Instructor Development Workshop for Broker Management Clinics

The Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) issued Substantive Policy Statement (SPS) 2012.01 in August 2012. It requires certain real estate brokers to attend 9 hours of Broker Management Clinic (BMC) courses. The instructors for these courses must also meet certain requirements prior to being approved to teach these BMCs.

These Instructor Development Workshops (IDWs) are intended to educate, assist and develop potential BMC instructors.

IDW for BMC #1 – Statutes & Rules:

This IDW will focus primarily on honing the potential instructor’s knowledge of statutes, rules and policy statements. While having this requisite knowledge is important, knowing how and where to access and research the statute, rule or SPS is necessary too. In addition, being able to relate these statutes, rules and policy statements to the purchase agreements, leases, employment agreements and property management agreements in common use is critical.

A secondary focus of this IDW will be to provide food for thought as to how an instructor might approach developing and delivering BMC #1 to ensure that the student audience is engaged and enlightened.

Rather than just inform the IDW participants of the information they need to know, this IDW will take the approach of first questioning the participants about their knowledge of the subject matter and then discussing and clarifying any areas where confusion exists.

 IDW for BMC #2 – Broker Policies:

The majority of the students in the Broker Management Clinics will be brokers who run and manage real estate companies. No matter how qualified the instructor may be, it is  a foolish teaching strategy to simply lecture these students on how to create and implement policies. In BMC #2  the instructor will be more of a facilitator, allowing the students to interact with their peers and educate each other.

IDW for BMC #3 – Supervision:

In order to make BMC #3 relevant and interesting, the first question any instructor must try to answer is, “What are the important/problematic supervision issues that real estate companies are encountering?” The various ways this can be accomplished will discussed.

The next question to answer is:”Are the issues identified the broker’s responsibility or legal obligation?”

Finally, the participants will brainstorm and discuss the many and varied ways supervision problems might be handled.
