SUBJECTS COVERED INCLUDE:

Purpose of the Frontline Supervisor Training – “The Why”
We explore why we need to develop and fortify Frontline Supervisors (personal outcomes, financial efficiencies, turnover decrease, staff morale are all parts of “why” we need this program). NADSP “believes” that Frontline Supervisors are the key to quality improvement in all organizations supporting people with disabilities. Using the NADSP Code of Ethics
The values of direct support practice are experienced in an interactive session where participants use the NADSP Code of Ethics in situations of supervision. |
NADSP National Competency Areas – The Foundation of It All
The 15 validated competencies are explored and become ultimately the lenses through which Frontline Supervisors observe and evaluate their staff. National Frontline Supervisor Competencies
The 11 nationally validated Frontline Supervisor competencies are explored. These are the foundation of high-quality Frontline Supervisor Competence and serve as the basis for developing oneself as a manager, supervisor, and leader. |
