The third annual Real Estate Instructor Workshop was held in Raleigh on June 21-22, 1982. This year's workshop, which was cosponsored by the North Carolina Real Estate Licensing Board and the new North Carolina Real Estate Educators Association, again proved to be extremely successful. There were 115 workshop participants representing various schools and organizations involved with real estate education. Also in attendance were several guest participants and representatives from two leading real estate publishers.

The objectives of these annual workshops are to provide participants with a working knowledge of good instructional principles and practices, and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of practical information to real estate instructors.

Some of the major topics addressed at this year's workshop were:

• Pre-Licensing Education Update
• How to Prepare and Analyze Examinations
• Classroom Communications (Body Language)
• New Developments in Real Estate Financing
• Timesharing in North Carolina
• Duties and Responsibilities of Real Estate Agents
• Open Discussions on Standards for School Licensure/Approval and Licensing Requirements

The second day featured the first annual meeting of the North Carolina Real Estate Educators Association (NCREEA), which was highlighted by a decision to affiliate with the [National] Real Estate Educators Association. The newly elected president of the NCREEA for 1982-83 is Linda L. Johnson of Appalachian State University. NCREEA membership now stands at 162 and the future for this new organization is very bright.

In view of the continued success of these annual instructor workshops, the Licensing Board and the NCREEA plan to continue sponsoring this event in the future. The support of the dedicated real estate educators who make these workshops so successful is greatly appreciated by the Licensing Board.
