Participants in
these two connected sessions (11:15 and 4:15) will be introduced to and have an
opportunity to practice applying tools for supervision and feedback described
in Learning From Practice: A Professional
Development Text for Externs
(LFP) (3rd edition, due summer 2015).  In advance of the conference, participants
will be asked to submit a supervisory problem involving feedback.  We will encourage participants to submit
questions that raise problems faced by clinical supervisors in giving feedback
to students, problems faced by faculty in coaching field supervisors or
employers, and problems faced by students in eliciting and learning from
feedback given to them in the context of supervision.  Our goal is to help participants make
effective feedback and supervision a more regular and valued part of the flow
from legal education into practice.  We
expect participants will leave with
tools to enhance student capacity to learn from experience including strategies
for getting the maximum from feedback, regardless of how well it is delivered.
The sessions will
include discussion of individual differences in how people perceive information in order to make decisions
that enhance the usefulness of the feedback.
Participants will also have opportunities to practice applying a
DEUSA/four part feedback model statement (as described in LFP,) to assist
students in getting useful feedback and responding effectively.
