Overview:
This workshop reviews the basic components of supervision, locates group supervision and reflective practice within a competency-based framework, introduces evidence-based and practice-informed principles
of group process and group supervision, and provides participants with a framework for (peer) group supervision practice, together with opportunity for consolidation through experiential exercises.
Learning Outcomes:
At the completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
Describe the principles underlying group supervision and reflective practice within a competency-based approach to supervision
Demonstrate knowledge of evidence-based and practice-informed principles of group supervision processes
Demonstrate skills in establishing a peer supervision group, and then leading group participants through a number of group supervision tasks
Demonstrate the use of reflective feedback and evaluation of group process
Methods/Activities:
The workshop utilises adult learning principles:
Pre-reading of key materials and preparation of reflective material from participant’s own supervisory experience (one page Notable Incident)
Discussion of participants workshop goals and relevant previous experience
Interactive didactic presentation of evidence-based content
Small group discussions of key concepts
Live and video demonstrations
Experiential exercises
Larger group reflections of key content and learning from exercises
Evaluation:
There are three (3) methods of evaluation to help participants to consolidate workshop materials, and to ensure that participants have demonstrated competence:
Demonstration of reflective practice via preparation of Notable Incident from group process experience
Demonstration of knowledge via achieving at least 80% on a post-workshop assessment task (6 questions)
Demonstration of group supervision skills and attitudes via achieving at least 80% on the Leeds Alliance in Supervision Scale from peers following a small group experiential exercise
