Supervisor Self Evaluation
Please evaluate the quality of the supervision you provide using the ratings and criteria below.
The purpose of the evaluation is to inform the supervisor of their strengths and weaknesses and
to help the supervisor to improve their practice of supervision.
The evaluation process is optimally an ongoing part of the supervisory relationship. Both
supervisor and supervisee should strive to talk openly about how the supervision is going, how
well learning is taking place, and what needs improving.
Both supervisor and supervisee can complete this form. Then, they exchange forms and discuss
the evaluation. The form is kept by the supervisor being evaluated.
Please indicate the degree to which the following behaviors are characteristic of you as a
supervisor using the following rating scale:
5 very true
4 fairly true
3 as likely to be true as untrue
2 fairly untrue
1 very untrue
