Episode notes
Supervision Is A Distinct Professional Practice
- Supervision is a distinct professional practice that is collaborative and both facilitative and evaluative.
- It exists to enhance competence, monitor service quality, protect the public, and gatekeep entry to the profession.
Get Formal Training In Supervision
- Seek formal training in supervision because clinical skill does not equal teaching skill.
- Use courses, CE, and literature rather than relying only on peer conversations to learn supervision.
Use Developmental Competency Ratings
- Use a developmental, stage-based evaluation rather than a flat Likert scale to avoid grade inflation.
- Expect growth from entry level upward and reserve top levels for expert competency.
