Instructional Programs are schools, camps, and clinics that provide Orton-Gillingham instruction to students. Unlike Training Programs, which prepare individuals to become Orton-Gillingham practitioners, Instructional Programs provide instruction to learners.
Instructional Programs may provide individual and small-group instruction. Schools may also incorporate the Orton-Gillingham Approach throughout the school day. The instructional leadership of an accredited Instructional Program must be vested in an Academy Fellow.
Accreditation
To be eligible for accreditation, an Instructional Program must have been in operation for at least three years. Schools must already be accredited by an official school accreditation agency. The program must have an Academy Fellow providing instructional leadership and instructional staff who are Academy members at various levels of certification or are in the process of becoming Academy members.
The program must meet Academy standards for staffing, curriculum, instruction, professional development, and program oversight. The accreditation process takes a minimum of one year.
