Ep28 Shaping Supervisors to be Suns not Shooting Stars with Dr. Tyra Sellers (SUPERVISION)
Supervision is something that all incoming BCBAs will experience and many BCBAs will chose to provide. But it isn’t as easy as checking off a task list and signing documents. Humans are complex and we each come with our own unique set of contingencies, teaching, learning, and feedback styles. We want our supervisees to shine bright for years, not be a shooting star who burns out quickly. Come join us as we meet with Dr. Tyra Sellers, JD, PhD, BCBA-D, AND co-author of the book Building and Sustaining Meaningful and Effective Relationships As A Supervisor and Mentor, to delve more into the vast galaxy that is supervision. It’s sure to be a stellar time!
Learning Objectives:
1. Discriminate between situations in which professionalism will look different based on your audience.
2. Describe uncomfortable situations that may occur during supervision and best practices for working through this discomfort.
3. Discuss the importance of being flexible during the supervision experience.
Take Aways- your bite-sized educational noms
- Everyone comes with their own unique set of learning histories, preferences, and knowledge. Supervisors need to ensure that they are taking these individual differences into account when supervising. With someone with a strong background in applied, they may need minimal assistance with completing the task list but may require more support in the area experimental analysis. Or someone may come from a theoretical, research background and may require more assistance with application in a treatment setting.
- Not only should supervising BCBAs be aware of their supervisee’s educational and application background they should also be aware that everyone comes with their own histories regarding feedback and instructions. These should also be individually tailored to supervisees. Feedback goes both ways and both parties need to have an understanding of the purpose behind feedback and further instructions.
- Yet another area of consideration is the cultural backgrounds of supervisees. We need to provide a supervisory experience that is judgement free.
- While these considerations may seem intimidating, consider the vast array of creative possibilities and learning opportunities for everyone! What may seem to a barrier, may really a learning opportunity. Learning to be creative and flexible can greatly improve treatment, consultations, and the overall supervisory experience.
