Preamble Texas Admin Code Rule

(a)-(e)(No change.)

(f)To be approved as an instructor of any MCE course, a person must satisfy the commission as to the person's competency in the subject matter to be taught and ability to teach effectively. Except as provided in subsection (s) of this section and for instructors of single course offerings, if the person is not currently approved by the commission to teach the subject areas of the course, the person must submit Form ED 4-0, Instructor Application, and meet the requirements of §535.64(I) of this title (relating to Accreditation of Schools and Approval of Courses and Instructors). A person who has received a credential as a certified real estate instructor (CREI), distinguished real estate instructor (DREI), an instructor of the Realtor Institute (GRI), or an instructor who has received a comparable credential from another organization as determined by the commission will be deemed to have met the requirements of §535.64(I) as regards teaching experience and education. The commission may also approve an instructor for a single offering of a course. The provider must submit an MCE Form 3C-1, MCE Single Course Offering Application, and provide a resume to show that the proposed instructor is qualified to teach the subject matter.

(g)-(r)(No change.)

(s)A provider may use as a guest speaker a person who has not been approved as an instructor, provided that no more than a total of three hours of instruction is taught by the person during an approved MCE course. If the guest speaker will be providing more than one hour of instruction, the provider must submit to the commission before the course presentation a resume or other biographical information showing that the guest speaker is qualified to teach the subject matter. The commission-approved instructor must remain in the classroom during the guest speaker's presentation, and only one guest speaker per course may be utilized.

This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority to adopt.
