Dialogue Across Divides
With Mismatch, teachers join a growing community of educators committed to preparing their students to participate in a healthier democracy through dialogue.
Turning Differences into Opportunities
One of the most mismatched professions in our country is education—where teachers work in vastly different regions, under different policies, and with diverse student populations. Mismatch brings classrooms together to form powerful partnerships, turning differences into opportunities. By collaborating across divides, teachers build stronger professional communities and prepare their students for meaningful civic dialogue.
Dialogue is essential to democracy. With Mismatch, classrooms learn to humanize the “other.”
