I.3 · Equity in supervision
Treating every supervisee exactly the same sounds fair, but it can still leave some of them behind. Let's look at what equity in supervision actually means and how a behavior analyst checks for it with data.
Key takeaway
Equity means every supervisee gets a fair shot at the same competency standard, even if they need different supports to get there. Keep the standard the same and adjust the supports. Judge performance against objective, written criteria. If you suspect bias, measure how you're handing out feedback, observation time, and opportunities, then change the system and check whether the change worked.
