Single studies suggest that the effectiveness of certain instructional activities depends on teachers' judgment accuracy. However, sufficient empirical data is still lacking. In this longitudinal study (N = 75 teachers and 1,865 students), we assessed if the effectiveness of teacher feedback was moderated by judgment accuracy in a standardized reading program. For the purpose of a discriminant validation, moderating effects of teachers' judgment accuracy on their classroom management skills were examined. As expected, multilevel analyses revealed larger reading comprehension gains when teachers provided students with a high number of feedbacks and simultaneously demonstrated high judgment accuracy. Neither interactions nor main effects were found for classroom management skills on reading comprehension. Moreover, no significant interactions with judgment accuracy but main effects were found for both feedback and classroom management skills concerning reading strategy knowledge gains. The implications of the results are discussed.

Supervisors are gatekeepers to the counseling profession and the same applies to safeguarding play therapy. Clinical supervision in play therapy helps play therapists master their skills when working with children, adolescents, or adults. Integrative sandtray supervision facilitates emerging play therapist developmental levels. The Integrative Developmental Model of supervision and sandtray concepts offer a different way of conducting play therapy supervision. Supervisees learn to master each stage of development. Sandtray supervision allows play therapist supervisors a new medium for emerging play therapists to process cases, discuss ethical issues, and explore professional and personal challenges. Each sandtray can mark the four developmental stages and three content areas. Supervisors monitor the development of emerging play therapists to ensure fidelity, ethical practice, and multicultural competency. Cultural sensitivity should also be applied within the supervisory relationship and reflected in the miniatures. This chapter seeks to broaden the scope of practice for play therapy supervisors.
