Brief Description
Designed to acquaint the prospective supervisor to some of the demands and functions of supervision.
Full Description
This 40-hour pre-supervisors’ course is designed to acquaint the prospective supervisor with an awareness of the demands and functions of the world of supervision.  All too often, the newly appointed supervisor subsequently finds himself or herself immersed in a ‘world’ he or she didn’t anticipate and/or doesn’t understand. The transition from effective line worker to effective supervisor is difficult and challenging.  This course seeks to remedy the process by ensuring:

Participants are confronted with a variety of ‘real life’ supervisory scenarios.

Participants can identify the systemic functions of supervision, rather than developing specific supervisory skills the participant may or may not use dependent upon promotional opportunities or personal incentive.

It promotes an understanding of the role of the supervisor, an awareness of what the student brings to the position, and what that 'fit' looks like.

It provides both the student and the organization a realistic framework from which to decide if this is a direction they wish to pursue.

Participants will develop an awareness of:

• The ‘world’ of the supervisor both in terms of its ‘challenges’ and ‘opportunities’.
• Their personal assets and liabilities as they relate to supervision.
• The systemic forces that often fragment organizations and work units and create internal conflict.
• An understanding of the challenges the first line supervisor faces in creating ‘organizational partnership’ at all levels.
• How to create an agency culture that promotes and enhances teamwork and collaboration.
• The role of ‘conflict’ in an organization and how it can help or hinder in moving toward mission accomplishment.
• Their 'Emotional Intelligence' and how it applies to the world of supervision.
