Abstract: Several writers have suggested that a key to supervisor training is helping counselors assume the role and identity of a supervisor. In particular, they assert that a pivotal skill in this role transition is the cognitive shift from thinking like a counselor to thinking like a supervisor. This paper (a) contrasts the thoughts and behaviors of supervisors who have and have not made the role transition and (b) describes interventions that facilitate the cognitive shift. Included are illustrations drawn from the author's experiences as a supervisor educator in academic and inservice settings. It is suggested that effective supervisors think of their counselors as learners and of themselves as educators who create appropriate learning environments.
