| Description: Thissession will identify the ethical guidelines related to the supervisory role of the BCBA. Participants will become familiar with the purpose of supervision, recognize and demonstrate the important features of evidence-based supervision, practice performance feedback and evaluation skills, describe the components of ineffective supervision, discuss steps for ongoing professional development, and engage in roleplay scenarios related to effective supervision. This session will also prepare participants to meet the supervision training requirement as established by the BACB. However, it is being offered independent of the BACB. Participants will be expected to participate and demonstrate competency in roleplay activities. |
