Some news of the lugger in Kitt's Hole had found its way toSupervisor Dance and set him forth that night in our direction, and to that circumstance my mother and I owed our preservation from death.
In the meantime thesupervisor rode on, as fast as he could, to Kitt's Hole; but his men had to dismount and grope down the dingle, leading, and sometimes supporting, their horses, and in continual fear of ambushes; so it was no great matter for surprise that when they got down to the Hole the lugger was already under way, though still close in.

Factors identified as being important are the quality of the supervisor-trainee relationship, establishing mutual respect and professional boundaries, conducting direct observations, providing constructive feedback, careful planning with SMART (specific, measureable, achievable, results orientated, time bound) learning objectives; these need to be agreed by trainee andsupervisor as well as provisions for pastoral care through regular appraisals and reviews.
Supervisors, on the other hand, are responsible for carrying out management of the team's operations and processes, the work of all individual direct reports, as well as technical work that only thesupervisor can perform.
Thesupervisor may find that management training and mentors may not have offered the tools to cope with these types of conduct problems.
In primary school distance education, the role of thesupervisor has been largely unexplored.
