The theme for this year's event is:
Equity: ALL Means ALL! 

Our Theme and Why It Matters
​

“Excellence in education is when we do everything that we can so they can become everything that THEY can.”
~ Carol Ann Tomlinson

​

The time is now for us to collectively examine our commitments to equity, justice, and antiracist teaching for ALL students.

Join VBISD in moving toward co-creating a healthy, more just world for our students, families, and ourselves.
This is a day of professional learning for all of us to participate. We invite teachers, paraeducators, social workers, consultants, and leaders from Pre-K through 12, as well as colleagues collaborating with families and working in schools, communities, and other learning contexts, to participate. We acknowledge that there will be a span of experiences and viewpoints. The Mix and Mingle Event is an opportunity, a call to gather to learn, and an invitation to push our practice in accordance with our theme and in relation to wherever we all are in 2021. It is up to us, ALL of us, to move education forward in more equitable, just, and antiracist ways.

Call for Presenters!
​Mix and Mingle Welcomes Proposals…

For our 2021 Mix and Mingle, we invite you to try and incorporate some of the following ideas and language into your breakout session to follow our theme for the day:
  • What equity is inside classrooms, schools, and communities, and for children, youth, and families (opportunities, access, engagement for ALL);
  • What justice requires from educators and researchers in light of movements for equality, freedom, and equity (anti-bias practices, beliefs, outcomes); and
  • What culturally responsive and inclusive teaching practices means in our curricular choices and in our daily interactions with students and each other.

    Sessions must be either 50 or 100 minutes in length. 

    Submissions are due by April 15th.
