The Advanced Use of Technology to Enhance Personal and Professional Growth During the Supervision Process for Graduate Students in Counselor Education Programs

Clinical supervision is an essential component of the development of master’s- level interns in contributing to their effectiveness as future professional counselors. Supervision models and techniques can be applied in many different formats to provide professional growth and development for trainees. The use of technology during supervision has been deemed effective in enhancing the professional growth and development of trainees. Landro Play Analyzer (IRIS Technologies, 2006) is a software system that allows faculty supervisors to monitor and record live video sessions of professional counselors-in-training. A rationale for utilizing this software system, along with implications for supervision, will be discussed.
