Its focus on developing your Supervisor Identity: the confidence, clarity and reflective capacity to supervise in a way that’s aligned with your values, ethics, and strengths.
Whether you're new to supervision or returning to it with fresh eyes, this program offers the tools, reflection space and community you need to supervise with purpose.
You’ll also leave with:
Week 1 – Foundations of Supervision
We begin by exploring what supervision is (and isn’t), its core functions, and how it aligns with the AASW Code of Ethics. You’ll reflect on your values and clarify your “why” for becoming a supervisor.
Week 2 – Models & Ethical Frameworks
We’ll look at common supervision models and ethical decision-making in supervision. You’ll reflect on what supervision approach fits you and begin building confidence in your own strengths.
Week 3 – Supervision Relationships
A good supervision relationship is built on trust, safety, and clarity. We’ll unpack power, boundaries, dual roles, and introduce the supervision agreement. You’ll explore your role in fostering ethical and inclusive relationships. You will unpack your relational self (think emotional intelligence) as a supervisor.
Week 4 – Tools, Feedback & Inclusive Practice
This week is about feedback, structure and systems. We’ll work with feedback session structure tools, and inclusive practice strategies and consider what tools best align with your approach. You will explore your supervisor identity in action.
Week 5 – Challenges, Boundaries & Niche
We’ll explore what happens when supervision gets tough: resistance, distress, ethical concerns, and self-doubt. You’ll identify your niche, clarify your boundaries, and reflect on how to stay grounded in your values as a supervisor.
Week 6 – Marketing, Mindset & Growth
In our final session, you’ll consolidate everything into your Supervisor Identity Statement and create your Supervision Plan. We’ll also explore marketing (without ick), how you show up as an organisational supervisor (if this is your role), mindset, and what’s next for your supervision journey.
