Communication Log
Why keep a communication log? Documentation is critical in special education. If there's ever a dispute, you'll have a record of what was discussed, when, and with whom. This log is stored locally on your device - not uploaded to any server.

Communication Best Practices
Document Everything: Keep records of all communications. If there's ever a dispute, documentation is critical.
Professional & Collaborative: Even when frustrated, maintain professional tone. You're building a long-term relationship.
Be Specific: Vague requests get vague responses. Provide dates, data, and specific examples.
Follow Up in Writing: After phone calls or meetings, send email summary of what was discussed and agreed to.
Know When to Escalate: If informal conversations aren't working, don't wait too long to request formal meeting or bring advocate.
