Cleland, S. “Internships are Second Best”, Liberal Education. LX (1969), pp. 421-432. Suggests that the best approach for developing competent college teachers is through a formal college or university program on the campus where the teacher goes to teach on a full-time basis.

(Boone, North Carolina: Appalachian State University, December 1969), 61-61 pp. ED 038 979 JC 700 137. The “how” of this conference is more important than the “what” for two reasons. The first is that it reached a great number of schools by inviting teams of two, and the second is that it became an annual event. The most pertinent paper to this topic was presented by I. E.
