While school nurses are accountable for their own practice, stipulations in individual employee contracts may require supervision and evaluation. Like teachers and others who provide services for students, school nurses can benefit from self-assessment, peer review, and supervision and performance evaluations that focus on fostering continuous…

This article examines how appreciative inquiry can be a helpful tool to improve the supervision of graduate assistants in student affairs. Representing the future of the field, these emerging professionals need supervisors willing to invest in their development, a process that can be improved when approached with appreciative frameworks.

Deep learning techniques are being unified for decision support in various applications. However, it remains challenging to train robust deep learning models, due to the inherent insufficient labeled data that is usually time-consuming and labor-intensive. Self-supervised learning is a feature representation learning paradigm to learn robust…

Ethical decision-making is minimally addressed in counseling supervision literature. Supervisors or color may find challenges given the cultural context of both supervision and ethical decision-making. The authors interviewed six supervisors of color about ethical decision-making in supervision. The authors noted four themes: difficulty navigating…

Surveys of trainers in school psychology have been administered to examine training competencies and content delivered to school psychology trainees. Surveys of practitioners working with school psychology trainees are limited as discussed by Lewis et al. (2005). The purpose of this exploratory study is to seek to understand the perceptions of…

Postgraduate education has grown enormously worldwide, which has led to supervisors being expected to take on a supervisor's role immediately upon graduation. But crossing the border from being a doctoral candidate to becoming a doctoral supervisor entails significant shifts in identity and an understanding of postgraduate pedagogy and…

The purpose of this study is to understand how field-based supervisory practices support preservice teachers' conceptualizations of reflective practice, curriculum inquiry, and social justice-oriented pedagogies. Moving away from the more traditional supervisory triad model (e.g., preservice student--cooperating teacher--university supervisor),…

Background: Postdoctoral training holds an increasingly important place in preparation for leading academic and research positions. While little empirical research has described postdoctoral training beyond the sciences, across all fields, "misaligned expectations" are often touted as a key source of postdoctoral strife.…

This study aimed to understand the relationship between School Counseling Site Supervisors' (SCSS) characteristics, Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) training, cultural humility, advocacy competency, and SDOH competency (n = 69). SDOH refers to the factors that inform an individual's physical and mental health. Cultural humility refers to an…

Group supervision (GSV) is required in counseling programs accredited from Council for Accreditation of Counselor and Related Educational Programs (CACREP, 2016). Although widely used, the literature in group supervision focused on supervisee experiences is limited. In addition, the GSV experience of international counselor-in-trainings (ICIT) has…

Spirituality and religion (R/S) are important aspects of diversity and functioning for most people, and training in these areas for mental health professionals is needed. But how much training is enough? This paper proposes R/S training guidelines that can be used to inform coursework, practicum/internship didactic training, and supervision.

This article reports on a University of the South Pacific (USP) study of supervising lecturers (SLs) and pre-service teacher education students' (PSTs) experiences and reflections on their involvement in the practice teaching component in the degree program for secondary school teachers. Two sets of rich data have emerged from this study. Firstly,…

This conceptual paper considers doctoral candidate mindset and effective doctoral supervision. I explore mindset through a Critical Mobilities lens to posit two mindsets that candidates inhabit on their doctoral journey: transit and connectivity (Kesselring, (2006). Pioneering mobilities: New patterns of movement and motility in a mobile world.…

Social support is a crucial factor in the academic engagement of doctoral students, which is vital to their overall success. While past studies have mostly focused on the support from doctoral supervisors, support from other significant groups, including institutions, peers and families, has been largely neglected, and even no study has…

This article suggests ways in which teacher supervisors and trainers on short courses can reposition their role by making the feedback conference more collaborative and trainee-led. The authors argue that by taking a more dialogic approach and exploring critical incidents, trainee teachers can develop reflective skills and take more ownership of…
