Mastering the Roles of Supervision

This training:

  • Introduces the concept of the Competing Values Framework
  • Describes the often competing roles associated with being an effective supervisor
  • Explains the levels of mastery of a skill
  • Provides strategies for assessing and monitoring your progress through the levels of supervisory mastery

Structure

The training consists of two modules. The first module introduces the Competing Values Framework and the associated supervisor roles. Each role is explained briefly, through simulated conversations with "real" supervisors.

The second module asks and answers the question, "What is mastery?" A number of self-assessment tools and interactive elements help you to chart your course to becoming the best supervisor you can be!

A blog is available at the end of the course, for you and other participants to share your experiences with the course and supervision in general!
