Why Should I Take An Extended Practicum?
- You need additional supervised teaching hours to apply for an Orton Gillingham certification.
- You need additional observations by an OG Fellow to apply for an Orton Gillingham certification.
- You value the additional coaching that you get when you take one of our Extended Practicum Programs.
