North Carolina Real Estate Commission wins Education Award at ARELLO®!
The Commission won an award for its Pre-Licensing Item Writing Workshops designed by the Education and Licensing Division.
The Commission sought to improve test item creation by developing tools, training, and processes to ensure quality license exam questions.
Members of the Education and Licensing Division started by outlining the subject matter defining minimal competence and, with educational experts, created a detailed content guide.
They then launched a 3-hour Instructor Development Workshop on item writing, accessible through the Commission’s learning management system, (LMS), in partnership with over 150 instructors.
Eight 1-day workshops were held across the state, where participants applied psychometric tools to develop over 400 test items, all of which were validated by professional psychometricians. Watch the acceptance video.
