A Bit Intense - Seasonal Clinician Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Employee Review

Pros

- Great, supportive coworkers! - Opportunity to learn new skills in how to effectively teach reading skills and work with students with difficult behaviors.

Cons

- Very micro-manage-y environment. They did not want me to clock in a minute early or late because they did not want to pay overtime. - Frequently, a coworker would sit in on my sessions with students and give me feedback on my teaching. This would sometimes happen four times in a day. - Though I was technically a full-time employee and had to have full availability, I would often be scheduled for part-time hours. - Strict dress code. Once I dressed up in soccer shorts for "Olympics Day" on a Wednesday and was made to go home and put on pants because my knee-length shorts were "too short." - Expectation to work all holidays.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. Your input is important to us. Every summer, seasonal clinicians help us make a difference in the lives of students. With our training and expertise, and your enthusiasm and skills, we make consistent gains with students year after year. Our research-validated instruction requires consistent delivery of our programs. One way we ensure quality instruction is by providing training, support, and feedback to summer clinicians. Our student outcomes depend on it. We appreciate your feedback about our student-based schedule, number of scheduled holidays, and pay rate. While we communicate these details to candidates, we will take your comments into consideration. We absolutely want seasonal clinicians to be prepared and excited about our typical summer schedule. Also, we’re happy to have raised the starting rate for 20+ locations this year! We are constantly making changes to improve the experience for our learning center staff. Thank you again for your review.

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.
