bower(note)™ is a transformational protocol for the conduct of any meeting or significant exchange between interested parties about a human problem or symptom, a dilemma, or a difference or dispute. It provides structure and process for meetings that maximises the quality of information produced in a meeting, the documentation of that information, and the prevention of that information from being lost, protecting all parties in the process.
This workshop provides a protocol and structured framework for school staff addressing complex meetings, with a focus on inclusion, participation, collaboration, and the management of inequality. Learn about the history of the increase in complexity in our schools with a focus on 21st Century management of problems and symptoms.
The bower(note) Protocol:
- Provides powerful contractual management and is best embedded in policy and procedure.
- Remediates the fundamental inequalities that constrain problem resolution.
- Aligns responsibility for problems with the authority to produce solutions.
- Ameliorates the misunderstandings and differences central to complaints.
- Manages student, parent, and school disputes and staff / leadership issues.
- Deals directly with dysregulation, violence, abuse, and self-harm.
- Transparent, inclusive, contemporaneous, and legally protective.
- A communication, recording and intervention process.
