APS Supervisor Core
APS Supervisor Core provides a spectrum of learning experiences for the five competencies; Understanding Self as Supervisor, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion/Transformation, Supporting Team Building and Individual Development, Case Consultation and Critical Thinking, and Supervising for Accountability and Retention. Each competency includes carefully crafted modules as eLearnings, pre and post self-assessments, and instructor-led training workshops. Workforce development specifically tailored to the experience of APS Supervisors, allows them to feel confident in their role and use acquired skills to support staff. APS Supervisors who are newly hired or promoted, could use a refresher and/or lead staff receive tangible resources to implement immediately after completion of each module.
APS Supervisor Core was developed as a collaborative effort between APSWI, numerous subject matter experts, NAPSA, Arizona Department of Economic Security, Division of Aging and Adult Services, and Curriculum Advisory Committee members.
Training modules are released on a rolling basis. Each module is piloted, finalized and reviewed by the NAPSA Education Review Committee. Modules marked with an asterisk (*) are accessed through the NAPSA website.
