Thank you for detailing the OGA and explaining how people become certified. Certification does matter when teachers are dealing with Tier 2 and 3 students.

How would you highlight the differences between OG and Wilson Reading System for a child with dyslexia?

[@theteachingcorner6738]

O-G is the umbrella approach that is the gold standard for multisensory teaching. It can be used with any program. Wilson is an Orton-Gillingham based program so it falls under the O-G umbrella. As with any program, it has a less flexibility as it has a scope and sequence that and 80% of the class is supposed to be at 80% before they move on. O-G is more individualized and more flexible than Wilson but does not come with ready made lesson plans because it is an appoach not a program.

How can I get the hours if im not activelly teaching in a classroom?

[@michellenorris7151]

You can tutor one on one. There are a lot of families looking for O-G tutors outside of school.

Excellent video, thank you. Do you recommend in person training over online?

[@theteachingcorner6738]

I think it is up to you. I personally prefer to be in person, but with the way the world is now, sometimes online is easier for people to access.
