Cultivating School Counseling Site Supervisors' Self-Efficacy and Multicultural Competence: Comparing In-Person and Web-Based Formats Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The researchers investigated two formats of site-supervision training based on the school counselor supervision model: in-person and web-based. Using a quasiexperimental pre–post design, this study examined the multicultural competency and self-efficacy of school counselor supervisors. The findings revealed significant improvements in self-efficacy regardless of the format; however, in-person training led to greater gains in multicultural knowledge and awareness. The implications of this study are discussed.
