WELCOME to the M.A. Rooney Foundation Orton-Gillingham Training Registration site!
What is OG? The Orton-Gillingham approach is the most efficient strategy for delivering phonics instruction to ALL students!
It is imperative to deliver OG with fidelity, in conjunction with ongoing administrative support, for maximum success.
The OG approach utilizes evidence-based procedures and activities to maximize the opportunities for students to apply and retain skills. OG varies from traditional phonics instruction by its emphasis on the following instructional components:
- Systematic – Daily lessons utilize logical lesson sequences (warm-up drills, cumulative review, teaching something new) through routine procedures (consistent directions/activities). Systematic instruction allows students to attend to the important elements of the lesson – the content, not the directions.
- Explicit – An “I do. We do. You do.” direct instruction model provides students with the necessary support to apply new skills. Explicit instruction eliminates guesswork and reduces misunderstanding.
- Synthetic – New skills are taught in a part to whole approach and in a scaffolded manner. Each skill is intentionally taught for spiral review and application. Synthetic phonics instruction typically utilizes a back-mapping approach to identify essential skills, which are then sequenced based on the prerequisite nature of subskills.
- Multisensory – The brain processes (retrieves, responds, and retains) information using a complex wiring system. Through procedures that involve visual, tactile/kinesthetic, and auditory exercises, information can be more efficiently processed by the brain.
Basic OG Training Overview: This 4-week blended online course includes independent work and eight live virtual group sessions. Live lectures take place using the Zoom platform and are scheduled from 3:30-5:00 p.m. each Monday and Thursday, through the duration of the course. Full attendance is required. Prior to each live Zoom session, participants will need to complete approximately 2 and ½ hours of independent coursework. Independent coursework includes video lectures, required readings, and practice activities. Proficiency activities, including online Knowledge Checks (quizzes), recorded video demonstrations (using the Flipgrid platform), and a one-on-one instructor sign-off activity are also course requirements for successful completion. A detailed syllabus will be provided to ensure participants have a clear understanding of required tasks.
