Peer Supervision for the Professional Development of School Counselors: Toward an Understanding of Terms and Findings
Wilkerson, Kevin
Counselor Education and Supervision, v46 n1 p59-67 Sep 2006
Current literature indicates a discrepancy between school counselors' reported desires for clinical supervision and their actual participation. To bridge this gap, peer supervision has been suggested as a viable alternative. However, a lack of definitional clarity makes it difficult to distinguish this activity from both clinical supervision and peer consultation. In this article, a definition of peer supervision is synthesized. Existing models that fit the offered definition are presented, followed by an overview of the outcomes research in this area. Recommendations for future research are also presented.
