Supervision- The Indian Experience

Supervision in India has been mostly hierarchical, using control and power to force change. This technique stresses the supervisor and the supervisee with heightened tensions and change is often temporary based on fear and the need to comply. 'Supervision in the Indian context is feared and avoided or maintained within the safe limits of giving advice. Receiving feedback and learning are painful processes due to the punitive upbringing’. (Gilbert & Kenneth, 2000).

Participants felt that the session was interactive. The experiential and activity based teaching style of the workshop facilitators were something they felt they can take back to their classrooms as their delivery style. The session was an enjoyable experience for the young teachers.

I enjoyed your very positive outlook to coping with stress and COVID very much.
I live in Sydney, Australia and I must say the country in general has coped with all aspects of COVID quite sensibly. I worked from home for 2 months and it certainly changed my outlook in many ways. I did enjoy the compulsory slow down of our hectic lives.
