How many hours of supervision per week must internship field supervisors provide according to NASP/NCSP requirements?

The requirement for internship field supervisors to provide a minimum of two hours of supervision per week is established to ensure that interns receive adequate guidance and support as they transition into professional practice. This two-hour requirement allows for meaningful discussions, feedback on casework, and collaboration on best practices, helping interns develop their skills and competencies in a structured environment.

This oversight is crucial for maintaining the quality of training and upholding ethical standards in the field of school psychology. By providing this level of supervision, supervisors can address any challenges the interns may face, promote reflective practice, and ensure that interns are equipped to meet the professional standards and expectations outlined by NASP and the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) program.
