Faculty at Brehm School are wrapping up a week-long program on practical classroom and direct teaching strategies by Education Consultation of the Midwest, Inc.
C. Wilson Anderson Jr., MAT, President of Education Consultants of the Midwest, Inc., taught the program using the Orton-Gillingham Approach.
According to Wilson, the Orton Gillingham approach “grew out of the work of Dr. Samuel T. Orton and Anna Gillingham. Dr. Orton, a professor of neuropsychiatry and neuropathology at the Neurological Institute of Columbia University, was a pioneer in focusing attention on language differences by bringing together neuropsychiatric information and principals of remediation.
“The structure of the approach often helps to organize the student's general ways of learning and working ... This approach can be valuable to any child. To the dyslexic child it is often essential.”
The faculty participated in three separate programs this week:
- Introduction to Basic Multi-Sensory Synthetic Phonics for Struggling Students
- Introduction to Upper Level or Intermediate Level Multi-Sensory Synthetic Phonics for Students who have not Learned by Traditional Methods
- Multi-Sensory Strategies Across the Curriculum in Reading, Spelling, Arithmetic, Vocabulary and Thinking
