STEP 5: FOLLOW THROUGH
All members of the team should always respond promptly to any issues or concerns that arise.
Make sure to answer any notes or questions that you receive in a timely manner. This allows the
special education team members to know that you have read and validate their comments. Fulfill
all the requests made of you, that way you can expect the same in return from the special
education team. If you make a suggestion during a team meeting, be sure to follow through on
the suggestion and be available to offer feedback on how it went at the next meeting.
By following these five steps, everyone’s voice will be heard on the special education team
which is of great value to a student’s overall success.
