Whakatara and whakamanawa

This phase of the supervision session involves the ability to provoke and prompt critical thinking, to challenge and to encourage, inspire, instil confidence, reassure, stimulate, support and assess at a particular point in time.

Dealing with issues and encouraging solutional focus

This phase is an exploration phase facilitated through activities that apply the concepts of whakatara (to challenge) and whakamanawa (to encourage).

The kaiārahi will use a range of skills and techniques to constructively challenge the thinking of the kaitiaki in a supportive way, promoting critical reflection, learning and development.

This is also the space to acknowledge and celebrate good practice.

Prompts: skills, knowledge and behaviours
