16        (b)  School   boards   may   further   utilize  volunteer
17    non-certificated   personnel   or   employ   non-certificated
18    personnel to assist in the instruction of  pupils  under  the
19    immediate   supervision   of   a  teacher,  holding  a  valid
20    certificate, directly engaged in teaching subject  matter  or
21    conducting  activities.  The  teacher  shall  be continuously
22    aware of the non-certificated persons' activities  and  shall
23    be  able  to  control  or  modify  them.  The  State Board of
24    Education,   in   consultation   with   the   State   Teacher
25    Certification Board, shall determine qualifications  of  such
26    personnel  and  shall  prescribe  rules  for  determining the
27    duties and activities to be assigned to  such  personnel.  In
28    the  determination  of  qualifications of such personnel, the
29    State Board of Education shall accept coursework earned in  a
30    recognized  institution  or  from  an  institution  of higher
31    learning accredited by the North Central Association or other

12    subsection (c).  The State Board of  Education  has  90  days
13    from receiving a written proposal to establish the internship
14    program  to  seek  the  State  Teacher  Certification Board's
15    consultation on the internship program.  If the  State  Board
16    of Education does not consult the State Teacher Certification

21    supervision  of  a  student  teacher  enrolled  in  a student
22    teaching course at a college  or  university,  provided  such
23    activity  has the prior approval of the representative of the
24    higher  education  institution  and   teaching   plans   have
25    previously   been   discussed   with   and  approved  by  the
26    supervising teacher and further provided that  such  teaching
27    is  within  guidelines  established  by  the  State  Board of
28    Education   in   consultation   with   the   State    Teacher
29    Certification Board.
