We understand that qualified Orton-Gillingham teacher training courses may become available throughout the calendar year that we may not be aware of and/or may not have listed at the present time. If the training center or class that you are interested in applying to is not listed below, please contact us at least one month in advance of the course start date. Please allow one month for the committee to contact the center to determine if the course meets IDA standards. However, there is no guarantee that this program will be approved unless the teacher training program/course meets IDA standards. Please review our Teacher Training Scholarships page and guidelines document for complete details. Current scholarships are available up to $1500 per course, not to exceed the cost of the class and required materials.
For more information about what constitutes IDA standards for classroom teachers, please visit our national IDA website.
The Kansas- Missouri Branch of the International Dyslexia Association developed the Teacher Training Scholarship Program to provide educators in our bi-state region an opportunity to receive financial assistance for instruction in structured literacy. We use the National IDA’s list of accredited programs found here as our guide for programs that meet IDA standards. Occasionally, other programs are approved on a case by case basis with necessary materials and information provided to our Scholarship Committee for review. KSMO IDA does not endorse specific workshops or trainings to support students with dyslexia and receipt of scholarship funds from the KSMO IDA branch is not indicative of their endorsement.
