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
