Theory And Practice Of Supervision

My supervision is always held in a confidential setting, between myself and my Manager. My Manager records details of what has been discussed, targets identified, and achievement target dates to be met by me and my Manager. This is my personal development plan, and helps me to record training received, training identified, and knowledge gained. My supervision is my opportunity to discuss issues I am concerned about. Sometimes prior to my supervision, I write down notes on issues I want to raise, so that I do not forget whilst in my supervision.

‘Supervision aims to identify solutions to problems, improve practise and increase understanding of professional issues,’ (UKCC, 19960

As the standards of the counseling profession are continuously being shaped, I desire to play a role in the educating

Counseling is a tool that is widely used by many people. Merriam Webster’s Learner’s Dictionary defines counseling as advice and support that is given to people to help them deal with problems, and make important decisions. This paper examines the career of a Licensed Professional Counselor, the education requirements, certification and licensure levels or requirements, salary, and the future of this profession.

Counselors have a responsibility to monitor their effectiveness, in order to do this they need someone who is trained to assist them in understanding what is effective. Counselors have to seek supervision when appropriate and in order to do so a program needs to be in place that has supervisors readily available. The absence of clinical supervision may lead to counselors-in-training to lack the necessary skills to be a successful and productive counselor. Counselors need to develop a comprehensive understanding of the setting, population, needs, contexts and tasks of a counselor. As explained by Milne and Oliver (2000), Clinical supervision is central to initial professional training and to continuing professional development. It is necessary for counselors-in-training to refine their skills and get assistance in applying theories to any issues they may encounter with their clients. In addition to the everyday assistance necessary, a supervisor needs to present/model ethical behavior and counseling practices. In any profession the need for improvement is prominent and therefore any assistance and feedback given is appreciated and necessary. Expectations are increasing and therefore supervision is expected. Evidence shows that supervision results in school counselors’ increased effectiveness and accountability, improved professional development, and improved job performance, confidence, and comfort

Therefore, the definition of counselling supervision according to counsellingresource.com (2014) is a counsellor or psychotherapist that reviews their employee’s work for the beneficial of their client. Also, discusses about their professional and personal development. Supervisor does not act as a boss, but as a consultant who gives the counsellor further guidance about how they could overcome their issues.

This model combines a number of theories and models. Supervisors can incorporate different models to suit different scenarios with their supervisees. Bernard’s discrimination model (1979) identifies 3 key elements intervention, conceptualisation and personalisation and 3 possible supervisor

The discrimination model of supervision developed by Bernard & Goodyear, (1998) has three primary focus areas in training novice counselors these include use of intervention, what the supervisee is doing in the session that is observable, conceptualization or how the session work is being conducted and the level of understanding the supervisee has regarding client themes and application of specific counseling session interventions, and personalization, the supervisors own approach or method. This model embeds three essential supervisory roles, teacher, counselor and consultant in providing effective supervision. The teacher's primary

Counseling supervision, the ethical and legal issues, and the multiple relationships that result is a dynamic topic that presents numerous complex issues. The important functions of the supervisory relationship are to teach counseling through a hands-on process, assess, inform, implement, and evaluate the application of theories, ethical and competent practices to prepare the supervisee for their future profession in the counseling field. However, while supervisors play multiple roles in the supervision process, there are situations and times when the boundaries between therapy and supervision are not always clear. During the supervisory relationship it is vital and of the upmost importance that the supervisor model’s ethical behavior and implements the ethical standards of the counseling profession.

When selecting a clinical supervisor, it is important to consider the qualifications of the counselor, their experience, education, certifications, licenses, etc. In this situation, it is important to examine the carefully the concerns of entering into a clinical setting, as well as the particular objective of practicum. Above all, one should be confident that both counselor and counselor in training suit one another individually, and that the level of training is adequate to provide a sound foundation for licensing in professional counseling. On the other hand, it is also a good idea to research possibilities before deciding or to interview several supervisors before settling. Regarding the importance of supervisory placement, Hodges had

I believe that each student is a person who needs a safe, caring, and stimulating environment in which they can grow emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. As a teacher it is my desire that each student reached their fullest potential in each of these areas by providing them a warm, safe, caring and cooperative environment in which they work and play in. As a future administrator the philosophy and the game changes quite a bit. As a supervisor you must know where you are going before you can ever get there. The main attraction of education is, “that it

The proper role of the supervisor is to look for these signs and symptoms and act in a way to help the employee in any way they can to get through the stress they are dealing with in their

supervisor is an air traffic tower chief or an air traffic tower shift leader overseeing the operations in the tower. As an air traffic controller on position gets their weather information from a computer, a supervisor may notice that the weather report is not consistent with tower visibility and decide to change the weather being reported by the automated system. Another example of a supervisor is a pilot flying and aircraft on autopilot. The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft (FAA, 2014). In the event that an error occurs during autopilot, the pilot is required to take over the controls and fix the problem. Human performance under supervisory control is often poor because of the limited task load placed on operators under normal conditions (Endsley, 1995). Due to reduced control involvement of the pilot, the consequences can be a loss of situational awareness and a decay of direct control skills, which are critical for any midair recovery. Figure 2 below shows how automation can affect situational awareness.
