bower(note)™ is a transformational protocol for the conduct of all meetings. 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.
  • Provides powerful contractual management and is best embedded in policy and procedure.
  • Cost effective and administratively efficient, removing duplication.
  • Remediates the fundamental inequalities that constrain problem resolution.
  • Aligns responsibility for problems with the authority to produce solutions.
  • Outcome driven with an eye to change
  • Ameliorates the misunderstandings and differences central to complaints.
  • Aligns the boundary between health, education and human services providers and promotes broad collaboration.
  • 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.

Learn the practice and theory of bower(note)™ in a full-day, face-to-face workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to analyse a case study that directly relates to their school context through the bower(method)™ framework for thinking through complexity.

Includes:

Professional Development: 6-hours (face-to-face OR live online available)

Group Coaching: Free 60min monthly (online Q&A)
