Supervisions need to be ongoing to be as effective as possible and it gives the opportunity to reflect on the development of the staff in the setting. It allows us to reflect and consider outside training for extra support, guidance and the opportunity to refresh some of their skills and even learn new skills. Supervisions help to build relationships with the individual and improve their quality of work and give support to their particular needs, whereas staff meetings are for us all to participate as a team. During supervisions we can assess how the practitioner is finding their role and if they are working with the team. It is important that throughout the supervision the practitioner is getting the support that is needed. There will be a designated mentor to the practitioner so that they can get help and support during their job, also to help with the paper work and how it works. The designated mentor is normally the senior of the room that the member of staff has been placed into. The mentor can also make sure that the practitioner is keeping up to date with their work and that they are doing it correctly. Having the mentor in place can reduce the stress from the practitioner, as many of them are too nervous to ask questions to their manager when they are first starting out in the setting. We also use appraisals as supervisions. This gives the opportunity for all the staff to give feedback about how they feel they are getting on in the setting. Aspects in which the members of staff are struggling with can then be looked at and addressed in the appropriate manner e.g. extra support sessions with their work, more time out to do their work etc. Also during the appraisals they are able to continue personal and professional development activities and plan for the next 6 to 12 months and future goals are also set.…
The discrimination model of supervision developed by Bernard & Goodyear, (1998) has three primary focus areas in training novice counselors these include use of intervention, what the supervisee is doing in the session that is observable, conceptualization or how the session work is being conducted and the level of understanding the supervisee has regarding client themes and application of specific counseling session interventions, and personalization, the supervisors own approach or method. This model embeds three essential supervisory roles, teacher, counselor and consultant in providing effective supervision. The teacher's primary role is to provide the supervisee with instruction in learning techniques and direction to ensure supervisee development in clinical work while also recognizing that client wellbeing is paramount in sessions. The counselor role is to assist the supervisee in identifying personal needs, developing self awareness and addressing performance anxiety which potentially interferes with good practice, and as a consultant who engages the supervisee in a collegial manner in identifying and considering different approaches in treatment planning.…

On Friday the 8th of April, I participated in windsurfing and paddleboarding on Lake Pupuke. I demonstrated Tolerance as my responsible behaviour. This affected my physical safety because I didn't jump ahead of anyone or rush and I took my time so that I would be more safe and listened to the instructions despite that it was repeated many times. I also waited for those who weren't as confident and let them take their time and waited for them to be done so that everyone was safe and I knew that they would be safe.…
The main reason for supervision is to provide support to the member of staff in their cases and in their mental well-being to enhance the over-all level of care which is being provided.

An effective supervisor knows his challenges and work relentlessly to overcome by using the process of teaching and learning. As I reflect on previous interactions and coaching experiences with others teachers, and after the experience I had in class with peer counseling role model, I caught myself lacking on listening skills. Altering the way teachers think about supervision will be a challenge. I will work diligently to listen to teachers and let them be the experts as they unfold to me their teaching experiences. Based on the latter I will provide constructive feedback improving instruction, and ultimately, student performance; leading a team of educators to reach their highest potential. The evaluation system is not effectively providing…
