Orton Gillingham Seminars

The Cullinan Education Center offers seminars for teachers who wish to increase their effectiveness with students who exhibit weaknesses in decoding and encoding. This methodology is vital for those students who have language deficiencies, and is beneficial for students of all ages, since it emphasizes the structure of the English language in a direct, concrete approach. The training is aligned to State Board of Education standards as evidenced by our approval as a provider of professional development in reading. Our curriculum is based on an adaptation of the well-known Orton Gillingham method (a multi-sensory, kinesthetic tactile, explicit phonics approach).

Years of research and proven results are proof that the methods we use work. What better way to meet the needs of both students and committed teachers than to offer a teacher training seminar? The training is Orton Gillingham based and offers the following:
