TEACHER TRAINING
Cullinan Education Center, Inc. offers workshops for teachers who wish to increase their effectiveness with students who exhibit weaknesses in decoding and encoding.
OUR BEGINNING
Joanne Cullinan founded the Cullinan Education Center in 1990, based on her experience raising a bright child with dyslexia who served as the inspiration to create a center that could meet the academic needs of all individuals.
OUR MISSION
Cullinan Education Center is dedicated to providing extraordinary science based interventions in reading, writing, spelling and math. Taking what has been learned in the lab and applying it into the educational setting, ensuring that every individual reaches their full academic potential.
OUR METHOD
Orton Gillingham Programs
The instruction is planned to meet the needs of each individual learner.
Multidisciplinary
Using the combined knowledge and skill of experts in the fields of education, medicine, psychology, social work and language theory.
Multisensory
Using all of the learning pathways: seeing, hearing, feeling and awareness of motion.
A Cognitive Approach
Students are guided to understand the reasons for what they are learning rather than relying only on memory.
Emotionally Sound
Instruction promotes successful experiences for students, which in turn promotes self-confidence and motivation.
When students begin to see their own success, they feel more confident. We are celebrating successful students every day at the Cullinan Education Center! Students and staff from Cullinan Education Center take a break from Academics to have some fun.
PARENT TESTIMONIALS
ORTON GILLINGHAM WORKSHOPS
Cullinan Education Center Inc. offers workshops for teachers who wish to increase their effectiveness with students who exhibit weaknesses in decoding and encoding. Our curriculum is based on an adaptation of the well-known Orton Gillingham method (a multi-sensory, kinesthetic tactile, explicit phonics approach).
Orton Gillingham Workshop Meets Requirements for New Assembly Bill 1369 Going into Effect at the Start of the 2017-2018 School Year
The passage of AB 1369 mandates that students receive early identification and appropriate intervention for dyslexia. General education and special education teachers will need to receive the proper training and implement the proper curriculum to address the needs of children with dyslexia. We are one of the few programs that include curriculum with training.
