ABSTRACT
Culturally responsive supervision involves both developing culturally responsive supervisees as well as providing supervision in a culturally responsive manner. It is important to note that the use of a culturally responsive supervision approach can lead to improved outcomes for clients, improved supervisee satisfaction, and increased supervisee confidence in serving diverse clients. Supervisors should encourage their supervisees to bring their own culture into the supervision relationship during the early stages of the relationship, and identify differences and similarities in areas such as communication and learning styles. Ultimately, supervisors who engage in the difficult work of culturally responsive practice will provide the best possible care to those they serve, including their supervisees. The several guidelines can assist school psychologists in providing culturally responsive supervision and modeling culturally responsive practice. When the supervisor and supervisee belong to different racial groups, supervisees of color are more likely to experience culturally unresponsive supervision compared to their European-American peers.
