COURSE DESCRIPTION
Motivational Interviewing Assessment: Supervisory Tools for Enhancing Proficiency (MIA: STEP) is a course for clinical supervisors
who want to enhance the MI skills of counselors and other direct service providers. The tools fortify a supervisor’s ability to provide
structured, focused and effective clinical supervision. The MIA-STEP training introduces clinical supervisors to an effective strategy for
observation-based clinical supervision, the use of which has potential to improve counselor skills in motivational interviewing.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the training, participants should be able to:
 Demonstrate that they have become acquainted with the MIA-STEP manual and explain how it is used to clinically supervise
clinicians in MI.
 Describe how to use a MI adherence and competence rating system to provide clinicians with feedback about their
performance.
 Demonstrate that they have learned how to use MIA-STEP tools to coach clinicians in MI.
 Deliver clinical supervision using a supervisory style consistent with MI.
 Practice using a learning plan to set goals and objectives designed to enhance counselor proficiency in MI.
Using the MIA:STEP tools and processes included in the training and materials will:
 Enhance the quality of the agency’s clinical supervision.
 Build counselor knowledge and proficiency in using MI strategies.
 Provide a model which can be used for improving counseling and supervision skills beyond the MI assessment.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This is an advanced program for clinical supervisors who are looking for a way to measure MI proficiency in their staff. Attendees must
have MI training as a prerequisite; this training focuses on tools to measure MI and is not an MI training.
