Supervision is an art and a science, and rarely are supervisory skills overtly taught. Unfortunately, many of us develop our supervisory styles through reflection on disappointing experiences either with former supervisors or difficult staff interactions. Given the espoused values of Student Affairs, we should be especially committed to thoughtful and purpose-driven supervision. Our ethical, legal, and educational obligations demand that we cultivate versatile mentoring, training, and management skills in support of our staff's and students' learning and success.
This is the first of three sessions (see also #31 & #32) designed to focus on different and important dimensions of the supervisory relationship with individuals and teams. They are intended for supervisors at all experience levels. Newer supervisors will find it useful for developing their skills and style. More experienced supervisors will have an opportunity to reflect upon, refine, and advance their commitments to effective practice. Seasoned supervisors can draw on these sessions for their training responsibilities.
This webinar will focus on supervision of students generally, as well as particular considerations for general department and office employees, peer and resident mentors and advisors, and graduate assistants. Regardless of the particular duties or roles, supervisors have a unique and under-appreciated role in professional socialization and development and learning. We will discuss strategies for establishing and caring for this unique supervisory experience.

- Understanding student supervision as a unique form of teaching and mentorship
