PRESENTATION:
There is another training that is the introduction and basics of this topic on March 8, 2023. Please sign up for that event as well if you’d like to receive the full range of information.
Successful Supervision: A Deeper Dive introduces a new set of topics from the first part of this course. While not mandatory, it is highly recommended that participants attend both sessions. This day also recognizes that Supervisors play a pivotal role in establishing a quality workforce, yet all too often have not been equipped with the resources necessary to ensure their team members function most effectively in their roles. Drawing from the professional literature and the supervisor experience, this course employs a culturally responsive and systems-thinking approach to challenges confronting supervisors. It aims to build the capacity of supervisors to provide more responsive and informed supervision for the people on their team. Workshop participants will learn about available resources and apply practical tools designed to improve supervisory practices. Day Two of the course focuses on culturally responsive supervision, supporting the upholding of professional boundaries, staff development, and responding effectively to supervisory challenges. To enhance the participants’ experience and maximize retention of newly acquired knowledge and skills, this course employs a variety of methods to accommodate a range of learning styles. In each section multiple methods are used to deepen learning.
Objectives:
- Develop strategies to improve cross-cultural communication with supervisees
- Practice maintaining professional boundaries
- Recognize and address barriers to staff development
- Identify growth opportunities for supervisees
- Practice responding to supervisory challenges
