The VU Mixed Classroom Educational Model is an educational approach that builds upon differences to enrich the learning experience for all students present. Capitalizing on differences does not mean compromising between different perspectives or merging them into one uniform perspective. Instead, the approach uses the differences and possible tension between views to stimulate critical thinking, develop analytical skills, and generate creative solutions. The VU Mixed Classroom Educational Model is built on a three-phase process through which students learn how to capitalize on different perspectives within the classroom. In this workshop you will learn to work with the Model.

Based on interviews and observations during Mixed Classroom workshops, we disentangled hot moments and put together a framework. This document offers insights, tools and tips for teachers in higher education. Based on these insights, we have developed workshops and teacher feedback sessions.
