This is an example of a communication log in which a teacher can use to keep track of how/when/why they contact their students' families. Mainly the log exemplifies components 4b, maintaining accurate records, and 4c, communicating with families.
The log can be used as a way for teachers to keep track of their relationship with families. Parents or guardians can be great learning tools, so as a teacher it is helpful to keep them in the loop about what their child is learning in class. A teacher can also use this in reference to a student's behavior, good or bad. If they had to call home at one point to discuss a problem in class, it would be important to note it in case you would want to follow up. A good educator stays in touch with families, so the log can also be generally used to keep track of the last time you contacted families. If you see it has been a while, then it is a good reminder to reach out. The communication log makes a teachers life easier and is a great tool to record contact with students' families.
