About the Playbook

This guide positions remixing not merely as a resource practice but as a powerful community-centered approach to teaching and learning. Drawing inspiration from hip-hop scholarship, this playbook explores remixing as a culturally relevant and inclusive practice that engages educators and learners collaboratively to create resonant, meaningful learning experiences. The Playbook outlines clear frameworks—focusing on remixing Products, Perspectives, and Practices—and provides practical examples demonstrating how educators can leverage remix methods to affirm students’ identities, foster innovative pedagogies, and strengthen educational communities. Ultimately, Open Remix encourages educators to move beyond traditional curriculum design, fostering collective creativity and cultural affirmation in ways that deeply engage and empower students.
