Description
About the Book
Through its emphasis on meeting learning objectives, the Task-Centered Model for Educational Supervision (TCS) accommodates new models of field instruction in social work, teaching accountability in fieldwork supervision and instructing novice social workers in how to be self-initiating and evaluative. The application of the TCS model in various real-life education and practice environments is illustrated by detailed case vignettes throughout the book.
Book Synopsis
This book provides a comprehensive examination of instructional supervision and introduces the Task-Centered Model for Educational Supervision (TCS). It begins by reviewing the history of educational supervision in social work and principles of effective teaching practices in the field. While theories about the principles and purposes of educational supervision abound, it has proven difficult to translate these ideas into a coherent model of supervisory practice. Educational Supervision in Social Work answers that need, presenting in detail TCS, an ordered series of discrete activities that supervisors and supervisees follow during and between supervision meetings. Designed to promote the continuous attainment of learning and practice objectives, TCS accommodates new models of field instruction, addresses common accountability concerns in social work supervision, and teaches practitioners how to be self-initiating and evaluative. Focusing on the practical implementation of TCS, Caspi and Reed have included detailed case vignettes throughout the book that provide concrete examples of putting theory into practice. Both supervisors of interns and staff as well as supervisees will find TCS a helpful tool in the supervisory process.Review Quotes
Represents a milestone in the evolving knowledge base of supervision in social work. Caspi and Reid have creatively incorporated theory and principles into a broad and flexible task-centered model of supervision that delineates processes, the 'how to do' of instructional supervision, in a clear, step-by-step manner. This book will be a boon to all those who seek to enhance the quality of supervision and especially those engaged in field instruction, supervision, and staff development.
