Supervisor Reflection

Every action a person takes is the result of having thought about what it is they think they should do and then doing it. Life is riddled with problems that require solving. Decisions are complex matters that require careful judgment and problem analysis especially when one is in a role where others look up to them and are affected by their decisions.

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

In the Navy and Marine Corps providing feedback and counseling to Sailors and Marines is a critical skill that every leader must possess. For this assignment, I was tasked with providing counseling and guidance to a struggling 3/C Midshipmen in my company on how they could improve in meeting the standards with regards to morally, mentally, and physically. For the counseling, I chose 3/C Burns who was struggling academically with a D at six weeks in Thermodynamics, a major course in his matrix. With this Midshipman struggling to meet the mission mentally, I was keen on attacking the issue before it developed into a major problem by providing advice, counseling, and a personal story of being in his place before.

First, I learned that I need further development or additional polishing in numerous facets of becoming an effective communicator, and these aspects are audience analysis and strategy, oral communication, team communication, and corporate communication. After completing the Communication Development Plan, I am beginning to learn how to analyze audiences and develop a thorough communication strategy efficiently. Also, I am learning how to deliver impromptu or planned presentations efficiently, and I am starting to become more comfortable and less hesitant in giving presentations. After analyzing the Communication Development Plan and through class assignments, I have become more creative and relaxed in the team situations. Additionally, I have gained insight on how to effortlessly communicate in a corporate environment, and that I can apply what I learned in this class to my workplace. Lastly, I gained valuable knowledge and insight that can aid my professional growth.

Since, I am going to start working as the Account Manager Starting July 11, I would like to take the chance send you a projected schedule for the week of the 7/11-7/17. I have strategically moved around a couple of officers, such as Tatiana Kania, she will be my successor and be moving to the Monday- Friday slot as a Shift Supervisor. Just to provide some insight on Tatiana, she was standing as a 3rd shift supervisor while Ana Penaloza was out on leave a month ago. She did a very great job and I feel confident in her ability as the second shift Supervisor. Another change that I wanted to make to the staff was, moving Steven Gibbs to 2nd Shift Weekend Supervisor. Steven Gibbs has been struggling a little in the pasted month with over-escalating

I responsible for a final check on the plan which we drafted in AutoCad, and then I converted them to Caltrans’ Microstation before submitting the plan to Caltrans. I remembered the time when our CEO and us spent three days to wrap up the Highway project plan. Each one of us only had a couple hours of sleep. Even though we worked straight from today morning to the next morning in three days, everyone seemed very dedicate most effort to finish the project on time. People ran up and down, side to side mingling in laugh and humming, the undocumented drafts are everywhere, the yelling from one to another in exchanging the plan set had created a triumph in the office. We had finally submitted the plan on time. Our CEO later had taken us in Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course to play 9

despite my lackluster first impression at a job fair. DeAnna was a St. Stephens graduate

In the beginning of this project we were required to get someone to be our mentor. The requirements of the mentor is to help us with our information and to help us add depth to our paper and powerpoint. During the semester that we were given to make our project we had to meet with our mentor two times and communicate through email.

When working as a team, the lead interpreter’s “process is buoyed by the additional information fed by the second, and guided to a more accurate and conclusive interpretation. It actively supports the overall performance” (Kinsella, 1997, p. 115). My colleague provided me with strong, helpful support offering me enhancing feeds, corrections, and confirmations, that all aided in the improvement of my interpretation. While some of how she gave me assistance, and some of how I requested information differed from our pre-assignment discussion, as whole, I feel we worked together effectively, and this was a good experience to dissect how we functioned as a team.

I have observed that each student is treated on a student to student basis. Some students within the class have access to instructional assistants as they do their work, whether it’s a day treatment teacher, a student teacher, or myself. For example, I am normally instructed to help one student in particular as we work on assignments and worksheets within the class. This shows that the teacher is aware that the student may need help understanding some of the material and may need personal support throughout the day. Not only do some students receive support from other instructors, but also some students may have accessed to modified assignments to help them further understand. Mr. Conway understands that not all students can learn in the same way and it is important to have different alternatives available to his students. By doing this, the students tend to be more willing to try to understand the topic in one of the two or three ways since

What a term this has been. I have learned so much over this summer. I always felt in my heart that I wanted to be a supervisor for incoming clinicians and this course has solidified my passion. Since ones professional development is a lifelong process. I think the supervisor and supervisee relationship is essential for professional growth. Personally I know that every supervisor in my career has left a lasting impression and contributed to my professional development because of their dedication to training, supervising, and teaching me all that they could. As a result I did not want to provide my students with poor supervision and I wanted them to have my knowledge and “expertise” and pitfalls. I wanted to create a space where my supervisees

In September of 2016 I was made aware of the Peer Mentorship program and my high school and immediately knew that I wanted to become a mentor as being able to help others has also been a desire of mine. I have since been tutoring a handful of my peers in math, biology, chemistry and physics at all high school levels. While I don't have an undeviating schedule, I typically have a few sessions (anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour) per week. My experience as a mentor up until now has given me an increased level of consciousness regarding the intricacy, significance, and benefits of teaching others. Being presented with the opportunity to teach others has prompted me to amplify my communicative skills. I have also gained self-confidence. Being

As I reflect back over this article, I learned that a client can take the consultant advise if they want to. From my perspective, this article needs more research. The article does not provide enough information how the authors obtained their data. After reading this article, I learned about different ecological approaches. As a consultant, I would need training and continuing education to stay current on the approaches that

After completing the self-assessment for module #2, I was a bit surprised to discover I scored 40% in directive supervision and 40% in nondirective supervision. Before completing this assessment I thought for sure I would score higher in collaborative supervision. However, after learning more about Glickman’s supervisory approaches, I quickly realized that my definition of collaborative supervision was not accurate. I thought collaborative supervision was one size fits all. I believed teachers needed and wanted reflective problem solving with the goal of working together to figure out a solution. What I didn’t take into consideration is where the teacher was in their personal and professional development. It makes sense to me now how collaborative

In my new position, how soon I was to report for work depended on the day, but I was rarely required to be there earlier than an hour before doors except on opening day. On that day, I helped Joan transform the tall, wheeled box into a wide novelty stand with a long front table, and a tall three-sectioned back stuffed to the gills with brightly colored toys and posters. Giant pink elephants and other vinyl required inflation before being attached to dowels with a rubber band. I was most thankful for the portable air pump then. We filled tables with stuffed animals and clowns, brightly colored banners, posters, programs and a myriad of other items designed to tempt ticket holders. I also assisted with tear-down on load-out night,
