A written piece discussing models of supervision and its importance to the counselling process On entering into education about or practicing as a counsellor, an individual is committing to an ongoing process of supervision. The goal of this counselling supervision is to create a trusting environment in which developing students are able to enhance their skills and competence (Carifio & Hess, 1987; Hess, 1987; Ronnestad & Skovholt, 1993). It is a process of professional and personal development which encourages a counsellor to reach higher levels of competence. This in essence provides an environment for counsellors to discuss their work regularly with an experienced counsellor and supervisor. It is through these supervision meetings that the supervisee is able to reflect on their own practice, drawing from active counselling sessions, the practitioners own thoughts, feelings and reactions and is able to examine these and develop/adapt strategies for client work.
the cycle of learning to enable me to develop my own understanding and as a reflective practitioner I can link this with Schon’s (1983) concepts of reflecting in action and reflecting on action to help improve my actions and professional practice and show that I evaluate my experiences and integrate it to theory and knowledge in supervision (Aids to Practice cards, Values and Ethics, p112). The relevant skill to use with the case study service user is communication. I will start explaining its relevance by looking at why it is an important skill for all social workers to use in their practice.

According to Gravell, (2012:18), the main role of the Teacher is to help learners achieve their chosen programme. Gravell went further to explain that this can be achieved by using various teaching and learning methods whilst taking into account learners individual needs. As a Team leader in the Princes Trust I will wear many hats: friend, judge, mentor, different roles for extracurricular duties. When I say mentor it means many things from a role model to coach to confidant, someone I believe who encourages positive behaviour this could be with the use of more responsibilities in the class room. Helping them improve the skills this could be through communication for example being able to understand situations and resolve differences which will build trust.
Teaching Cadets the importance of trust, obedience, and respect creates positive additions to society. Character is gained through the multiple lessons taught by the instructors, community service, and the Chain of Command. The self-discovering lessons, ambition to correct ones’ flaws and the urge to maintain acceptable habits, develops/strengthens character. Community service is a humbling experience. Cadets are able to give back to their community and through this, Cadets become more sympathetic and motivated to improve their surroundings.
Secondly, children increase social and cognitive development from positive influences that are communicated by teachers. Emphasis around Vygotsky’s theory will explain the basis of social interaction facilitating learning with the benefit of good communication (Eggen & Kauchak, 2010). Thirdly, teachers must develop high level of written and verbal communication skills. This will develop good relationships between the teacher, student and family leading to proper educational practices that will improve student’s overall outcomes will enhance their literacy skill. Finally, educators with effective communication skills prove an ability to adapt teaching methods to suit the needs of students they are supporting (Kearns, 2012), and with appropriate delivery of good communication, student learning increases.
