  • Classroom Educator Level – This is intended for educators teaching in a general education setting to provide & adapt literacy instruction for the whole class or small groups needing supplemental support.
  • Associate Level – This is the starting point for most educators interested in formal training in the Orton-Gillingham Approach to work with individual students or small groups.  The focus is on individualized, diagnostic & prescriptive aspects of lesson planning and delivery. 
  • Clinical Level (previously called Certified Level) – This is intended for practitioners who have completed the Associate level training & practicum.  This course expands & deepens your understanding of formal assessments and advanced concepts.  Lesson implementation and lesson plan procedures should be firmly in place from the Associate Level allowing for the focus to be on the student.
