I am a teacher in the Dallas I.S.D. and we have writen, recorded and are promoting a motivational rap song for students in 3rd-11th grade. This Maxi-Single is d**e! This is a very unique project that the entire states of Texas and Kentucky need to take advantage of. I encourage all parents, teachers, principals and anyone with a desire to help our youth "Win in Life"; to purchase a CD and help ignite the TAKS Test Motivational Movement. These songs are "Must Hears" for our youth! TTMM TAKS Test Motivational Movement One of the first steps in the Learning process is “Belief.” We believe in the combination of “Believing and Achieving!” It is our mission to help prepare students for passing the TAKS Test as well as winning in life! We do this by performing the Taks Test Motivational Movement and influence children with one of their favorite pass times, “Rap Music.” As you hear on the web-site, we have several different versions of a very strong song, “Time Zone.” We will bring young artist that have a superstar persona to your school and provide you with 25 minutes of rapping, positive chants performed to melodies and involve your student body in an unforgettable, “I think I can! I know I will!!!” Pep- Rally. We have visited schools from Dallas/ Ft. Worth to Houston. We are very pleased with the response and outcome of our visits. We are also excited about future plans to cover the entire state of Texas. At each school we ask the administration to identify at least 100 at risk students to provide the Time Zone Maxi-single to as extra reinforcement after our visit. We know that our children occupy countless hours listening to rap music, so we should provide them with a hip alternative for their listening pleasure. We offer this maxi-single to school at $1.00 per CD. What we have come to find is that as students begin to memorize the words of the song; they also begin to believe that they are capable of passing the test. The next level of this belief is students embrace “Believing and Achieving,” and their personal success is expected. We know that rap is not the cure all, but coupled with quality teaching, high teacher expectations and a rigorous atmosphere that fosters teaching and learning, we can push for Exemplary campuses around the Nation!
