Adult Advanced Course – Summer 2025

Online Course

In order to enroll in the Advanced Course, a participant must have successfully completed the Introductory Course, Intermediate Course and Extended Practicum. The participants will learn strategies to teach advanced reading and spelling skills including morphology (assimilative prefixes, roots, advanced suffixes), semantics, and syntax to improve fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The OG approach is a direct, explicit, structured, systematic, cumulative, and multi-sensory method that includes supportive error correction and analysis to drive instruction.  The participant will create lesson plans and work with students in a supervised practicum setting.

Participants are responsible for ordering their own course materials – a list of required materials will be provided upon registration.

NEW THIS YEAR:  In this course, each participant will work with just one practicum student. The participant will bring that practicum student with them. The student that the participant brings may be tutored either in person or online at 10:30 am CST on June 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27. You will receive an email after registration with more details. Participants will have the opportunity to register for 3 optional observations for the additional cost of $400. There are no set dates for these observations, they will be set up between the participant and the instructor.

Participants must attend all six sessions.
