What’s Involved?
Start a Practice
This virtual 30-hour training is hands-on with 5-day personalized sessions that provide a complete understanding of IMSE's Orton-Gillingham method and the skills necessary to apply it in the classroom, small group, or one-on-one.
This course focuses on phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. After participating in this training, teachers will be able to assess, evaluate, and teach children how to read, write, and spell proficiently.
Upon completion and submission of video, you will receive the IMSE Comprehensive Completion Certificate.
Complete an Apprenticeship
The Lucy Project Apprenticeship involves 60 hours of hands-on reading remediation sessions at a Title I school. You will receive coaching from a professional while teaching four times a week, one-on-one. We will provide the student for you to do your training.
During this training, you will develop lesson plans, be observed and guided while using the IMSE OG methodology. Participants will be required to submit benchmarking and progress monitoring data, submit reports, complete assignments, and weekly meetings.
All Inclusive
The Lucy Project will pay for all software and fees related to your training and testing, which will be 30 hours.
In return, The Lucy Project asks you to volunteer an additional 60 hours. We are happy to work with your schedule and will provide the student for you to do volunteer hours. After the Comprehensive training, you must be available to teach for 1 hour daily until you have finished your commitment.
This is a rigorous program and a signed contract with The Lucy Project is a must.
