My Philosophy of supervision

My philosophy on supervision will be based on

Supervision exists in many societies. Very often, an individual leads or supervises the group or the organization. In higher education, supervision stands out, particularly when it is poor, or the supervisor is poorly organized. Borrowing the words of Wilson et al. (2019), “supervision exists to serve the needs of the individual and the organization and therefore should be unique, developmental and meaningful. On several occasions, I have already been a supervisor: at my Jujutsu Club (self-defense), at the broadcast radio station, bureau of the political party, in the student organization. I was on my pedestal. Classes at Buffalo State College opened other horizons for me and have made me think differently about supervision and my role.

  1. Equity: even children born to the same parents have different personalities and needs. Satisfying the needs of each will allow them to develop harmoniously. The same is true in an organization, like higher education. 
  2. Trust: without confidence, it will not be possible to build safe spaces.
  3. Relationship building: working together with someone, we form a kind of family. Daily interactions should tend towards this goal.
  4. Respect: treat each other as a human. Very often, we devote ourselves to advancing the organization to the detriment of the human being.
  5. Multiculturalism: many cultures meet on campus. Do not have a narrow vision but broaden your horizon to embrace the sociocultural reality of each supervisee.
  6. Transparency: transparent relationships create an environment conducive to supervisory work.
  7. Inclusion: at all levels and in all aspects.

These few points can make me become a super-visor.
