Peer and Group Practical Supervision and Assessment
Overview
In this unit the participants will learn how to give and receive feedback in the supervisory process. With the aim of enhancing supervisee’s effectiveness, participants will also know the difference between summative and facilitative evaluation in order to achieve ongoing feedback and evaluation in the supervisory relationship. Provision of supervision in a range of contexts is covered with discussion around the differences between formal supervision, informal peer supervision, mentoring and group supervision. This is aimed to assist students in learning specific skill sets to adapt to various roles and effectively navigate the range of settings and modes in which supervision is provided.
