We Don't Just Train Teachers. We Build Literacy Systems.
America's premier literacy training and district consulting organization. Trusted by the NYC Department of Education, Chicago Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools, the Archdiocese of New York, and 1,000+ schools in all 50 states. 18 years. Award-winning. Results-proven.
TRUSTED BY AMERICA'S MOST DEMANDING SCHOOL SYSTEMS
WHY SCHOOLS COME TO OGI
Most Schools Have a Literacy Law. Most Don't Have a System to Meet It.
Every state now has literacy or dyslexia legislation with real deadlines. Most principals we talk to are surprised by what they're actually required to have in place — and even more surprised by what happens when a parent files a complaint or a state audit arrives and the district has no documentation. OGI fixes that.
The Deadline Is Real
State mandates have deadlines, documentation requirements, and audit processes. Schools that act now are protected. Schools that wait face parent complaints, state scrutiny, and legal exposure.
Training Alone Doesn't Work
Most schools have sent teachers to OG training. Most saw limited results — not because the training was bad, but because there was no system built around it. OGI builds the infrastructure that makes training stick.
RTI on Paper, Not in Practice
Nearly every school has an RTI document. Very few have a real RTI system with decision rules, validated progress monitoring, and data teams that actually adjust instruction based on what they see.
Parents Are Better Informed
Parents who understand IDEA rights and RTI processes are no longer waiting. When a school can't show its documented system, it creates legal exposure and trust erosion that costs far more than building the system.
