Participants will examine the supervisor’s role in developing supervisee competence, confidence, and professional identity. Practical strategies for assessing supervisee needs, providing meaningful support and feedback, and creating purposeful opportunities for professional development will be introduced. Concrete approaches for making supervision more intentional, responsive, and effective will be provided.
