Name two steps a BCBA should take when delivering corrective feedback to a supervisee.
Two steps a BCBA should take when delivering corrective feedback to a supervisee include making sure the supervisee is taking notes on the corrective feedback and is attending to the information, as well as the BCBA should be appropriately modeling the suggested and expected behaviors so as to provide a good example to the supervisee.
Correct answer (any of the following):
1. provide positive feedback involving contingent, descriptive praise
2. provide an empathy statement
3. describe ineffective performance
4. provide a rationale for desired change in performance
5. provide instructions and demonstration for how to improve performance
6. provide opportunities to practice desired performance
7. provide immediate feedback and long-term follow up

A fellow BCBA comes to you for advice. He wants to take on more supervisees to increase income, but is finding his current load challenging in terms of time management. You would tell him...
that he can take on only the number of individuals to whom he can provide effective supervisory services
A BCBA wants to collect data regarding the quality of their supervisory skills so they may take steps to improve them. Indicate the possible ways this can be accomplished from the choices below.
-supervisee evaluation of supervisory performance
-self-observation of supervisory performance
-peer observation of supervisory performance
-mentor observation of supervisory performance
Under what situations can a BCBA delegate responsibilities to their supervisees?
when the supervisee can reasonably be expected to perform the task competently, ethically, and safely
(T/F) In order to count towards necessary field experience hours to sit for the Board exam, supervision must be one to one in-person and occur on-site, or in other words no group or video supervision sessions are counted.
false
Which of the following is true regarding supervision records?
they may be submitted to the BACB if the supervisee needs to contest experiences
Feedback: The responsibility for records falls on the supervisor and supervisee. Records should be kept for 7 years after the last supervision meeting. Records should be completed every two weeks (makes up one supervisory period).
While we naturally enter into the supervisory relationship with a focus on outcomes of effective supervision, supervisors also need to recognize the potential outcomes of ineffective supervision. What is one such potential outcome of ineffective supervision with a focus on the supervisee?
An implication of ineffective supervision with a focus on the supervisee is that, if not corrected on behaviors and professional development, the lack of competency could allow the supervisee to make critical errors within the field, which in turn could not only effect their professional status, but also that of the BCBA, and the well being of the client or any other persons involved.
Correct answer (includes any of the following):
1. delivery of low-quality services by supervisees
2. supervisees with insufficient or limited practice repertoires
3. supervisees that are unable to problem solve or handle novel situations
4. supervisees who become poor supervisors
5. supervisees who engage in unethical behaviors
(T/F) Andrew, a BCBA supervisor, is trying to supervise 9 trainees. The BACB clearly indicates that a group meeting may not exceed 10 at any time, which is good news for his trainees. For each supervisory period he divides his total supervisory time so that 60% is spent in group meetings, and 40% is for individual meetings one to one with him. Is this an appropriate split between group and individual supervision sessions, and will this result in ensuring all hours get counted for his supervisees?
false
(T/F) The three classifications of supervision (supervised independent fieldwork, practicum, and intensive practicum) will move to supervised fieldwork and concentrated supervised fieldwork, as well as moving to a monthly monitoring period instead of a biweekly supervisory period
