Conference "Professional Supervision: Common threads, different patterns" 2010

Moana Eruera & Gaylene Stevens (NZ)

Pre-conference Workshop Thursday 29th April - Te Whiriwhiringa o te kete - Weaving the past into the present for the future

Workshop Overview:


Moana Eruera & Gaylene Stevens

Supervision within Aotearoa New Zealand has developed extensively over the past 10 years striving to achieve models, approaches and an identity that responds to the unique context of our society.  This has included the development of indigenous models of supervision using tangata whenua frameworks and cultural supervision to support best practice with cultures other than your own. 

It is evident that supervisors are seeking knowledge, models and tools which will assist them to provide 'best supervision practice' for Māori supervisees.   Further to this supervisors are also seeking to find clarity about supervision for all those working with Māori families.

This workshop is designed to contribute to the development of supervision within Aotearoa when supervising kaimahi Māori.  The workshop will provide a facilitated space and process to share experiences, incorporate evidence from research on kaupapa Māori supervision (Eruera, 2005 & Stevens, 2008) and offer the opportunity to develop your supervision practice guided by the 'He Kōrero Kōrari' framework.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Participate in a facilitated interactive process to explore and develop your supervision practice for working with kaimahi Māori
  • Inform and develop your supervision practice with evidence from research on kaupapa Māori supervision
  • Identify, share and build on 'magical moments' from your own supervision experiences working with kaimahi Māori
  • Build on the common threads and cultural constructs identified individually and collectively throughout the workshop to develop your supervision with kaimahi Māori

Target Group:  Supervisors who provide supervision for kaimahi Māori

No of Participants:  Maximum 30
