About
Cullinan Education Center offers instruction in reading, math, writing and grammar, as well as reading and spelling. The program also provides study hall sessions, teacher training, Orton Gillingham workshops, and support related to learning differences and dyslexia. Instruction is planned to meet the needs of each individual learner and uses research-based programs for basic math and effective instruction in advanced math.
Cullinan Education Center’s curriculum is based on an adaptation of the Orton Gillingham method, which is a multi-sensory, kinesthetic tactile, explicit phonics approach. The program uses a multisensory approach that includes seeing, hearing, feeling, and awareness of motion, along with a cognitive approach in which students are guided to understand the reasons for what they are learning rather than relying only on memory. Study Hall sessions are daily teacher-monitored group sessions for students whose grades do not reflect their intellectual potential. The center also offers workshops for teachers who want to increase their effectiveness with students who have weaknesses in decoding and encoding, and is one of the few programs that include curriculum with training. A multidisciplinary approach brings together knowledge and skill from experts in education, medicine, psychology, social work, and language theory, and instruction is described as emotionally sound, promoting successful experiences that support self-confidence and motivation. Joanne Cullinan founded the Cullinan Education Center in 1990. Cullinan Education Center states that it is dedicated to providing extraordinary science based interventions in reading, writing, spelling and math, taking what has been learned in the lab and applying it into the educational setting so that every individual reaches their full academic potential. The Orton Gillingham Workshop at Cullinan Education Center meets requirements for California Assembly Bill 1369 that went into effect at the start of the 2017–2018 school year.
