This course is also available as part of a larger 10.5 hour program, course #e219.

This 2-hour course contains modules 1 and 2. Module 1 will discuss the dynamic nature of the supervisor-student relationship. By reviewing evidence-based research on supervision, we discovered that students’ perceptions of their roles as supervisees can impact their level of self-efficacy and the working alliances they form with their supervisors.

Module 2 will discuss the importance of individualizing styles and levels of supervision, and provide evidence-based research and suggestions for how to individualize your approach to supervision for each student. We will expand on what we’ve learned about the expectations and responsibilities of supervisors and student clinicians by reviewing some of the key components of Jean Anderson’s seminal work on supervision in Speech-Language Pathology.

Course is offered for 0.2 ASHA CEUs – 2 Contact Hours.
