This research investigated the supervision practices of fieldbased and university supervisors of school psychology interns in the United States. A national sample of 239 field - based supervisors and 41 university supervisors completed questionnaires on various aspects of their supervision. In addition to descriptive statistics, comparisons were made between the two groups of supervisors. The findings revealed a highly qualified group of supervisors who met the standards set forth by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). Although the field - based and university intern supervisors’ shared many similar goals and practices, differences were evident. For example, field - based supervisors focused their supervision goals / activities toward the interns’ skills and the impact of these skills on the client. While the university supervisors also emphasized skill development in their supervision goals, their supervision activities were more global and reflected the indirect nature of their supervision. The field - based supervisors’ rated themselves as more effective than did the university supervisors. In general, the supervisors’ practices adhered to the recommendations in the conceptual literature. The findings of this study support the need for open communication between the two groups of supervisors.
