Interested in Becoming a Partner School?
Our flagship model is designed for schools ready to commit to systemic change. Partner schools receive a multi-year implementation plan that includes:
In-depth Orton-Gillingham Classroom Educator training
Embedded coaching and support for general education, intervention, and special education staff
Data review and instructional planning with grade-level teams
Ongoing alignment with school-based goals and district initiatives
Our partnership is more than a training—it’s a strategic investment in instructional excellence. Interested schools must demonstrate strong leadership commitment and schedule alignment to support full implementation.

Interested in Individual Training?
We offer two pathways for educators seeking individual professional growth in evidence-based literacy instruction:
Multi-sensory Structured Literacy Training (Coming Soon)
This comprehensive training provides a strong foundation in structured literacy and multi-sensory instructional techniques, grounded in the science of reading. Designed for classroom teachers, instructional assistants, and special education staff, the training equips participants with practical strategies they can implement immediately.
To support successful classroom application, participants also receive access to follow-up virtual coaching and resources to reinforce learning and support implementation beyond the training day.
Recognizing the need for high-quality literacy training beyond our partner schools, we will begin offering a multisensory structured literacy pathway for teachers in non-partner schools.
Associate Level Certification (OGA-Aligned)
This comprehensive training follows the standards of the Orton-Gillingham Academy and includes:
- 70 hours of coursework
- A 100 hour supervised practicum
- 10 observations and feedback from a Fellow of the Academy
- Completion of this track leads to eligibility for Associate Certification through the Orton-Gillingham Academy.
Learn more about the Orton-Gillingham Academy and certification levels at www.ortonacademy.org.
School-Wide Professional Development Modules
We offer flexible professional development workshops that introduce core structured literacy concepts to larger school teams. These sessions are ideal for schools that are not currently in the full partner model but want to deepen staff understanding and create momentum around effective reading instruction.
Modules can include:
- A Dyslexia Simulation
- Executive Functioning and ADHD
- Multisensory Teaching
- Phonology
- Phonemic Awareness
- Early Literacy
- Socratic Questioning and Error Repair
- Multisensory Grammar
- Morphology
- Syllable Division (and how to teach it)
Transformational Teaching Moments:
“A 5th-grade teacher stopped me today to share how she already used some of the information/data presented in the professional development to help drive her instruction in class. Upon reflection, she realized that most of her day was spent lecturing and talking. Today, she worked to engage the Kinesthetic and Tactile instead of so much Visual and Auditory. She even brought in a couple of jump ropes from home for kids to use when they need to “fill their tank”. OGCC, thank you so much for funding these PD sessions.”
