Critical Self-Reflection: Finding Your Way to a More Inclusive Form of Reflective Supervision

Course overview

This 3-hour training, developed for reflective supervisors, explores a multiple lenses approach to reflective supervision. This approach allows reflective supervisors to approach supervisees and their cases from an inclusive perspective for understanding and working within the complexity of early childhood intervention work at the clinical and systems level. This approach is centered in the use and development of critical self-reflection, which the RSC considers the central goal of reflective supervision. After this workshop participants will be able to: 1. Describe why and how a growth-promoting supervisory alliance supports the effectiveness of infant and early childhood services. 2. Describe the Multiple Lenses Framework of Reflective Supervision, how the lenses intertwine, and to apply it to RS. 3. Identify, articulate, and acknowledge the impact of intersectional identities, social location, and unconscious processes on the supervisor-supervisee relationship. 4. Define Critical Self-Reflection and name two ways supervisors may use it to support themselves and supervisees in the workplace.
