Outline: Join our OG Trainers to learn how to implement the OG approach in a classroom or small group setting such a Learning Assistance / Resource centre or primary classroom. This course will investigate OG classroom procedures for providing structured, sequential, multisensory language and phonics instruction in a classroom setting, including procedures for RTI implementation and progress monitoring.  Provide instruction in reading and spelling that allows your students to be “Detectives” of the language and learn the code for mastering phonology, orthography, and syllabication. Strategies for penmanship/ letter formations, sight word teaching, alphabet sequencing, sound/symbol relationships, spelling rules, and syllables will be examined and practiced. Specific strategies for explicit reading and spelling instruction will be examined and practiced. Lesson planning and delivery of practice lessons are an important component of this course. 

This is a 60 hour course provided over 5 or 6 synchronous classroom sessions AND online asynchronous coursework presented before and after live classes.

Prerequisite: Open to practicing teachers, speech pathologists and others with education degrees AND successful completion of Foundations of OG/MSL. Materials package and access to our online pre-study and course information will be sent out approximately one month prior to the first synchronous class, marking the start of the coursework.  Pre-course work must be completed before the first day of synchronous classes.

This course includes synchronous and asynchronous hours. The synchronous hours with our trainers are held either live and in person or online via Zoom and the option is noted with the session dates for the synchronous hours in the time zone presented. Asynchronous content will be opened and course materials will be mailed out approximately 30 days prior to the synchronous sessions, marking the start of the course. Registrants will receive an email from your trainer confirming this start to the course and your required study work prior to the first live class. If you reside outside of BC, Canada, you will receive an invoice for delivery costs at the time of shipping.

** Our courses are popular and often fill quickly. If you choose to waitlist for a seat, please note that you are not guaranteed a seat in that course, and your waitlist is only for that session. On the rare occasion that a registered person withdraws or moves with enough time for another person to receive materials and prepare for the course, then we will manually connect with the next person on the waitlist.
We do not automatically move someone from one waitlist to another. If you want to join us, be sure to register for a course with a seat available. If you’ve been waitlisted for an earlier course and a seat happens to become available in that earlier course, we can move your completed registration to that earlier course. Please be aware that when you are waitlisted, we do not reach out to you unless a spot opens up. **
