TWO WEEKS TO GO!

Allow us to introduce you to Brandon “Griot” B from SchoolYard Rap. He’s not just a performer; he’s a storyteller, an educator, and a hip-hop maestro all rolled into one! SchoolYard Rap was created from firsthand experiences in education that profoundly shaped Griot B’s understanding of the importance of how history is taught.
Working as an assistant principal and teacher in Inglewood, he observed that the curriculum on Black history was narrowly focused, predominantly covering slavery and segregation. This observation sparked his determination to broaden the narrative and thus SchoolYard Rap was born!

SchoolYard Rap’s performance at Spring CUE will be more than a musical; it’s a movement. It’s about building a society that recognizes and respects the diverse histories that shape us. Let’s unite to celebrate, learn, and grow as a CUEmmunity.
Spring CUE is just two weeks away, March 21-23rd. Will you join us?

Not that kind of BOOMER!
We’re talking CUE BOOMERs at Spring CUE 2024!
What is a CUE BOOM? A CUE Boom allows educators to share their favorite tools or hacks in a 3-minute mic drop moment. CUE BOOMs have been a popular feature of our events for some time, but we are taking them to the keynote stage this year.  With the inclusion of CUE Booms as the closing keynote, we aim to elevate the voices of educators who are new to speaking but have a big idea to share!

Selected participants get FREE Spring CUE registration + mentorship opportunities.
