...Supervision, Consultation, and Advocacy Lauren Young Survey of Research in Human Development for Professional Counselors Fall Quarter 2013 Abstract Inside the draft includes an evaluation of two supervision models for mental health. The benefits of a supervisor and a supervisee are narrated during the training process and once the training process is completed. The ethical importance of clinical supervision is defined and supported in the draft. Consultation and advocacy are both defined for the field of counseling as well as compared and contrasted for the mental health specialization. One can relate the role of advocacy and consultation as she becomes a professional counselor within mental health. Institutional and social barriers that might impede or hinder the access and equity of success for ones clients is also discussed. In addition, strategies are deliberated that one can utilize in their work to address multicultural issues and advocate for diverse populations. Lastly, one develops a hypothetical example of consultation for a couple. Clinical Supervision According to Milne and Oliver (2000), “clinical supervision is central to initial professional training and to continuing professional development, taking up a significant proportion of mental health professionals’ time” (p. 291). An integrated approach to supervision has been developed by combining the developmental model of Littrell, Lee-Borden, and Lorenz (1979) and Bernard's (1979, 1997) discrimination...

...According to the case study, the main problem is the packaging department is lack of supervisor. This department is being taken over by two supervisors, however, the packaging operation house separates with other departments, so supervisor seldom visit them. Those under panopticism are aware that they may being observed but never sure they are actually being watched at that moment. (Clegg et al. 2011 P451) The workers need to improve their efficiency and quality because the buyers will look closely at the packaging when deciding whether to buy from Treetop or another mill. Although this company is competitive in the market because of the quality, a large number of consumers switched to the competitors. Even if other departments have improved productivity and reduced operation to just one shift per day. With the problems caused by the packaging department, like decreasing in productivity, which prevent the smoothing functioning of the whole factory. The morning shift of the packaging department is unable to keep up with the combined production of the sawmill and planner departments, so the unpackaged output left for the afternoon shift. So that the company's industrial chain tends to collapse, which decline the profit of the whole company. Those managing and being managed should create more value than would be paid to them in wages and salaries. (Clegg et al. 2011, P458) Because of this. The manager’s key task as ensuring that organisation goals-because where individuals worked...

...For a company to be successful, supervision is a vital part of a workplace. Management needs to ensure that supervision (their supervisors) is competent, knowledgeable, skilled, proficient, and fit to be supervisors. Employees must have proper instruction and training to guarantee that they are doing their jobs correctly. Supervision remains necessary for continuing skill and experience among associates. Poor supervision leads to problems and confiscates an essential part of the employee support process which in turn eliminates the opportunity for learning and reference. Also with poor supervision, employees are more likely to feel that their work is valued by the company. In this scenario at the XYZ Company, this is an example of poor supervision. The supervisor in charge of this particular section did not communicate that a new program was being implemented throughout the company. This supervisor is not present enough which caused the employees to react with resentment and displeasure in their work. Overview of the Organization and Case Study XYZ is an insurance company that provides car insurance to millions of people. The company is well known for its outstanding customer service. The situation is that a lack of communication from a particular supervisor in regards to the implementation of an important program is affecting the morale of the section and will affect the customer service that the company is well known for. The company received a new program that...

...Theory Y is the assumption that most employees enjoy work, seek responsibility and can self direct. I believe each individual Supervisor’s style is based on their belief about what inspires members of their team. A good supervisor knows the type of team they are working with and should be able to adapt their management style all while accomplishing departmental/overall company goals. You can change your approach accordingly by understanding how your belief of what inspires your team and by doing this you manage more effectively. In my opinion an Autocratic Supervisor would be managing Theory X people. This is because they would use pressure to get the work done or even threaten disciplinary action to force favorable results. General Supervision within a Theory Y workgroup is more favorable because the team wants to get the job done, enjoys doing it and accepts responsibility for getting it done. Theory Y would be inappropriate for all supervisors because as discussed, when it comes to people, all work ethic is not the same. For Example, In my opinion, a Theory Y supervisor would not be appropriate in a situation after a crisis or disaster where people are looking for firm direction to get a job done. They don’t want self-direction or the ability to make decisions on their own they want to be lead and they want to be pressured to make sure...

...Supervision Altheria Stevens Delaney Walden University Supervision The job of a supervisor of a mental health professional counselor encompasses many roles and responsibilities. Many supervisors subscribe to different supervision models, however this paper focuses on the discrimination model and will explain how to apply each of the supervisory roles with the case of Michael, the supervisee in the case study. This paper will also incorporate a description and justification of a skills that is most relevant to the role. Lastly, I will explain the supervisor’s role and skill set as noted in the discrimination model of supervision. Applying and Explaining Supervisory Roles This is where you introduce the ideas of effective characteristics and behaviors. Be sure to support your points with the learning resources. Using multiple resources will support your points further. Supervisors of mental health professionals train, mentor, teach, encourage and challenge counselors who are new to the field (Young & Bashman, 2010). They are individuals that have been counseling for a while, who take time out to guide and assist people that are new to field (Young & Bashman, 2010). There are many roles and responsibility that a supervisor has and a number of theories that they may incorporate into their personal doctrine. The discrimination model is a theory that includes three skills (intervention, conceptualization and personalization) and roles (teacher, counselor, and consultant)...

...Running Head: PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION Personal Philosophy of Supervision Andrea Byars EDA 551 Supervision and Instructional Leadership Grand Canyon University December 15, 2010 Personal Philosophy of Supervision Jean Jacques Rousseau once made the statement that, “Plants are shaped by cultivation and men by education. ... We are born weak, we need strength; we are born totally unprovided, we need aid; we are born stupid, we need judgment. Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given us by education”. This statement makes it clear that it is imperative that students be taught how to think and speak in a proper manner so that they will be able to rationalize truths for themselves; thus meaning that administrators need to believe in, value, and be committed to the educability of all. Why then, is it important for an educational leader to have a personal philosophy regarding supervision? Establishing values and beliefs is essential to a person becoming an effective leader. Buddha once said, “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense” (53 BC -483 BC). Glickman, Gordon, and Ross-Gordon, wrote “…a supervisor’s actions in working with teachers are based on supervisory beliefs, which in turn reflect a broader educational philosophy” (pg. 96). This means that the fundamental purpose of a leader’s supervisory stance...

...The style of community supervision has changed over time. Community supervision has changed from a casework approach where supervisors were directly involved in the rehabilitation program of the offenders to a surveillance approach. The surveillance approach plays emphasis on monitoring and ensuring that offenders comply with the stipulated community supervision rules (Seiter, 2010). The reasons why current supervision is different from previous supervision comprises the inclusion of more supervision conditions that are effective in detecting any form of violation. For instance, offenders are subjected to alcohol testing. Further, to avoid risk factors associated with offenders under supervision, offenders are grouped into aggregate groups as opposed to previous individual supervision. In addition, a large number of current parole officers are trained to enforce the law and thus they lack in psychology and sociology training which was common in the previous approach. Previous supervision allowed minimum violation in the quest of dealing with other rehabilitation issues while the current supervision does not allow for any form of violation (Seiter, 2010). The current community supervision style has downsides because it has proved to be expensive due to the increasing number of revocations in the pursuit to ensure that the system upholds the provisions of surveillance. Further, offenders whose community supervision is revoked find it hard to reintegrate back to the community...

...Markus Sinclair March 23, 2013 HRDT 6666 Professor Williams Unit Assignment 8- Clinical Supervision Summary The purpose of clinical supervision is to assist the teacher to learn from his or her experience and progress in expertise, as well as to ensure good service to the student. It is not only an observation but also an existence. The author points out that most teachers have a negative view of supervision and the relationship between the teacher and supervisor can be hostile and only provides summative evaluation. To counteract the situation, the clinical supervision model was introduced to propose that teachers can be familiar with the evaluate approach of clinical supervision. Under this model, the following supervisory requirements for successful implementation of clinical supervision are identified: teachers should learn specific intellectual and behavioral skills to improve instruction. Supervisors should take responsibility for helping teachers to develop skills for analyzing the instructional process and emphasize what and how teachers teach, to improve instruction not to change the teacher’s personality. Planning and analysis should center on making and testing instructional hypotheses based on observational evidence. The planning conference is to establish a common frame of reference for the planning observation, also establish rapport between the teacher and those supervising. The lesson plans should be implemented during the observation and discussed. Observation:...

...Running Head: DELEGATION AND SUPERVISION Delegation and Supervision Delegation and Supervision In the area of nursing, delegation and supervision often go hand in hand. Supervising is providing guidance for a specific nursing task. A qualified nurse with the goal of making sure the task is accomplished properly and correctly does this supervision. Usually this is the job of a nurse manager and that person is liable for assigning, delegating and supervising of activities. If the manager fails to assign, delegate and supervise these activities within acceptable standards of nursing practice, she can be accused of malpractice. Delegation is assigning a task to another person who is competent and qualified to perform that task. Only the task can be delegated. The person performing the task must have the knowledge, skill, and judgment to complete it. According to Yoder-Wise (p. 65) delegation is the transfer of responsibility for the performance of an activity from one individual to another, with the delegator retaining accountability for the outcome. An example of this is when the RN delegates some of the patient ADL’s to a CNA or a tech. When the RN delegates these tasks, he/she retain the accountability and responsibility for making sure that that delegated tasks is actually completed in a competent manner. The benefits of delegating a task are that the RN has more time to complete the multitude of things on her work list. The barriers are that the...

...School Supervision and Administration Situation: The Non Existing School Staff traditionally organizes a welcoming meeting for the new teachers. After they have been tested and accepted as part of the School Staff, they are to get in contact with the views and perspective that represents the soul of the School and the community. The administration and supervision members, all together talk about the values, the vision and the mission they stand for as an institution. After the meeting one of the new teachers, Mr. Smith approaches to the Human Resources Director and tells him: - Mr. Smith: I am really nervous. I do not know if I am going to be capable of succeeding and meeting all the needs of my students. I think I would be better for me to quit it now. - Mrs. Purera (Principal): Sorry to interrupt, but I couldn´t help to listen what you said. I want to say something to you that might help you clear your mind and give you strengths to stay. - Mr. Smith: What is that you have to tell me that can change my mind? -Mrs. Purera: As part of a eclectic and open to diversity Institution, you and you colleagues must have a purpose that guides you and goals to achieve. You need to be aware of what is within yourselves to give, in order to help others and to inspire others.

...Ixia Morales Principles of Supervision Week 2 Homework Do you think anyone involved in the Stamford Supervisors case acted unethically? Why or why not? My opinion is that the supervisors acted unethically. I don’t think the employees where acting unethically because they were just doing what they were asked to do by the boss. The reason I think it was unethical of them is because they are a Government agency. If their job is to maintain the city’s quality of life, they should have given the money back to the city for improvements instead of using the money for their parties and such. Furthermore, they should have kept a log of how much money was collected every day and turned it into the city. I would not be surprised if some of the supervisors where keeping some of the money for their own personal use. If there had been a whistle-blower early on in the situation, do you think the problem would have grown as large as it did? Why or why not? I think it depends when the whistle-blower came out. For example, if the whistle blower came out 30 years ago, when the practice first started it probably would not have been a big deal. Thirty years ago ethics was not a major concern. Also, since the practice has just started, the amount of money would not have been as large. If the issue would have been raised 10 or 20 years ago, I think the problem would have been resolved. The officials would have given the supervisors clear guidelines about what to do with the scrap...
