Professional Development

DOE-STD-1061-93

Another important element of the professional development of shift supervisors is the

day-to-day coaching provided by their manager. Though not formally structured or

documented, coaching should focus on individual needs and reinforcement of management

expectations, with the results reflected in the performance of the shift supervisor.

An additional source of professional development is the Shift Supervisor Professional

Development Seminar that is described in Appendix B. The seminar would provide an

environment for qualified shift supervisors to share and learn from peers. This seminar

should be an integral part of the ongoing development of shift supervisors. The seminar is

designed to augment, but not replace, each facility's professional-development program for

shift supervisors.
