IMSE In Your State
IMSE has worked with teachers, schools, and districts in several states across
the country to provide educators with the tools and techniques they need to
teach Structured Literacy effectively.
Districts should consider formulating an action plan for students that
are recovering literacy after the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are additional fees associated with some of the above continuing
education points, units, or hours. Fees and continuing education credits or
units are subject to change without notice. Please email credits@imse.com

IMSE Accreditations
IMSE is an accredited partner of the International Dyslexia Association and CERI meaning that our IMSE Impact Structured Literacy Professional Development programs and practicum are aligned with the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading (KPS).
Because the IMSE Specialist Certification is an IDA Accredited Plus Program, certified educators are knowledgeable about, and can apply the principles and practices of Structured Literacy in the classroom to prevent reading failure and properly remediate off-track readers.
IMSE Certified Partners
An IMSE Certified Partner is any school district or tutorial center that has an IMSE Certified Level 4 or 5 Master Instructor on site. Accredited Partners have made a commitment to training their K-2, 3-5, and/or special education staff in IMSE’s Comprehensive and/or Intermediate Orton-Gillingham course.
IMSE Certified Partners understand the importance of implementing IMSE's program with fidelity. The best way to ensure success and fidelity of IMSE’s Orton-Gillingham is to have an IMSE Certified Level 4 or 5 Master Instructor on staff to conduct trainings, provide support, coaching, and consultations, and act as a practicum supervisor.
Contact us today if your school or tutorial center is interested in learning more about
