Dear Supervisors,
I want to personally thank you for your commitment to investing in Emporia State University’s Counseling Practicum and Internship students. I would also like to thank you for the time you have to spend and the expertise you share that provides an essential service not only to our students but the entire counseling profession.
Practicum students have successfully completed all critical prerequisite courses in Clinical counseling before being ready for their community-based clinical experience. Internship students have successfully completed their counseling practicum and the vast majority of their coursework. They are looking forward to the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills through the supervised counseling experiences you have agreed to provide. As an on-site supervisor, you play a very critical role in the development of our students and again, we sincerely thank you for taking the time to make their supervised clinical experience a positive one. During the Practicum/Internship experience, students are required to have live supervised sessions completed as a part of their grade for the class. This will require supervisors to sit in sessions periodically throughout the semester and provide evaluation and feedback to students.
While our students have weekly scheduled consulting or supervision time with you, they also meet in group supervision with their University-Supervisor each week. Through these experiences, each student should have the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to become an effective professional counselor. My role as their instructor is to evaluate each intern on his/her ability to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions in respective areas. To help in doing this, each on-site supervisor is asked to complete an evaluation form on the intern at mid-term and again at the end of the semester. Upon evaluation, the intern will want to discuss it with you as it relates to your comments and suggestions for improvements. I certainly value your opinion and judgment and will use this information in my final evaluation.
Please take your time to become acquainted with the training material provided in this course for a comprehensive overview of the responsibilities and privileges of the on-site supervisor role. Again, thank you for your assistance in providing supervision and investing in the training of our students as well as providing them with an opportunity and atmosphere to practice their skills. If you have any questions or concerns at any point throughout the semester, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
