Yoke

The yoke is what keeps two oxen pulling in step. In practice it is the shared calendar, the handoff between caregivers, the case meeting where the foster parent and the caseworker and the therapist say the same thing about what the child needs this week. Pieces in this part address how advocates work as a team rather than as silos. They cover the practice of the warm handoff, the etiquette of disagreement between adults in front of the child, the structure of a healthy team meeting, and the question of when to pull a second ox into the yoke before the first is broken. Forms that fit this part include `POLICY`, `STRATEGY_PRACTICE`, `LENS`, and `TOOLKIT` for handoff scripts and team templates. The journey vocabulary includes: in step, shared load, the team that pulls together, the second ox.
