PASTORAL ASSESSMENT After each statement are numbers 1 through 4, with 1 indicating a strength in a particular area, 3 indicating a weakness, and 2 being a neutral position. The number 4 will be a column for expressing no opinion. After each section there are some empty lines labeled "S & W" and "Actions." "S & W" should be used to give specific examples of strengths and weaknesses, and "Actions" should be used to give specific examples of actions to be deleted, continued, improved, or newly undertaken.
