Assignment : Personal Philosophy and Supervision Forms
You are to analyze and integrate information from the readings and scholarly resources to develop your personal philosophy of supervision and two supervision forms that will create a Supervision Portfolio.
Directions
Your portfolio will be comprised of two main components: your personal philosophy of supervision and two supervision forms.
A. Formulate and describe your personal model of supervision. This will include an 8-10 page paper (does not include title, bibliography, resource pages) with 7-10 references, and you will integrate the information from your resources to:
1. Analyze how your counseling approach relates to and differs from how you approach supervision.
2. Examine and discuss the specific supervision model(s) you draw from and how you conduct (or will conduct) supervision within this framework.
3. Discuss your own developmental level as a supervisor and how this impacts your view of supervision and your personal supervision model.
4. Discuss the significance of being a multiculturally competent supervisor who will have supervisees from diverse backgrounds and cultures and how your own cultural background might impact the supervisory relationship and process.
B. Create two supervision forms you will be able to utilize as a future supervisor.
There are various samples of supervision contracts and professional disclosure statements available, and sometimes there is overlap in the components included.
Your forms should fit your philosophy and assumptions about supervision, as well as the context (real or anticipated) in which you will provide supervision.
Focus on the areas that are applicable to your current or future professional settings.

a. Name and title
b. Academic degrees, credentials and licenses
