Description:
Supervisor Core Series: Putting the Pieces Together
Effective supervision spans three main areas (Administrative, Educational, and Supportive Supervision) that, while related, are also distinct. Each is an important component or piece of the bigger picture puzzle of child welfare supervision. The 9-day supervisor curriculum developed by the Butler Institute is competency-based so that training participants attain the level of proficiency designated by the competencies. Each 3-day module, ideally delivered between 3-5 weeks apart, emphasizes self-reflection and application to the unique circumstances of each supervisor. All modules are highly interactive and accommodate a variety of learning styles to maximize the learning experience.
This curriculum was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Children’s Bureau, Washington, D.C., as a product of the Western Regional Recruitment and Retention Project (Grant #90CT0117). Revisions to the curriculum were supported by a contract with the Wyoming Department of Family Services. Support to adapt the curriculum for use by any state was provided by the
Module III Training Description: Supportive Supervision focuses on supporting, nurturing, and motivating workers to attain a high level of performance. Within the supportive supervision domain, the primary goal is to improve morale and job satisfaction. Key topics include secondary trauma, conflict management, job satisfaction, and management of a team. Because child welfare work is so demanding and the stress is often high, we’ve integrated humor throughout the module to model the importance of maintaining a positive atmosphere, as well as to make an otherwise difficult subject more engaging. This module reflects the reality of the supervisor’s position as head cheerleader, arbitrator, and counselor.
NOTE: "Supportive Supervision" is the third of three modules for the new supervisory training titled, "Putting the Pieces Together." Supervisors should take modules in sequence.
