Catapult Learning reviews

little autonomy with regard to teaching style, pressure for students to do well on standardized testing, tons of paperwork, suffocating supervision, lack of appreciation, low salary with consideration of years of experience, outdated texts and teaching materials, 80% of energy spent on lesson planning

Very high turnover among supervisors and teachers. There has been a revolving door of 4 different supervisors within the past year. Upper management cannot seem to keep anyone due to the low pay, extremely heavy workload, and heavy driving all around the city. Training is disorganized and needs a lot of work. Teachers leave training feeling more overwhelmed and lost then before. There is very little guidance, lack of materials provided, and little to no support to fulfill the unrealistically high expectations set by management. Too much work, too many schools assigned per supervisor, and too much driving is involved. More time is spent in traffic commuting to school sites than the actual completion of work. Teachers are expected to perform miracles using outdated curriculum that does not sufficiently fill in the academic gaps. Lastly, be prepared to put a lot of wear and tear on your car due to the amount of driving required.
