ABA Exam CoachLessons · I. Personnel Supervision and Management
I.2 · Building strong supervisory relationships
"Be more on top of things" might be the least helpful feedback a supervisee can get. Let's look at what effective supervisors do instead, from the first signed contract to the feedback that actually changes behavior.
Key takeaway
Treat supervision like any behavior-analytic intervention. Start with a written contract, state expectations as observable, measurable behaviors with mastery criteria, teach new skills with behavioral skills training, and give frequent, specific, timely feedback based on direct observation. Feedback goes both ways, so good supervisors ask for feedback on their own performance and act on it.
