The Unique Role of the APS Supervisor eLearning
Course Description
APS professionals are exposed to complex situations every day. APS work is so challenging that effective, experienced APS professionals will ideally be independent, quick-thinkers. They must have a broad understanding of topics relating to health and aging, developmental disabilities, mental health, and cultural diversity. To support APS professionals, APS supervisors need to understand all the aspects of APS work in addition to the aspects of quality supervision. Because APS supervisors have one of the most multifaceted and difficult roles within APS programs, a clear understanding of their key roles and responsibilities is important for their success and job satisfaction. In this course we’ll explore the roles of effective supervision, including educational, supportive, and administrative roles. We will examine the tasks and competencies specific to APS Supervisors. Finally, we’ll discuss some issues that can come up when transitioning from peer to supervisor or transitioning into APS as a supervisor and the importance of maintaining professional boundaries.
