supervision
The purpose of our supervision is to provide TA practitioners with a space in which to stand back and gain perspective on their work. We provide three types of supervision, plus TA exam preparation and training for potential and actual supervisors:
- one-to-one: for 1 to 2 hours, this format provides complete confidentiality.
- small groups: with up to three meetings for three hours monthly this provides and ongoing setting to follow trough practice with a professionally intimate group of practitioners at similar level.
- large groups: provides an excellent opportunity for explaining the systemic issues of organisations and groups — and can provide practitioners also with an opportunity to practice and experiment with their work.
- TA exam preparation: either one-to-one or in groups at CTA level this format is for exploring case study issues, and for practising with different types of professional application and oral exam practice. At TSTA level there is opportunity for observation and feedback on teaching and supervising.
- supervisor training: Rosemary Napper TSTA O&E offers occasional training intensives for supervisors with Trudi Newton TSTA E. These workshops involve supervision theory as practice and also provide modelling.
Keith Tudor will be offering individual and group supervision in Oxford on Monday 30th March 2009. He has written extensively on the subject: an article on TA supervision (published in the TAJ), as well as two edited books Freedom to Practise (PCCS Books, 2004, 2007). He is particularly interested in a co-creative approach to supervision, and in a person-centred (as distinct from client-centred) approach to this reflective, meta-activity.
