants collectively examine and expand perspectives on assessing what people know. Each paper restructures assumptions about knowing and showing, generating approaches to challenging colonial processes furthered in traditional educational assessments. Weaving together culturally sustaining approaches, critical literacies, and critical making, this session invites discussion and imagining of new futures for the what, the how, and the why of youth demonstrations of knowledge and practice. The session’s format offers a revision to traditional symposia presentations by inviting the collective, interactive production of shared knowledge, experience, and message.
