After reviewing the supervisory tasks as described by Lee and Everest (2004), I began to evaluate the process of completing supervisor tasks. Tasks help individuals achieve their goals and chart a path to success, as a supervisor's role is to ensure the professional growth and development of the clinical supervisee. It is necessary for both parties to understand each other's goals and needs. ensuring the protection of the client's well-being so that the client is not harmed by the supervisee in training, and allowing supervisors to monitor the supervisee's performance to ensure that the supervisee is practicing according to therapy guidelines. The clinical supervisor is the "gatekeeper of the profession" as he or she is responsible for teaching and empowering supervisees to become competent therapists, capable of providing services independently and ethically while having a healing influence on their customers. One of the duties of a supervisor is to be responsible for the work of the supervisee and to evaluate his or her work consistently to ensure the highest quality of care. I plan to conduct regular weekly check-in assessments and more in-depth monthly assessments. As a supervisor, I want to be clear and concrete about how and when the supervisee will be evaluated. The supervisee will be informed of the methods used to evaluate their performance (i.e. video, live observation, etc.), how often the evaluation process is carried out. will take place and what role the supervisee plays in this process. During the evaluation process, I will also address the supervisee's learning goals and objectives; therefore, there are clear expectations about what is needed to carry out supervision successfully. The supervisee... in the middle of the document...... whatever their differences. Works Cited American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. (2012). Code of ethics. Alexandria, VA: Author.
