Supervision training by the Monash Centre for Scholarship in Health Education draws on three key aspects of supervision; Normative, Formative and Restorative. The training will support participants to explore the functions of supervision across their different workplace contexts and evaluate the benefits and challenges of different supervision models for learners and colleagues to facilitate effective supervision. It will provide skills in providing effective performance feedback and how feedback and other strategies may be used to develop students and colleagues practice and support those in difficulty. Through a range of active learning strategies participants will be supported to reflect on their existing practice. Engaging in a post-workshop reflective diary exercise based on evidence of effect, participants will have the opportunity to practise the supervisory skills learnt in the workshop and continue to reflect on and advance their supervisory practice.
