transmitted by electronic media such as computers, video, and audio,
and detention and discipline areas, and school-sponsored extracurricular
activities.
(b) School boards may further utilize volunteer nonlicensed
personnel or employ nonlicensed personnel to assist in the
instruction of pupils under the immediate supervision of a teacher,
holding a valid license, directly engaged in teaching subject matter
or conducting activities. The teacher shall be continuously aware of the nonlicensed
persons' activities and shall be able to control or
modify them. The State Board of Education, in consultation
with the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board, shall determine
qualifications of such personnel and shall prescribe rules for
determining the duties and activities to be assigned to such personnel.
In the determination of qualifications of such personnel, the State Board
of Education shall accept coursework earned in a recognized institution
or from an institution of higher learning accredited by the North Central
Association or other comparable regional accrediting association and shall
accept qualifications based on relevant life experiences as determined by the
State Board of Education by rule.

regional School Crisis Assistance Team (S.C.A.T.), created as part of the
Safe to Learn Program established pursuant to Section 25 of the Illinois
Violence Prevention Act of 1995, to provide assistance to schools in times
of violence or other traumatic incidents within a school community by
providing crisis intervention services to lessen the effects of emotional
trauma on individuals and the community. The School Crisis Assistance
Team Steering Committee shall determine the qualifications for
volunteers.
(c) School boards may also employ students holding a bachelor's degree
from a recognized institution of higher learning as teaching
interns when such students are enrolled in a college or university
internship program, which has prior approval by
the State Board of Education,
in consultation with the State Educator Preparation and Licensure
Board, leading to a masters degree.
Regional offices of education have the authority to initiate and
collaborate with institutions of higher learning to establish internship
programs referenced in this subsection (c). The State Board of Education
has 90 days from receiving a written proposal to establish the internship
program to seek the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board's consultation on
the internship program. If the State Board of Education does not consult
the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board within 90 days, the regional office
of education may seek the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board's
consultation without the State Board of Education's approval.
(d) Nothing in this Section shall require constant supervision of a
student teacher enrolled in a student teaching course at a college or
university, provided such activity has the prior approval of the
representative of the higher education institution and teaching plans
have previously been discussed with and approved by the supervising
teacher and further provided that such teaching is within guidelines
established by the State Board of Education in consultation
with the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board.

teacher, for providing specialized instruction related to a

otherwise readily available in the immediate school environment, in the
fields for which they are particularly qualified by reason of their
specialized knowledge or skills. The duration of the instruction shall
be determined by the licensed teacher under whose direction the
program is conducted in view of the educational need to be satisfied.
Before a nonlicensed person may be utilized for such specialized
instruction, the school board must secure the written approval of the regional
superintendent of schools as to the qualifications of the
particular nonlicensed person, the particular instruction he or she is to
provide, the specific functions to be served, the total number of hours
he or she is to provide such instruction and any compensation to be paid that
person. The State Board of Education
shall prescribe, by
rule, criteria for determining qualifications of such persons and the
nature of specialized instruction for which, and the extent to which,
such persons may be used.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent the utilization of a person
with specialized knowledge or experiences as a guest lecturer or
resource person in the classroom under the direct supervision of a licensed
