What I Learned from Supervising High School Counseling Interns

One of the best ways I grew as a professional and leader was when I was a supervisor to high school counseling interns. Being responsible for teaching, guiding, and preparing future high school counselors was something I knew was important for the future of the field. In today's episode, I'm sharing four key things you should do as a supervisor for your counseling interns.My goal as a supervisor was to get my counseling interns to be able to do this job without me. This is why each of the four things I focus on helps to accomplish that goal. The ideas I'm talking about include teaching interns flexibility, encouraging them to take ownership of their own resources, giving opportunities to fail and learn from mistakes, pushing them out of their comfort zone, and providing honest feedback. I also share examples of how these ideas benefit you as the supervisor.When you sign on to be a supervisor who is invested in raising up the next generation of high school counselors, I hope that you'll find that the experience benefits you as well. This episode will provide you with practical and direct ways to guide and navigate you through this supervisor/intern relationship.Resources Mentioned:Resource: High School Counselor Kickstart Audio Course https://counselorclique.com/newcounselorResource: New High School Counselor Playlist https://counselorclique.com/newcounselorplaylistResource: High School Counseling Planning MEGA BundleLeave your review for School Counseling Conversations on Apple PodcastsConnect with Lauren:Sign up for the free, 3-day prep for High School Counseling Job Interviews https://counselorclique.com/interviewsVisit my TpT store https://counselorclique.com/shopSend me a DM on Instagram @counselorclique https://instagram.com/counselorcliqueFollow me on Facebook https://facebook.com/counselorcliqueSend me an email mailto:[email protected] the Clique Collaborative http://cliquecollab.comFull show notes on website: https://counselorclique.com/episode134
