Overview
APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS: DISCUSSION #1: Discuss your current supervision experiences in the field, being sure to maintain professionalism and confidentiality with regard to people and locations. After reviewing the readings for this week, evaluate your current supervisory experience by outlining how each of the practice guidelines presented by Sellers, et al. (2016) in "Recommended Practices for Individual Supervision of Aspiring Behavior Analysts" is evident in your supervision. Based on your evaluation, determine which elements of your supervision experience might be made more effective towards building your skills as a BCBA, and discuss some ideas for implementing strategies towards meeting that goal from both a trainee and a supervisor perspective.
DISCUSSION #2: Consider a personal experience in which a supervisor provided you with feedback related to your performance. Briefly describe the experience and discuss whether the feedback was provided in an evidence-based manner as outlined in Chapter 6 of The Supervisor's Guidebook. Then, following the steps for providing feedback, outline an example of how your supervisor should have provided feedback in a way that is reflective of this evidence-based approach. Finally, explain how reframing this feedback experience will help you be a more effective supervisor to others in your work (parents, direct support, classroom staff, etc.).
