End of DTS Staff Report

At the end of a DTS, staff may be encouraged to write a report evaluating different areas of the DTS which carried some influence, according to their effectiveness. The report may be worked on individually, then discussed as a group as a form of debrief, but also for the sake of adding a verbal element of feedback more suited to verbal processors or a DTS director/leader who will better receive feedback orally.
