Real stories from educators who’ve transformed their teaching with RIE Training, unlocking new strategies to engage students and foster deeper learning.

"Participating in this training was by far one of THE BEST professional development experiences I have ever had. The quality of practical and applicable information equips and empowers me to make a difference in the lives of my students. Sarah Rideout was an exceptional training fellow. Her organization was inspiring and her mentorship is invaluable. The entire experience was well worth the time, energy, and cost. I highly recommend interested participants to go for it! You will not regret it."
"Sarah's instruction during the OG training was nothing short of remarkable. Her deep knowledge, clear communication, and engaging presentation style made the complex material not only understandable but also enjoyable. She fostered an inclusive learning environment, encouraging active participation, and her dedication to helping us master the Orton Gillingham approach was evident in every session. I feel truly fortunate to have learned from such an exceptional instructor."
Sarah is a thorough, knowledgeable, and caring Fellow. She presented the information for the Associate Level Orton-Gillingham training in a clear and concise manner. She was direct and explicit in presenting all material and expectations. I am very much looking forward to continuing on with Sarah to complete my practicum and become certified in O-G with her!
