What type of evaluation must approved supervisors conduct for each supervisee every six-month evaluation period?

An evaluation of supervised experience is crucial as it ensures that the supervisee is receiving the necessary guidance and is making progress in their development as a professional. This evaluation provides a structured approach for supervisors to assess the skills, competencies, and performance of the supervisee in a practical setting.

It encompasses an in-depth review of the supervisee's work, including their ability to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world situations, adherence to ethical standards, and overall professional conduct. Conducting such evaluations every six months allows for timely feedback and adjustments, which ultimately enhances the quality of service provided to clients and ensures that the supervisee is meeting the required competency standards. Regular evaluations also maintain accountability within the supervisory relationship, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development.

In contrast, other methods such as self-assessments or client feedback may offer valuable insights but do not provide a comprehensive evaluation of the supervisee's supervised experience which is critical for their professional growth and compliance with accreditation and regulatory standards.
