23. Example Supervisors’ Activities For each item on Self-Assessment share one specific strategy you try to use. Observe colleague. Video tape & assess. Agree on one item that everyone will emphasize next week, & tell all staff. Complete Self-Assessment for one setting next week, & turn into Tom on Friday.
