Mix It Up Dialogues Mix It Up Dialogues support the creation and maintenance of healthy school communities. Our Handbook shows you how to convene these powerful conversations – and offers follow-up activities to help fulfill academic assessment requirements. Students, as Dialogue participants, talk openly and honestly about the social climates in their schools. They also brainstorm ways the climate can be improved – and then act on those ideas. Teachers, by convening Dialogues, support key learning objectives – improving students' active listening and critical thinking skills. In the end, teachers will find classrooms that are easier to manage and more conducive to learning. Administrators, in supporting Mix It Up Dialogues, help create a more respectful school. Students, parents, teachers and staff will feel more connected to and welcome in a school that embraces respect and marginalizes conflict.

Mix It Up Dialogues work because:
Mix It Up Dialogues aren't just about talking, however. They're also about taking action – changing personal behaviors that may hurt or exclude others and engaging in collective projects to improve school climate. |
