Employees of the Child Care Licensing Program have completed the National Association for Regulatory Administration’s Professional Writing Course for Licensing.
CCLP supervisor Gordon Salas, along with members of his staff—Rita Olopai, Gregoria Somol, and Edwin Basto—have taken the NARA online Professional Writing Course for Licensing with each scoring well over 90%.
CCLP is a division of the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs and regulated child care services companies in the CNMI. Each and every CCLP staff member must be well versed from drafting an email to the more complex report writing, as some of these writings might end up being discoverable materials in a court of law or in administrative hearings.
As a result, NARA has specifically created the professional writing course in the field of human care. The course taught CCLP’s staff members to critique their writing skills as well as that of their peers; the writing process; the nuts and bolts of style and grammar; and overall improve their writing for human care documentation. They each had to take and pass an exam composed of eight specific chapters in order to obtain their certificate of achievement. The examination was administered by the Edmund S. Muskie School of Public Service, University of Southern Maine, as approved by NARA.
