Description: The Certified Level coursework is designed to expand and deepen the trainee's Associate knowledge base. This 36-hour course will further develop the trainee’s understanding of specific topics, such as morphology, vocabulary, comprehension, syntax, and expository writing in greater depth. At the Certified Level, instructors practice independently and must possess the background and skills to be able to work with students who have more complicated profiles; therefore, expanding the trainee's background in other learning differences that often co-occur with dyslexia, continuing to develop the ability to administer and interpret assessments, and writing and refining student profiles and lesson plans will be emphasized.
The Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators requires 100 hours of coursework at the Certified Level. Twenty-five of those hours can comprise conference attendance hours, and twenty-five hours can include web content or webinars approved by the Principal and/or Supervising Fellow.
The Certified coursework offered by The Southport CoLAB is divided into Certified I and Certified II, which do not need to be pursued in sequential order.
***This course does NOT include the practicum, which is required for Academy membership at the Certified Level; the Practicum can be arranged for an additional fee.
Note: The order of topics is approximate. Some topics will fill more than one session; others will be developed throughout the course. Videos will be included where appropriate. Those who complete the course will receive a certificate for 36 hours.
