Balancing Dual Roles: Administrative and Reflective Supervision

Supervisors who provide both administrative and reflective supervision are in a unique position to support their staff. Yet, it can appear that the goals and strategies for these supervisory roles are at odds. This workshop will consider whether and how supervisors can integrate guidance related to administrative tasks within the co-created reflective relationship. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the role of the supervisor and the supervisee; as well as the importance of critical reflection, social location, and perceptions of power and privilege as we consider ways administrative and reflective supervision can be blended to support staff and promote high-quality services offered to children and families.
