BCBA Fieldwork Supervision for Educators

Individual supervision is a one-on-one session between the supervisee and supervisor. This time is focused entirely on your skill development, cases, goals, and questions. It’s a space to dive deep into topics like functional assessments, ethical decision-making, consultation strategies, and how to navigate real-world challenges in your setting.

In individual supervision, you can expect:

• Personalized feedback on your behavior analytic work and progress in applying the skills

• Opportunities to reflect on your strengths and areas for growth

• Tailored coaching around school-based responsibilities, such as IEP participation or behavior plan implementation

• Support in organizing and tracking unrestricted and restricted hours

This is your most focused, individualized learning time—and it's essential for building your professional identity and confidence.

Group supervision includes 2–10 supervisees working toward certification, meeting together with the supervisor. It’s a collaborative learning experience where you discuss cases, analyze scenarios, share resources, and explore ethical or clinical challenges together.

In group supervision, you can expect:

• Peer-to-peer discussion and shared insight

• Exposure to a wider variety of cases and strategies

• Structured learning topics (e.g., ethics, data collection, collaboration, cultural humility)

• Practice applying behavior analytic principles in diverse contexts

Group supervision helps you develop critical reasoning, communication skills, and a sense of community within the field.
