Working as a team with everyone involved is important to keeping the end goal of the student's success in mind. Teams can clash heads occasionally but keeping the end in mind can help teams to resolve issues before it becomes too big of a problem.

2a) having open communication with your team members

2b) honesty in the goals and steps they will take

2b) respecting parent's backgrounds and belief systems, not compromising the beliefs of conformity

2c) be comfortable with being uncomfortable

2d) Discussing language and terminologies in ways that parents can understand.
