Choosing a Supervisor

What each supervisor brings to the supervision relationship depends on their background and how they work and what they have to offer. I encourage you to read as many articles and research supervisors' backgrounds before engaging them.

How is supervision conducted?
Many schools train supervisors to use a coaching approach which is non- directive. Is your supervisor able to teach and direct you? Will there be sharing of resources or will you be expected to research topics and learn purely by experience?
Look closely at the speciality of any particular supervisor and check as to whether they have trained and worked as a professional coach?
