Supervision
for educators, church workers and youth workers
What is Supervision?
“A formal process of professional support and learning that involves reflecting on practice in order to learn from experience.” ~ Kohner 1994
What is it for?
To provide a regular opportunity to reflect on your work
To develop skills and strategies that allow you to be more effective in your role
To gain insight and understanding about why things turned out the way they did
To ensure that you are not left to carry alone, difficulties, problems etc, as a result of the work that you do
To have space to offload and express personal responses and feelings that arise as a result of your work
To manage yourself in your role
To check decisions and choices you have made in the course of your work
Why have it?
Supervision is a mechanism for improving the quality of service to those being served.
Maintaining and safeguarding standards of practice
Valuing the development of professionals and practice knowledge
I have been seeing Julie for almost a year now! After getting a new job I was in the market for a supervisor, Julie and I clicked right away. So much so, I look forward to our sessions each month. It is a time for me to reflect and Julie creates such a safe and open space for me to do so.
Julie challenges me to think deeper, and I truly feel she wants me to be the best person I can be. I also appreciate how welcoming she is in her home, and she has an adorable cat, Poppy, who likes to pop in from time to time.
If you are in the market for a supervisor who challenges your thinking in a constructive, yet warm way - Julie is your person!
