1. Provide positive feedback for exemplary or acceptable performance. This
kind of feedback should be given as soon as possible after the observed performance. 2. Provide corrective feedback before the next opportunity to perform. Asking questions should be the preffered method to begin this kind of corrective feedback (e.g. “What do you think you could do instead of…?”). Provide corrective feedback only privately in order to avoid embarrassment. 3. Maintain a high ratio of reinforcement (3 to 5 positive statements for 1 corrective statement). 4. Monitor the supervisees after telling them that they will be monitored and why. 5. Give clear expectations and when different things are expected to happen. Expectations and due dates should be written. Also, written feedback should be provided after observations. 6. In case of disagrement with the feedback provided, listen to the supervisee, avoid getting drawn into arguments and make empathetic statements. Be specific about the needs for improvement. 7. Provide modeling or role-play for the new programs. 8. Explain how to follow reduction protocols. 9. Ask for feedback from supervisees once every 2 months.
