The following is an abstract and summary (prepared by myself as Chairman) of the first of a series of discussions by the members of the Curriculum Committee on the Problems of Supervision held on November 6, 1957.1
The Curriculum Committee had been delegated by the Educational Committee to determine the feasibility of orienting and instructing young teachers in the principles and methods of teaching by means of supervised clinical work. Before answering the questions regarding the feasibility and methods of such instruction the Curriculum Committee decided to establish first what teaching by supervision consists of, what the problems are which confront the teacher in the supervising of the student's clinical work, and what is to be expected to be accomplished by this form of teaching.… The first three items of the following agenda formed the framework of the discussion:
The position of supervision within the entire training program.
The function of supervision.
Goals of supervision.
Ways and means of accomplishing the goals.
