Clinical Supervision
Counselor educators
understand the importance of
the supervisor's role in the
professional development of
graduate students. As
emerging professionals,
students rely on their
supervisors to help them
develop the skills necessary
to provide top-notch
counseling services to the
public. Dr. Quarto provides
workshops to area school
counselors and agency
personnel on conducting
clinical supervision. In
his "Solution-Focused
Supervision in a
Developmental Framework"
workshop, Dr. Quarto
stresses the importance of
assuming different roles as
a supervisor depending on
the developmental level of
the supervisee and utilizing
techniques from the
solution-focused counseling
approach to aid in the
supervisee's skill
development. Licensed
professional counselors are
encouraged to receive
continuing education in
clinical supervision in
order to provide
high-quality supervision
services to LPC candidates.
The objectives of this
workshop are as follows:
1. To learn the three
stages of counselor
development and the
characteristics of
counselors at each stage.
2. To learn supervisory
roles that can implemented
with counselors at different
stages of development.
3. To learn specific
solution-focused techniques
that can be used in
supervision to aid in the
growth and development of
supervisees.

Effective Classroom
Management Using the "1-2-3
Magic" SystemIn
his classic book entitled,
"The First Days of School:
How to be an Effective
Teacher," Harry Wong notes
that effective classroom
management is the most
important factor
contributing to student
achievement. Essentially,
having a classroom that is
managed well provides a
solid foundation for "bricks
of learning experiences"
that teachers help students
build over the course of a
school year. This two-hour
workshop provides teachers
with a simple, yet effective
approach to classroom
management based on the
popular "1-2-3
Magic" child discipline
system. Teachers will learn
how to motivate students to
stop exhibiting
negative behaviors, start
displaying positive
behaviors, and learn the key
component which makes this
system work like magic!
