The Culturally Informed-Social Justice School Counselor Supervision Model

Abstract

School counselors cultivate spaces of equity and inclusion for all students however, many school counselors lack preparedness to fulfill these responsibilities. During training programs, school counseling graduate students are provided practical opportunities to develop skills to examine school policies and practices. However, site supervisors are not always adequately prepared or trained regarding the theory and practice of supervision to facilitate fieldwork experiences. Program faculty are called to provide support for site supervisors to strengthen their ability to fulfill this role. The authors discuss and outline their designed comprehensive culturally informed, social justice-oriented supervision model for school counselor site supervision and training. Practice examples and implications for counselor educators and site supervisors are provided.
