17 7. CONCLUSION Our primary thesis has been: Beginning supervisor development is a transformative learning process best understood through a transformative learning lens. We have attempted to show how that is so, considering the host of possible transformative learning outcomes that emerge in the developing supervisor’s struggle to become. May we as supervisors of supervisor trainees contribute to their development, their growth with regard to Self, Worldview, Epistemology, Ontology, Behavior, and Capacity. And may the evolving supervisor trainee come to have and to hold the internalized and ineradicable conviction that: “I am a supervisor”. REFERENCES [1] Vîşcu, L-I., Cădariu, I-E., & Watkins, C.
