In this first session of the Supervision in Practice miniseries, Justine Springs, MA, CCC-SLP, and Katherine Mendez, MA, CCC-SLP, tackle one of the most common questions clinicians ask: Should I take a student? Through real questions, honest dialogue, and evidence-informed guidance, they help you look beyond a simple yes or no answer and consider what it truly means to become a clinical educator.
Drawing on research from speech-language pathology and other helping professions, Justine and Katherine discuss the knowledge, skills, and professional qualities that support effective supervision. They also address common challenges clinicians face and why recognizing your own strengths, limitations, and current circumstances is an important part of providing a meaningful learning experience for graduate students.
Whether you're considering supervision for the first time or wondering if now is the right time to say yes, this session offers a thoughtful framework for reflection. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of the responsibilities of clinical education and greater confidence in deciding whether you're ready to take the next step.
