Inequality is at the heart of all human problems.

The inclusion of students with high and complex needs has produced a raft of inequalities schools cannot easily manage. An escalation in student mental health, violence, non-attendance, parent dysregulation, teacher dissatisfaction, exodus from the profession and plummeting enrolments in teaching, is an education system in crisis. The solution has become its own symptom.

bower(schools) is a multisystem, complexity and crisis protocol for managing behavioural, emotional, and cognitive dysregulation in schools. It is a relationship management and learning system.

bower(schools) turns each dilemma and crisis into a moment of cultural transformation for the school, working with leadership, teachers, and support staff to tweak old protocols and devise new protocols to manage inclusion and inequality safely.

bower(schools) deals with the student, parent, and family dysregulation and violence that often comes with the inclusion of high and complex needs’ students. This requires the sharing of responsibility and collaboration between the school, family and child protection, mental health, justice, and disability systems.

bower(schools) can be entered from any point on the visual compass and requires the school, leadership, teacher, and support to engage through the bower(knowledge) portal – the pivot for bower(schools). Bower(schools) tracks the learning, and transformation of the school.
