_____________________________________________________________________________________
This 30-hour course meets the requirements for the Orton-Gillingham Classroom Educator designation with the Academy of Orton Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (AOGPE). It is the first step in preparing teachers to use the OG approach in the classroom setting and allows teachers to use direct instruction to bring a multi-sensory, structured, and linguistic phonics-based approach into the whole class and small-group setting (Tier 1 and Tier 2). The curriculum will include: dyslexia and reading disorders; the rationale of the OG approach; handwriting; phonological awareness, phonics, syllable division patterns, and spelling; elements of multisensory instruction, diagnostic-prescriptive teaching, and lesson planning; and AOGPE membership structure and requirements. Instruction includes workshops, simulations, and small group work. All materials are provided.
OG CE Practicum: The OG Practicum is available during the academic year for a separate fee for those seeking OG certification.
