Perera-Diltz, Dilani M.; Mason, Kimberly L.
Journal of School Counseling, v10 n4 2012
Supervision is vital for personal and professional development of counselors. Practicing school counselors (n = 1557) across the nation were surveyed to explore current supervision practices. Results indicated that 41.1% of school counselors provide supervision. Although 89% receive some type of supervision, only 10.3% of school counselors receive weekly supervision from another school counselor. Most school counselors receive supervision from principals (62.8%). Approximately 32% engage in supervision with other mental health professionals. Only 5.1% of school counselors engage in technology-mediated supervision. Implications, limitations, and future directions for research are provided. (Contains 1 table.)
