One-day clinical supervision training overview

Morning session

• Defining the purpose, scope, and reach of clinical supervision

• Supervision relationships, including:

â—‹ Identifying the key features of productive supervision relationships

â—‹ Consideration of the limits to supervision

â—‹ Exploration of boundaries in supervision

â—‹ Participants practising building supervision relationships

â—‹ Feedback from peers on the simulated activity

• Learning styles and their influence in and on supervision, including participants exploring their learning style and the adjustments required in supervision when working with students with different learning styles

• Domains of supervision introduced:

â—‹ Normative or administrative

â—‹ Formative or educative

â—‹ Restorative or supportive

• Considering the use of power and authority in supervision and through the use of the supervision domains

Afternoon session

• Domains of supervision explored through:

○ Discussion on participants’ experiences of supervision domains

â—‹ Consideration of how the domains intersect

â—‹ Participants practising implementing the domains of supervision

â—‹ Feedback from peers on the simulated activity

• Respectfully acknowledging and working with diversity and difference in clinical supervision

• Practising the provision of constructive feedback followed by feedback from peers on the simulated activity

• Practising ‘authentic’ and ‘challenging’ supervision conversations, including informing a student their performance is not meeting the required standard; this was followed by feedback from peers on the simulated activity

• Consolidation of learning with participants sharing ideas for their future supervision practice
