Essential Strategies for Successful Intern Supervision

Supervision is a distinct area of professional competency. Yet, few school psychologists receive formal training focused on the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out this important professional responsibility effectively. Research on the practices of Model School Psychology Intern Supervisors highlights specific techniques supervisors can employ to establish a strong and trusting relationship, which is the foundation for a productive supervision experience. Consistently informed by a developmental perspective, supervisors can promote growth and learning and support supervisees in progressing towards their professional goals. Providing and soliciting frequent, constructive, and balanced feedback is also key. This presentation will provide an introduction to these critical considerations, helping any supervisor hit the ground running.

Course Objectives:

1. Implement a contracting process to help establish strong relationships with supervisees.
2. Apply a developmental approach to supervision that adapts to meet supervisees’ needs and facilitates growth.
3. Provide effective feedback to school psychology interns.
