CHILD AND YOUTH CARE – FIELD PRACTICE SUPERVISION SUMMARY

Each placement day record your placement hours in the space below. This supervision summary should be used to
record 3-4 weeks of your placement experience.

Formal supervision is protected time set aside for the student and the supervisor to meet to discuss goals, progress,
feedback, and to provide an opportunity for the student to ask questions. It is expected that placement supervisors
provide approximately 30 min-1 hour, bi-weekly, of formal supervisor. Students are expected to come prepared for
their supervision meeting by having most or all of Questions #1-3 completed. Supervisors should sign-off on the
document at the end of the 3-4 week period, confirming the hours and feedback. Students are expected to submit
their supervision summaries monthly to their Field Work Seminar Instructor.

Week #12 = 30 hours

Total hours during this 3-4 week period: Week # 13= 31 hours & 30 minutes
Week # 14= 12 hours
Total hours to date (total for the semester): 322 hours & 30 minutes
No. of personal days taken (max. of 2 per semester): 0

(1) Briefly describe 4 (four) experiences you have had during these 3-4 weeks at your placement. In your
description, be sure to protect identities of the children, youth and families you have worked with.
1. Making my first Google Form as program coordinator for Virtual Drop-In
On April 12th, I was asked to be Program Co-Coordinator by Jessica and Em. My program co-coordinator
role has a few expectations, including holding debriefs after the session is done, scheduling interns/volunteers
who are available to work during the week, and making a note of any concerns/red flag that the
interns/volunteers noticed when they were facilitating the youth during the drop-in session. My first role as
program co-coordinator was to create a Google Form to see who can facilitate for the next four weeks as new
interns start at KIP Canada very soon and interns who are finishing up their placement with KIP Canada. The
Google Form is to get an understanding of who is available and when they are available. Once gathering all
the information from the Google Form, I created a four-week schedule and followed up with everyone who
competed to correct it if needed.
2. Facilitating the Kindergarteners first Virtual Arts Session.
On April 12th, my co-facilitator and I had our first official art session. We started with a funny meme check-
in with a bunch of dogs with funny faces, and the kiddos had to pick which funny face resembled their
current mood. After our check-in, we went straight into the activity, which was “The Emotions Colour
Wheel.” The “Emotions Colour Wheel” is designed where the kiddos learn, understand and demonstrate a
basic understanding of their emotions, what emotions are and how to distinguish what colour matches their
emotions. Youth can be expressive and creative through paint and determine what emotions they face in their
lives. The kiddos made a circle and used different colours of their choice, which resembled an emotion they
felt. We concluded with a thumbs up, middle thumbs or thumbs down as our check-out. All the kiddos had a
good time and gave us thumbs-up, and let us know that they were excited about the next session. 
3. Facilitating the Girls Empowerment #GirlTalk
On April 15th, I facilitated the Girls Empowerment Program #GirlTalk with another facilitator. During
#GirlTalk, we have a variety of games and conversation topics that we do weekly. During that week, my co-
facilitator and I planned “Song Association” and “Guess That Character.” Song Association is essentially
coming up with a word and having the next player sing a song with that word. “Guess that character is a
created PowerPoint with many different television characters. The image on the PowerPoint would be
zoomed in, and the player had to guess who the character was. Unfortunately, no girls showed up for this
session, and my co-facilitator and I worked on the #FlashbackFriday Post.
4. Virtual Drop-In
On April 9th, I held a Virtual Drop-In with my co-facilitator from our usual time, 4:00-5:00 PM on Zoom,
and youth had joined. There is no specific guide as to what to do during a virtual drop-in as it is a curated
space for youth to hang out and address any concerns. Virtual Drop-In holds many different purposes,
including cover letter support, resume writing, homework help, art, dance, Youtube, games and counselling
support. The youth had specifically asked for me and wanted to watch Youtube with me. Halfway through the
session, my co-facilitator joined us, and we all started making jokes with each other and making funny names

for each other. This was the first experience where we used a break-out room on zoom, and we needed to
listen to the youth's needs to keep her emotionally regulated and safe through a virtual space.

5. Choose 1 (one) of those experiences, and answer the following:

a. Describe what you did well and/or what went well.
b. Describe what was challenging for you.
c. What would you do differently?
d. What specific question do you have for your supervisor about that experience?
#3 Facilitating the Girls Empowerment #GirlTalk
a. What my co-facilitator and I did well was meeting in advance to create a plan for Girl Talk. We had
all of our games and discussion questions ready to go. My co-facilitator and I also collaborated on
essential topics that we should discuss with the girls. My co-facilitator and I made sure we are early
and ready to facilitate.
b. It was challenging that no girls had shown up for that session, and we were trying to improve the
session before it started, but we found it challenging because there is no feedback to bound back from.
In the past, the sessions were “go with the flow”; however, we wanted to amp it up did not know how
to. 
c. I think what I would do differently is do more community outreach on the KIP Canada story every
Thursday if possible and maybe reach out to the caregivers I am in contact with. If possible, but do a
poll on our Instagram page to see if anyone is interested. 
d. Is it possible to post on the KIP Canada story for Girls Empowerment? 

6. Choose another 1 (one) of those experiences, and answer the following:

a. Describe what you did well and/or what went well.
b. Describe what was challenging for you.
c. What would you do differently?
d. What specific question do you have for your supervisor about that experience?
#4 Virtual Drop-In
a. I think what I did well was arriving on time for Virtual Drop-In. Another aspect that I think I did well
was advocating for what our youth wanted. The youth asked to talk to me, started a break-out room,
and spent time with the youth. I think what went well was my co-facilitators patience during this time
as he was alone in the main Zoom call. 
b. What was challenging was that the youth was on mute most of the time, so it was not easy to
understand what she wanted to do. However, I understand that environments can be different for
everyone, so we used the chat box function on Zoom to communicate. 
c. I do not think I would do anything differently as I was attentive to the needs of the youth in the
present moment, and so was my co-facilitator. I think we handled that well! 
d. Will I be added to the Internship Team again to find out who is interested in starting Virtual Drop-In
in the future?

7. Record the feedback you received from your supervisor or other employees at the agency. Include
feedback you have received from formal supervision (e.g. a one-on-one meeting with your

working).
Aliya has been an exceptional intern at KIP Canada! She has demonstrated strong leadership and initiative which has

has incredible energy which she brings to all meetings and interactions with the children and youth that she supports.
She has gone above and beyond in her role as a Youth Support Worker. Aliya consistently asks for feedback and areas
that she may need improvement. She has been a wonderful student to supervise. Aliya, we wish you all the best as
you finish your CYC program. We look forward to continuing to work with you and witnessing the monumental impact
