Communicating Effectively to Obtain Supervision of Professional Practice
Fischetti, Barbara A.; Petry, Bradley; Munch, Jessica Kouvel
Communique, v40 n7 p1, 14-16 May 2012
School psychologists are expected by parents, students, and their profession to maintain their competency to ensure the appropriate delivery of psychological services. Supervision by a school psychologist is a prime method for maintaining skill levels and updating professional services. Unfortunately, many school districts do not understand the critical importance of such professional supervision, versus administrative supervision, and have school psychologists supervised by nonschool psychologists who cannot provide the level of guidance and support necessary. National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) standards clearly define supervision standards, and it is incumbent on professionals to share these standards with their supervisors or prior to employment. Today's practicing school psychologist expects supervision and professional development consistent with the NASP standards. School psychologists are responsible for seeking out and advocating for proper supervision when it is not provided. This article highlights key information and effective strategies to communicate to supervisors and/or peers one's supervision needs and the benefits to students.
