This article outlines the principal findings of a study intended fundamentally to research the needs of clinical practice supervisors in terms of their professional development. An online survey was designed and sent to more than 400 supervisors who were asked to supply information on the type of support provided to candidates. The initial results of the study suggest there are three fundamental types of effective support: 1) classroom management; 2) design of classes; and 3) individualized study programs for students with disabilities. Three challenges were identified: 1) gathering comments and observations from school supervisors; 2) not enough time for comments and observations; and 3) insufficient time for conversing with the candidate. The findings of this study suggest the need to develop a systematic approach to counseling and guidance, in addition to having support teams with different functions.
