Clinical social worker Dr. Onoriode Evwaraye explains how supervision, growth mindset, and psychoeducation about stereotype threat can support early-career social workers as they pursue clinical licensure.

Susan Reay, Ed.D., LICSW, invited social work regulators at ASWB’s 2026 Education Meeting to think differently about supervision — especially telesupervision — by distinguishing between the “floor” of regulation and the “ceiling” of professional excellence.

ASWB has published a revised edition of the Guide to the Social Work Licensing Exams for Educators and Supervisors and has expanded access to the available set of group review practice questions. These changes allow access to the exam materials for both social work educators and social work supervisors.

As social workers navigate the changing landscape of the profession, many structural, ethical, and legal questions arise. Supervision is at the heart of many concerns in areas as diverse as supervisor availability, qualifications, and performance.
