education group attacks intern program by george bittlingmayer the teaching intern program of lehigh's school of education is under fire from the pennsylvania state education association psea the state's largest teacher organization john a stoops dean of the school of education said the psea has made it more difficult to place our interns by encouraging its local bargaining units to try to get a clause in their contracts prohibiting intern employment programs which include teaching in ternships are presently in effect at five pennsylvania colleges and account for a small percentage of the teachers certified each year lehigh interns teach one year under the limited supervision of the school of education following a pre-intern program which according to stoops is in almost every case . as intense as that which has been required for teacher certification he said that although the interns are qualified for teaching certificates cer tification means their effective removal from the program stoops said that we like to keep control of the student during the year william a cornell assistant executive director for professional development of the psea said that in addition to the negotiations which locals are conducting on the matter his group will attempt to have legislation passed making it illegal for anyone not certified or not under the direct supervision of a certified teacher to conduct a class the university's authority over interns should be terminated and substituted with a program in which interns work under the direction of a teacher said cornell a qualified certified teacher should be in charge of a class teachers won't stand for colleges telling them what to do he ad ded cornell said the psea does not oppose internships or the lehigh intern program we object to the use of an uncertified program what we're against is that a person who calls himself an intern can take a job away from a certified teacher he said cornell contended that an uncertified person in charge of a class is also in violation of the law although no interns have been prosecuted lehigh interns teaching without direct supervision by certified teachers are para professionals and according to.the state attorney general are subject to arrest said cornell this charge was disputed by alice d rinehart assistant professor of education and director of the secondary teacher intern program at lehigh who said that the intern certificate has been declared valid by the state board of education fishkin service hubert flesher university chaplain has announced that a memorial service
