Objectives
• Participants will be able to…
• Identify the key components of reflective supervision/ consultation.
• Discuss the characteristics of a successful reflective supervision/ consultation session.
• Name 3 approaches to documentation of reflective supervision/ consultation.
Overview of Reflective Supervision
• Reflective supervision/consultation is recognized as valuable and important for all disciplines working with infants, toddlers, and their families
• Use of reflection, especially with a trusted supervisor or mentor, can build skills, combat barriers to relationships, and protect the provider
• The goal of RS/C is to support staff who then support families - and create a more effective working relationship
Building Blocks of Reflective Supervision
• Reflection • RS/C focuses on experiences, thoughts, and feelings directly connected with
the work we do
• Collaboration• Open communication and clear understanding of the reciprocal expectations
of each partner
• Regularity • Reliable schedule, sufficient time to meet, free from interruptions
Parallel Process
• Attention to all of the relationships is important• Parent-child• Parent-provider• Provider-supervisor
• We need to understand how each of these relationships affects the others
You Can’t Do This Alone
“When it’s going well, supervision is a holding environment, a place to feel secure enough to expose insecurities, mistakes, questions and differences.”
Rebecca Shamoon Shanok (1992)
Activity
• Find a partner!
• One person will be the speaker and one is the listener
• The speaker will talk for 5 minutes
• The listener CANNOT comment verbally
• Switch roles when prompted
Reflection
• What was it like to be the listener?
• What was it like to be the speaker?
• Which role was more comfortable for you?
• What was your overall learning from this experience?
What are the characteristics of a “successful” RS/C session?
Types of Measurement
• Rating Scales• Reflective Supervision Rating Scale (Ash, 2010)• Reflective Supervision Self-Efficacy Scale (Shea, Goldberg, & Weatherston, 2012)
• Observational Approaches (live or recorded)• Reflective Interactive Observation Scale (RIOS; Christopher Watson & colleagues)• Reflective Supervision Competency Scale (RSCS; Finello & colleagues)
• Narrative or Internal Approaches
Why is measurement important?
• Assess fidelity to the RS/C model and the quality of sessions • Guide supervisees/participants in the RS/C experience and provide
opportunities for feedback to supervisors/consultants• Measure change to promote RS/C within an organization
(Ash et al., 2016)
Reflective Supervision Rating Scale (Ash, 2010)
• Completed by the supervisee/participant• Rates the degree to which the supervisor/consultant performs
activities that are part of a RS/C interaction• 17 questions sorted into 4 factors
• Reflective process and skills, mentoring, supervision structure, and mentalization
• Ratings: Rarely, Sometimes, Usually, Almost Always
Example RSRS Questions - Reflective Process/Skills
“My supervisor encourages me to talk about emotions I have felt while consulting and working with families.”
“My supervisor has improved my ability to be reflective.”
Example RSRS Questions - Mentoring
“My supervisor makes me feel nurtured, safe, and supported during supervision.”
“My supervisor allows me time to come to my own solutions during supervision.”
Example RSRS Questions - Supervision Structure
“My supervisor’s questions encourage details about my practice to be shared and explored within the supervision session.”
“My supervisor is engaged throughout the entire session.”
Example RSRS Questions - Mentalization
“My supervisor helps me explore cultural considerations in my work.”
“My supervisor wants to know how I feel about my consultation or practice experiences.”
