Internship in Counseling

Evaluation

The evaluation process is a joint one participated in by the student, the agency supervisor, and the university supervisor. The emphasis is on the intern’s growth toward professional maturity. Together they evaluate the intern’s readiness to enter the profession, and his/her needs for further training.

The university’s policies require that interns be assigned an S/U grade at the conclusion of the supervised internship. The agency supervisor’s evaluation, along with that of the university supervisor, will be used to determine the intern’s grade. The assignment of the final grade is the responsibility of the university supervisor.

The internship contract which was agreed to by the intern, the agency supervisor, and the faculty supervisor at the beginning of the internship will be used in the evaluation process. Each of the objectives will be assessed to determine whether or not the intern has successfully completed them.

In evaluating the student, these principles will be observed:

  1. The underlying philosophy and approach of the evaluation will be directed constructively toward strengthening the student both personally and professionally.

  2. The student will be included in the evaluation process.

  3. The initial contract will be used for the final evaluation.
