Plan and Organize

Determine expectations & necessary skills:

When meeting with students during your first supervision session, be clear about expectations that will be placed on them in the agency and minimum knowledge and skills required to be successful.  Ask students what they would expect of you, as the Agency Field Instructor, and describe your supervision/teaching style so you both can start with clear expectations.


Develop Orientation Plan: A thorough orientation is critically important in setting up students for success.
