INSTRUCTOR WORKSHOP
The North Carolina Real Estate Licensing Board held its second annual Real Estate Instructor Workshop in Raleigh on June 3-4, 1981. Attendance at the workshop was outstanding, with 141 representatives present from 69 Board-approved schools. 77 participants were from community colleges and technical institutes; 12 were from colleges and universities; and 41 came from private real estate schools. There were also 11 guest participants, including representatives from Educational Testing Service and two leading real estate publishers.
The objectives of the annual workshops are to provide participants with a working knowledge of good instructional principles, and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of practical information to real estate instructors.
The highlight of this year's workshop was a presentation by Dr. J. Robert Cox of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill on the subject of 'Effective Communication in the Classroom."
