Practice supervision

Abstract

This second chapter starts with the key requirements for the welcoming of students and apprentices as newcomers to the practice environment from the perspective of promoting a sense of belongingness. A distinction is made between the needs of practice and workplace learners in the context of apprenticeship and for supervision to be characterised by a facilitative approach. The development of professional identity through practice learning is explored to ensure that supervisors can support a range of learners to explore their values and beliefs as part of a process of authentic professional learning.
