ABSTRACT
Most school counseling site supervisors have not received training in clinical supervision despite regularly serving as supervisors for school counseling students. In this article, we describe how one university has created a clinical faculty supervision training program for school counselors to address this need. The program infrastructure, training activities, session content, and evaluation methods are described. We present informal program evaluation data (N = 19) assessing participants’ perspectives of the program and discuss implications for supervision training.
