Stressful and depressing environment - Clinician Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Employee Review

Pros

The kids. It's a great feeling to be able to help children. The training provided for reading difficulties and disabilities such as dyslexia is much better than any online Barton certification.

Cons

Ironically the employees are taught to deal with the children in a very positive non critical manner, however the work environment was the opposite. In fact the design of the coaching of employees is set up to be highly critical from hour to hour. Senior employees are expected to find a list of issues to criticize new empolyees, and this went on for over 6 months. This was the most depressing job I've ever had. I dreaded going to work. It definitely effected my self esteem. The manager consistently made comments to me about my single parent status, such as, "I would think as a single parent you would want to take on more hours."

Pros

It’s great to try to help people, but…

Cons

They’re so set on their particular philosophical style, but realistically, it cannot be one size fits all. Clinicians who work there are NOT experts; they only get two weeks of training. And the sessions are extremely tight, with back-to-back students (just five minutes between each, leaving no time to prepare for the next one and no chance for clinicians to catch a breath). Lessons take place in cramped, mostly shared spaces, so everyone tends to be over-stressed. There’s no way that what is taught there, and the environment in which it’s taught, is worth what they’re charging families. Not to mention that the staff break room is like the size of a closet, and even in that tight space, many people just aren’t very friendly and hardly acknowledge your presence.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. We appreciate that our mission of helping students reach their learning potential resonated with you. At the same time, we are disappointed to read your comments regarding training, scheduling, and your experience with our instructional model. Our initial training is designed to prepare clinicians to begin working one-to-one with students using our unique approach. That training continues through ongoing mentoring and instructional guidance from experienced staff members who oversee lesson planning, monitor student progress, and support instructional quality. This team-based model is central to our instructional approach and to supporting student outcomes. We regret that the purpose and value of this model were not evident during your employment. We also recognize that learning center work can be demanding, particularly during busy periods, and we appreciate your perspective regarding scheduling and the work environment. Feedback such as yours is valuable as we continue working to improve communication and the overall staff experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
