Inclusivity Education Model

The assumption is that “if you know better, you do better.” However, even if one knows better, the individual may not know how to do better. That is because the assumption omits a critical step between knowing and doing: scaffolding!

Liberation is the goal and consistent increases in Inclusivity get us there.

But increasing Inclusivity does not happen overnight. Therefore, we've created a scaffolded process to get there over time.

We integrated the “I Do,” “We Do,” “You Do” technique with our “Know Better,” “Learn How to Do Better,” and “Do Better” technique to foster and sustain personal and organizational change.

I Do: Inclusivity Education conducts an Inclusivity Appraisal to uncover what may have been invisible—or ignored—in a way that can no longer be unknown. This is the first half of “Know Better,” which continues via the Inclusivity Gap Analysis.

We Do, Part 1: A collaborative process that relies heavily on the voice of those in need of Liberation, the Inclusivity Gap Analysis , as the second half of the “Know Better” prong, uncovers the specific needs that undergird the Inclusivity Appraisal’s excavations. Guided by Inclusivity Education, individuals deconstruct current versus necessary state of Inclusivity via deep, critical, analysis and uncover the root causes of needs and the unspoken, true version of those needs. Now individuals know better and want to do better, but at Inclusivity Education, as educators, we scaffold the process to guide future Liberation works into properly learning to do better. The Gap Analysis began this process.

We Do, Part 2: Liberation is about critical transformation, and the Liberatory Action Plan continues learning to do better via collaboration about how to positively change the conditions of those who have felt marginalized under their leadership. The Action Plan uses liberation theory within SMARTIE goal (The Management Center) creation and logic modeling to design a critically transformative strategic plan. Individuals have now learned how to do better. All that is left is to do better.

You Do: Now knowing how to do better, the onus is on the learners to carry out the strategic plan and actually do better while Inclusivity Education acts as an accountability partner via Accountability Tracking to share updates on progress towards closing gaps en route to equity and, ultimately, liberation.
