Clinical Supervisory Reflection

As a clinician, I work full time in a school and prn in the skilled nursing facilities. Being able to learn about the many topics of supervision throughout both semesters has been rewarding. Even though I have never supervised a student before, I will take the skills that I have learned and apply it into my work environment in the future. ASHA (2008) states an effective supervision facilitates the development of clinical competence in supervisees at all levels of practice, from students to certified clinicians. Clinical supervision is a collaborative process with shared responsibility for many of the activities involved in the supervisory experience. When supervising, I would collaborate with my supervisee(s) to make sure that we are one accord

I think it is safe to say that the coach has several roles to perform; with the main objective being to develop the person being coached. This can be achieved by increasing self-confidence, identifying relevant and suitable topics for coaching as well as agreeing the setting of suitable planned tasks to support the learning process.

The role of a literacy coach is to work with struggling readers, assist the classroom teacher in terms of teaching literacy, model and assist with various components of the literacy block, and help the teachers grow in their knowledge and teaching of literacy. It is also important that the literacy coach is very knowledgeable about literacy, so they are able to help classroom teachers and struggling readers. The literacy coach should work hand in hand with the classroom teachers for each grade level to develop a curriculum that is age appropriate, covers all of the required standards, and engaging for the students. In order for students to be successful readers and writers, they must get a strong foundation in kindergarten and consistently build upon that foundation with each grade level. The literacy coach needs to provide ample professional development

It is vital for me as a coach that before my touch points with individuals I am fully prepared by allowing the coachee sufficient time to prepare as well as setting the agenda (purpose) and structure for the meeting. To be effective coach I will need to make sure I listen to the coahee and make sure I adapt to their learning styles as seen in the honey & Mumford 1960 for example changing from visual to auditory depending on the coachee

This critique is based on the research study, Middle School Literacy Coaching from the Coach’s perspectives. In this study, Smith (2012) designed a study to investigate middle school literacy coaches’ perspectives. He was looking at the coaches’ efforts to promote teacher change and how it impacted classroom practice. The topic was stated in the first paragraph of the article making it clearly stated for the reader to find.

In the midst of attending a party with his friends, a random, ricocheted bullet pierced the right side of his head while he was trying to break up a fight. The bullet blew away part of his skull and lodged into his brain. When he arrived in the trauma bay, medically he was dead- no pulse, no spontaneous respirations. His family was forewarned that if he woke up there was a strong possibility that he would never speak or walk again. The patient- B.H., was a seventeen-year-old high school senior, who was class president, and captain of the football team when he was shot. During his month long stay in ICU, the hospital staff worked around the clock to ensure that his issues were properly managed. Despite all odds, B.H. is currently in his senior year of college, plays semi-professional football, and works two jobs. What was particularly fascinating, was the way the physicians were able to prioritize and execute their management in a dire situation. The intricate thought process of managing the patient as a whole,

In my clinic this week I was taught how to assess the rooms for checked in patients and clients. I found out that before going into the room to talk to the client about the patient I should look at the patient's chart. When looking through the chart I will be able to find out why they are there and if they are due for anything. After assessing what I should ask for the history I go into the room and get as much information as possible. I was told when talking to the client I should ask open-ended questions due to the fact that this will allow the client to give me more detailed answers. While in the room I should also get some vitals unless the patient is aggressive. These vitals are temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, mucus membrane,

As a new literacy coach at a middle and high school level, it is important to first outline your role as the literacy coach. The first things I would do is communicate with the teachers across those grade levels. I would have a meeting with those teachers that clearly outlines my roles and responsibilities as the literacy coach. This will help the teachers to understand what I will be doing and the process in which I will be completing observations and coaching. During this meeting, I would be sure to capture the attention of the teachers in order to make them feel engaged in the process. I would also discuss their role in the professional development and open the meeting up to discuss any concerns or feedback they may have. It will also

From my previous experience, I found that supervision can help significantly to improve my professional practice in work with families, especially with complex cases. Therefore I highly value a regular and structured supervision in the workplace in order to be able to reflecting on and learning from the practice.

coaching has been examined as a staff development model useful for teachers at all school levels and across all career stages. Specifically, researchers have studied peer coaching of pre‐service teachers (Lu, 2010) and novice teachers (Boreen et al., 2000; Portner, 1998); roles and responsibilities (Killion, 2009) and characteristics of coaches (Reiss, 2009); technology integration in the process of coaching (Barron et al., 2009; Scheeler et al., 2010). peer coaching emerged in the early 1980s as a strategy to improve the degree of implementation of new curriculum and instructional

Since the beginning of the course I will say I have learned a lot. My supervisor is not asking me to resubmit reports or emails. Even when I send and email out at work I have started included a thesis and conclusion because I know my staff does not fully ready the entire email. I noticed since I have started doing this, more people are understanding what is going on or they are actually paying attention to my emails. I keep them short and only include pertinent information. I will say I cannot fully utilize the academic writing at work because I have to be objection. The majority of my emails are sent out to inform people what I have noticed that is going wrong with certain polices or the department standard operating procedures. Once this

My reflective clinical practice experience was based on my eight weeks placement in an acute mental health ward in a hospital. I was not sure of what to expect because I have never worked or placed in an acute ward and this was my second placement. Before starting my placement, I visited the ward and was inducted around the ward. This gave me a bit of confidence and reassurance about working in an acute ward.

The clinical supervision model for conducting observations has been used in the education field for decades. Clinical supervision involves a teacher receiving information from an administrator, colleague, peer coach, or mentor, who has observed the teacher's performance and who serves as both a mirror and a sounding board to aid the teacher in critical examination of a specific aspect of their instruction and possibly alter his or her own professional practice. Clinical supervision is an instruction improving tool in which a high degree of mutual trust and commitment to growth is required on the part of the teacher and observer. The structure of a clinical observation cycle includes

Coaching, however challenging, is a great way to influence the lives of others while also building their character. For as long as there have been sports, there have been people teaching the sport to the players and making them better at it. Coaches must have certain qualities in order to obtain success. One must also look at a coach’s motivation for his job, his passion for what he does, his methods for coaching, and how he became a coach in order to fully understand him. There are many questions someone may want to ask a coach about his profession if they are interested in coaching. Some questions would include: Why did he choose this as a profession? How did he get into coaching? What does one have to do to get a job as a coach? How
