EDED14285  Supervision of Professional Practice

Supervision is an integral part of the development of a professional practitioner. It involves interaction between the supervisor and supervisee in an environment where the supervisor is a supportive colleague and critical friend rather than an assessor. In this sense, supervision involves two practitioners working together so that both become more professionally effective. This course provides knowledge and ideas for professional practitioners to improve the quality of their supervision. Students will be required to take on a supervisory role of working with a colleague to improve some aspect of her or his practice and examining their role as a supervisor in the process.
