Abstract

Purpose Supervision plays a critical role in the development of rehabilitation counselors. Research and accreditation standards have long called for the appropriate training of rehabilitation counseling supervisors but have offered little in the way of topical suggestions for such trainings. Methods The present study used the Delphi method. A panel of 33 subject matter experts participated in three rounds of data collection to establish supervision topics that would be both beneficial and of a high priority to site supervisors working with counselor education programs. Findings Results were grouped according to high, moderate, and low priority with participants. Items identified by participants were grouped into one of six themes: supervision resources, supervision activities, supports provided by the institution, and aspects of supervision broken down according to the Tripartite Model of Supervision proposed by Schultz (2008). Conclusions Findings can help educators consider the type of supervision training and delivery method most appropriate for their site supervisors.
