As advocacy becomes a more integral part of the school counselor role, training programs are incorporating advocacy development into classroom activities. However, few authors have written about how advocacy development can be supported within the practicum and internship experiences of the trainees. This presentation shares how current the IDM supervision framework meshes with what we know about advocacy development. Additionally, the facilitator will share how IDM interventions can be adapted to provide intentional advocacy development for school counselor trainees. Finally, given the flexibility of the IDM framework, participants will brainstorm ways to incorporate these strategies into their own supervision practices.
