"I use rap because it is something that appeals to the students, also because music aids with memory," Scott explains.
"So, if I can come up with rap and organize it and present it to the students, then that"s helping the students to memorize it."
Scott started using rap videos three years ago. So far he has produced nine, including YouTube favorites "Triangle Experts" and "Quadratic Formulatic," which have been viewed tens of thousands of times. "It is fun and the whole process is something that students appreciate," Scott says.
In recent years, Scott has made a special effort to help students from other countries.
"When they come here, their language skills are not up to par. So they are often times placed on a remedial level which is very low. Some of the students get discouraged and drop out," he states. "So I decide to focus on this group of students because many of those students are very capable."
Scott was recognized as an outstanding educator last year by the Montgomery County Council. He was also honored as 2011 teacher of the year by an African-American civil rights organization.
