Welcome to the Supervisor Supports web page. This page will serve as your primary reference point for the New Worker Professional Development Supervisor Support tools, and would be a good page to bookmark for future reference. A number of tools have been developed to help supervisors and new employees navigate through the first year of professional development, and you can find several of those tools listed below.
New Worker Training Session Summaries
The New Worker Training Session Summaries (located under each pertinent training on the SSS1 Trainings page) are provided for each session of each training: Essential Elements of Child Welfare Practice, Well-being Needs of Children and Youth, Family Conditions, and Preparing and Presenting for Success in Court. These documents include general information about the training, including length of training, time frame in which it must be completed, and any prerequisites required to ensure eligibility for attendance. Further, the individual session summaries give the session description, learning objectives and key content, competencies and competency components associated with each session.

Supervisor Support Tools
There are three primary Supervisor Support tools that have been developed and are available for your use in determining how best to guide your new worker through their first year of professional development in child welfare. The tools listed above are available for your use, and they will continue to evolve as drafts, adding changes and revisions for a limited period of time until fully complete.
