Session 1 - Understanding The Developmental Journey: Student Professional Growth and Supervision. (N/NY)
Session Description: What do students need? Explore the common experiences of students as novices and what they need to succeed. Discover the discrimination model’s roles of teacher, helper, listener, and consultant as well as a range of universal precautions intervention strategies that supervisors can utilize to protect the vulnerabilities of students while keeping them engaged. How does artmaking contribute to their development at this stage? By identifying the common developmental milestones of the student practitioner, the educator and supervisor becomes better equipped to effectively intervene and support the student by meeting them where they are developmentally. What are the unique struggles of second-career or interdisciplinary students?
Session 2 - Understanding The Developmental Journey: Growth in New to Experienced Professionals. (N/NY)
Session Description: What are the shared experiences in the transition from new professional to experienced professional? While new professionals may rely on the supervisor for concrete answers, how do they develop the capacity for self-assessment while continuing to grow within the supervisory relationship? Learn about the developmental shifts that can lead to experiences of stagnation or deep, meaningful work. How can professionals recognize when they are at risk of stagnation and what strategies can they use to overcome this phase? How does the supervisor become internalized over time leading to a capacity for autonomy? How do their needs for support, art making, and supervision also shift and how can supervisors' best position themselves to evolve in the supervisory relationship? Learn about the evolution that can offer a path of deeply satisfying work in the seasoned professional.
Session 3 - Understanding The Developmental Journey: Developing Supervisors and Supervision Practices. (N/NY)
Session Description: What do art therapy professionals need to make the transition to supervisor? What are the competencies of supervisors and how do they further evolve into master clinicians and become catalysts towards generativity in the field? The supervisory relationship can create a process that repeats with supervisee’s work with other clinicians that they, in turn, supervise. In that way, we are modeling how to be a supervisor in every moment of supervision. Senior clinicians become adept at moving through the roles of teacher, helper, listener, and consultant in the supervisory process. Learn a model that allows the supervisor to work with intent.
