Teaching Supervision Skills to Prepare and Support School Psychologists
Simon, Dennis J.; Swerdlik, Mark E.
Communique, v45 n7 p1, 22-24 May 2017
Supervision skills are now recognized as an essential competency for all psychologists (APA, 2011). The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP, 2011) has called for experience with supervision. While it is necessary for supervisors to demonstrate well developed clinical skills, this ability alone does not ensure competency in supervision. Knowledge of best practices in supervision, the capacity to establish an effective supervisory relationship, expertise with supervisory methods, and competencies in guiding the process of supervision to foster supervisees' professional development are also essential. Competent supervision not only enhances the development of the profession; it also promotes quality services for the children, families, and communities served by school psychologists. This article will focus on the critical need to provide professional development in supervision and suggest practical frameworks for implementing supervision training to benefit professional preparation and practice, and thus the future of the profession.
