Deep-seated biases and systems of discrimination have led to the exclusion of historically marginalized learners across societies and around the globe. It is imperative to create structures to learn from learners’ lived experiences in order to surface exclusionary practices–as well as to address them.

• Create time for regular community sessions and individual reflection sessions.
• Work as individuals and as communities to name, explore, and address exclusionary practices.
• Work as individuals and as communities to develop concrete and specific actions for addressing exclusionary practices and building inclusive communities.
• When an exclusionary practice is uncovered, provide opportunities for healing using community-based practices such as restorative justice.
