Supervision is an evaluative and interactive process where the supervisor (who is more proficient in the field) oversees the work of the supervisee, the person with lesser skills and knowledge for the purpose of enhancing professional skills and functioning. Itis the supervisor’s responsibility to make sure the supervisee is adequately trained (this includes making sure the supervisee adheres to the legal andethical obligations of their licensing body). The supervisor-supervisee relationship interactions tend to be much more consistent than that of consultation with ongoing evaluation feedback and performance reviews.
