This certificate program takes place over the course of 3 months and involves both live and asynchronous components. By registering for this cohort, you’ll gain access to:

• Two coffee chats to network and learn in community with fellow supervisors
• Seven asynchronous courses to build your expertise in different aspects of supervision
• A reflection assignment to earn your badge

We’ll send emails regularly with suggestions for how to navigate the course, but you are also welcome to explore at your own pace. Below, you’ll find how to access different parts of your experience.

Coffee Chats

Twice during your cohort, you’ll have a chance to meet with fellow supervisors to network and discuss what you’re learning. These coffee chats are optional, but we encourage attendance if you’re able to do so. We find that learning requires practice, reflection, and feedback, and these coffee chats will help you get feedback from others in your role and practice what you’ve learned. You’ll receive an email reminder before each coffee chat, and you can find how to join us live in by using the Join the Meeting button here or in the My Upcoming Live Events section of your Academic Impressions account.

Asynchronous Courses

Once you’ve registered for your cohort, you’ll be enrolled in seven asynchronous courses. You can find those courses in the My Training Library section of your Academic Impressions account, or navigate to them using the links below. We’ll send regular email suggestions of how to navigate the course, but you can also pick and choose what makes the most sense for you!

• Creating a Supervision Philosophy
• Self-Care as a Supervisor
• Coaching Skills for Supervisors
• Building High Expectations with High Support
• Accountability
• Supporting Neurodiverse Employees
• Practice, Reflection, and Feedback

Over the course of the cohort, we’ll invite you to complete the courses you want. Each course also comes with a short summary of tips and reflection questions if you’re unable to engage with the full course. Once your cohort has ended, you’ll be able to return to these courses as often as you’d like using the My Trainings Library section of your Academic Impressions account.

Reflection Assignment and Badge

To earn your badge at the end of your experience, you’ll need to complete a short reflection assignment. We’ll ask you to share briefly how you’ve been able to incorporate what you’ve learned and how you plan to do so in the future. You can find the reflection assignment linked below and in your My Trainings Library of your Academic Impressions account.

• Reflection Assignment

Once you have completed it, you’ll automatically receive your digital badge certifying that you have participated in the Advanced Supervision Certificate program! The only requirement for receiving this badge is completing this reflection assignment, and you may do so at any time after enrolling in the program, including after your cohort has ended.

This program is designed for supervisors at any level and in any role in higher education. However, if you’ve never had any supervisor training, we recommend that you complete the Supervision Certificate as a pre-requisite for this program.
