This paper is to reflect on my process of developing a graduate course on clinical supervision. I will reflect on the process through responding to the questions provided by the instructor. How do you think developing this course helped to develop your knowledge of pedagogy? How about of supervision? Were there surprises? Developing a course on clinical supervision allowed me to reflect on how to effectively construct an online graduate course. As I constructed the course and its syllabus, I paid attention to the sequence of course. I wished the materials to flow well. It was my intention to assist the learners to increase their knowledge about clinical supervision and develop competency on this subject. Therefore, it was important for me to start the course with an overview of clinical supervision and its research. From there, I included specific areas of supervision that align with Saybrook’s mission. Examples of those areas are ethics, multiculturalism, and the humanistic approach to supervision. In reviewing literature on clinical supervision, I was exposed to various approaches (see Bernard & Goodyear, 2014). Although, contents of literature did not greatly surprise me, they were very helpful in articulating my past experiences as a supervisee as well as supervisor. I was able to identify some of methods utilized by my past supervisors. My past supervisors were practicing what were described in textbooks without naming them. Perhaps, it is not always helpful to name
My supervision is always held in a confidential setting, between myself and my Manager. My Manager records details of what has been discussed, targets identified, and achievement target dates to be met by me and my Manager. This is my personal development plan, and helps me to record training received, training identified, and knowledge gained. My supervision is my opportunity to discuss issues I am concerned about. Sometimes prior to my supervision, I write down notes on issues I want to raise, so that I do not forget whilst in my supervision.
Thanks Vanessa, you did a great job defining the role and use of supervision. I did not know if you noticed that Our Lady of the Lake mission’s statement is in perfect line with the social worker code of ethics. I would like to share what I found in similarity with our mission statement. According to the National Association of Social Work (2010), the mission of the social work profession is rooted in a set of core values. These core values, embraced by social workers throughout the professions’ history, are foundation of social work’s unique purpose and perspective. Service, Social justice, Dignity, Dignity and worth of the person, Importance of human relationships, Integrity, and Competence. This constellation of core values reflects what is unique to the social work profession. According to Kiser (2012) the field supervisor is key to student learning in any human services internship. Ideally, supervisory relationships are based on trust and mutual understanding. Great job and good luck.

After completing my clinical supervision project, I can reflect on multiple things I have learned about myself as a supervisor, including my approach to clinical supervision, my conference skills, and my strengths and weaknesses. I now recognize more than ever that effective supervisors must consistently self-assess their practice and make adjustments as necessary for continuous improvement, just as effective teachers do.
Separating the roles of supervisor and supervisee can increase transparency of performance evaluation and feedback. Supervisors must understand that strains can be take place by the difficulties inborn in clinical practice/clinical preparing, conflicts in the objectives as well as assignments, insufficient regard for the superordinate qualities, deficiencies in specialized competence , and especially, in crossing boundaries; furthermore, infringement, in risky supervisee conduct, and through negative responses and the order of transference, counter-transference and parallel process phenomena (Falender and Shaffanske, 2004).
As a student this course forced to become a better student and manage my time wisely. The course was demanding and rigorous while also making me more observant of what is happening in education globally. This aspect of the course has help me professionally. Therefor the answer to both sections of this question is similar.
The supervisor will inform the supervisee of the evaluation instrument used to assess his/her progress. Verbal and/or written feedback will be provided during each supervisory session. To be in good standing, supervisee must perform to a certain professional standard.
In Townend study (2008), participants highlighted the concepts of multi-level cognitive processing during clinical supervision, specifically making a dissimilarity between a focused assignment in supervision for example to interpret of
The clinical instructor will document the student’s progress towards meeting course outcomes and standards of behavior using anecdotal notes, which “... are objective written descriptions of observed student performance or behaviors” (Billings & Halstead, 2016, p. 448). In addition, the instructor will meet with the student each week to discuss strengths, weaknesses, and provide
I will first observe the interactions between my preceptor and patients. Then, I will utilize the techniques that my preceptor uses to meet the patient and family’s psychosocial needs.
Each week during my practicum experience brings new knowledge. The opportunities of practical real-life experience sessions, teachings, and counseling’s have consistently strengthened my hands-on preparation for leadership. Additionally, every participated session brought new strategies on how to deliver the proper support and services associated with the required care.
This course has enlightened me to the concept of the learning organization and my role in it. Before this course I felt it was all management things that I could not relate to since I was not a manager.
This essay aspires to describe the value of patient teaching during clinical setting. Although there is no single teaching tool, some of them are more effective than others based on the patient’s ability to learn, preferred learning style, and which domain of educational activities of learning this has. I practiced patient’s teaching in a clinical setting that has guided my research on the concept of teaching. The literature stresses that patient teaching is essential to expertise in clinical practice and should be meticulously taught to students and beginner nurses. Patient education requires being comprehensive and simply explicit.
Identifying a supervision method that compliments the supervisor, the supervisee, and the supervisory relationship can best be done when one first considers the factors identified by the National Association of Social
This eight week course has taught me a lot about what it takes to be a teacher leader but there are three areas in which I feel that I have grown the most because of the class, they are, scripting, post observation meetings, and it has helped me appreciate everything that my administration does.
