This slide presentation is a conversational trigger used to discuss the inclusion of an evidencing practices approach to the annual supervision update at MQ. A working example was given where participants edit their digital profile that exists within the MQSR (registration portal), as this activity is one example of evidence that could be used. Many other examples are given via the embedded Google form.

6. Learning in the circumstances of practice
“ …an account is advanced
here of how workers’
learning through everyday

with others, arises through
mimetic processes (i.e.
observation, imitation and
action).”

8. What might evidence look like?
Workshop activity: Improve your MQSR
digital profile
Your MQSR digital profile is an artefact of
use in the co0ntext of HDR Supervision.
What does it say about you? How can it be
improved to assist your appointment as a
supervisor?
Edit your MQSR profile.
Present evidence: You could submit a
before and after snapshot of your profile.
