What is the Academy of Orton Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (AOGPE)?
The Academy of Orton Gillingham Practitioners and Educators accredits programs that expressly offer O.G. training. Programs so accredited are judged to provide appropriate preparation for persons who seek meaningful levels of competency with the O.G. approach. Academy criteria for accreditation emphasize the adequacy of curricula used by a program and the preparation and experience of the staff providing the training. Evidence of general support available to a program is also considered. Final accreditation also requires that the instructional leadership of the program be vested in a staff member who has the status of a Fellow in the Academy. A program whose application for accreditation is accepted is assigned a mentor by the Academy who assists the applicant at the various stages of the application process. Parties interested in this program should request specifics from the Academy.
