To be an on-the-ball Supervisor, one should be oneself fully trained on the level one is supervising. It is by far preferable to be a Class VIII with a full grasp of Standard Tech.

To be an effective Supervisor one must know that there is Standard Tech and therefore that there is Standard Supervision.

As Tech once whittled away across the planet and finally went so badly out it had to be urgently rescued, it follows that out-supervision must have pioneered the route of out-tech. So it’s no light matter not knowing one’s business as a Supervisor and the consequences of mis- or non-application of study data.

Tech is contained ONLY in HCOBs, tapes and books written and issued by LRH. So is Standard Supervision.

These must be known. As the student is a student, it follows there is some willingness to learn. This must be validated and encouraged including by unmentioned wins as in TR 4.

The Supervisor's job consists of

As he or she is there to study attention must be channeled and kept on that vector and any side tracks knocked out and eradicated during the period set aside for study.

1. Noting that the class members are present on time.

Any difficulties arising (and there will be in the course of study) refer the student to materials just ahead. Locate, indicate and get defined the misunderstood.

2. Calling roll.

Handle any student having trouble with study by:

3. Introduction of new students or those returning from the Examiner.

(a) Getting hold of the material he is studying.

4. R. Factor for new comers.

(b) Getting hold of the material he was studying.

5. Handling queries and/or questions regarding the course and its running.

(c) Finding what he says he has trouble with.

6. Ensuring that space and equipment are available.

(d) Take up the area or material PRIOR to it and find what is bugging him.

7. Seeing that Tech Services personnel provide top service and no sloppy „help yourself to what ever you want“.

(e) Remedy A and B handles this also.

8. Seeing that breaks are started and completed promptly with Rollcall.

(f) Do not send a student to review unless he says he wants a review — then send him to the examiner.

9. Area must be neat and tidy at all times. Uniform chairs and tables used and squared away, excess student gear stowed elsewhere.

(g) If the student doesn’t apply this data on dope off and misunderstoods, then a pink sheet on the HCOBs will handle that. Clay Table Training HCOB 11.10.67 is most beneficial when applied exactly.

10. A library containing all the books and pabs should be available should the bookstore run out of literature.

It sometimes appears that you have a different or difficult student on your course.

11. Students do not arrive or leave on their own accord.

The same rules apply. Standard Tech is applicable and works on all cases.

12. They are not to interrupt each other at work and all questions should be directed to the Supervisor who will refer then to the material which contains the information required.

What you are doing and using is straightening their heads out. So don’t desist. Keep at it until the guy gets the idea, does it himself and starts cleaning up misunderstoods in the standard manner.

13. NEVER NEVER allow anyone to walk in and interrupt or address any student on course.

He’ll do it on his own and then on others.

14. The Supervisor is there and there on time.

15. The schedule runs exactly on time, never varying.

As Supervisor it is your responsibility to eradicate any barriers or hindrances presented which distract the student from studying. This includes extra curricular activities.
