This digest focuses on issues of supervisory evaluation and feedback. It suggests that there exist some fairly basic premises from educational psychology, educational evaluation, and counselor supervision literature that can improve supervision evaluation practices, and thus reduce the ambiguity and uncertainty about evaluation in supervision. Evaluation is defined and distinctions are made between summative and formative evaluations. It is noted that the heart of counselor evaluation is an ongoing formative process which uses feedback and leads to trainee skills improvement and positive client outcome. Evaluation practices and procedures are discussed. Resources are cited which outline requisite skills and knowledge for effective evaluation practices, and guidelines and suggestions from these resources are summarized in a list of eight effective evaluation practices. The digest concludes that the use of multiple methods for evaluation contributes to the supervisee's sense of self-worth and success. Contains 9 references. (NB)
