Effective Supervision: Developing Affirming Ethical Systems
Noor Y. Syed, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA/LBS
Lauren Allen, PhD, BCBA-D, NCSP, LP
This workshop will describe actionable ways supervisors can proactively create more successful supervisory environments, including but not limited to engaging in affirming supervisory practices and supporting supervisee skill development. Attendees will discuss how supervisors can prevent, recognize, and respond to burnout for themselves and those they support, including how to build sustainable supervision systems that will allow for shared responsibility. Finally, attendees will analyze ethical supervision scenarios and will discuss ways to respond to support ethical outcomes.

Behavioral Supervision: Focusing on Fidelity and Performance Feedback

Shawn P. Quigley, PhD, BCBA-D, CDE
Helena Maguire, MS, LABA, BCBA, CDE
Organizations exist to accomplish a mission. Defining the mission, creating service delivery systems, and measuring performance of the systems allows organizational leadership to measure progress toward achieving the mission. A key component of organizational mission success is the employees conducting the work supportive of the mission. Behavioral supervision is a science-based approach for employees to learn, exhibit, and maintain mission focused behaviors. A key skill for supervisors is the identification of performance indicators and to provide feedback to employees about their performance. Feedback may be difficult generally and become more complicated if an employee is not pleased with the feedback provided (e.g., arguments about the feedback). During this workshop attendees will review a behavioral supervision framework (e.g., Luiselli et al., 2021; Maguire et al., 2022; Parsons et al., 2012) and how it supports ethical decision making (e.g., Pollard et al., 2021). Attendees will also learn a process for delivering feedback and practice the skills.
