Mix It Up | Teaching Tolerance


Mix It Up Teaching Tolerance:
"Is your school Mixing It Up? Add your school to the Mix It Up map today.

Students thrive—socially and academically—in schools that are inclusive. Yet, for far too many students, schools are hotbeds of exclusion. Social scientists have long maintained that contact between diverse groups helps alleviate tensions and reduce prejudice. Mix It Up seeks to break down the barriers between students and improve intergroup relations so there are fewer misunderstandings that can lead to conflicts, bullying, and harassment.

Teaching Tolerance provides Mix It Up activities for teachers to use to organize a successful Mix It Up at Lunch Day and promote social border crossing all year long.
Join this national movement. You could be named our next Mix It Up Model School."
