In this first segment of the series, we will discuss what competent supervision is, analyze definitions of clinical supervision, and describe the benefits of competency-based supervision. We will explore the groundwork & rationale of effective supervision; examine the impact of cultural competence in terms of discrimination, microaggressions, and power differentials; and apply concept learning to case studies in breakout sessions.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Define what supervision is and how to become a competent supervisor.
• Implement survey feedback from supervisees regarding their concerns about ineffective supervision.
• Address stages from the Learning Cycle of performance, observation, reflection, feedback/evaluation, and planning.
• Apply the Learning Cycle to a new supervisee in a breakout session.
• Differentiate Myths vs. Facts of Supervisor’s perceptions.
