Rewarding but difficult job

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Working with people who are highly motivated to help children and very dedicated. Great training provided. Learn a lot about teaching and behaviour management

Cons

Pay is not great for the difficulty of work. Draining job as motivating students required all your energy. Can feel like upper management does not make changes where required due to structure being set in stone from the top down.

Pros

The kids! That's it, really.

Cons

- The programs. Seeing Stars is their most reliable program, but it's based almost completely on bottom-up reading (phonics, memorization) and very little on using comprehension and top-down methods (which is what ALL current reading research supports). VV doesn't work and OCN is a joke. - Nancy Bell's husband is the head of R&D. They have about 1 "real" research study which focuses on a change in gray matter volume in the brain. No longevity studies following students who have completed the programs, yet they've been around since the 80's. I wonder why? - Very fake culture. - I was promoted a lot, very quickly. I naively took the promotions and at the end was making a great salary but felt horrible about my work (selling these fake programs to desperate parents for an unreasonable amount of money (tens of thousands per summer). For the vast majority, this will be a summer job and you will have no career opportunities. - CRAZY turnover. They basically hire all new teaching staff every summer. As a parent, this should concern you. Your child's teachers are almost always going to be brand new and overworked.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. We take comments like yours into consideration when reviewing training and communication materials. While we appreciate your candor and personal perspective we are compelled to clarify a couple of the points in your review. Every year, seasonal clinicians help Lindamood-Bell meet the needs of students during their summer break. During their time at Lindamood-Bell, seasonal clinicians are paid to learn and implement the steps of our evidence-based approach. Our most experienced year-round staff diagnose, write lesson plans, pace, and more. Seasonal clinicians are offered a role with a set start and end date. We will also address our evidence-based instruction and results. Neurological and behavioral research by parties unrelated to Lindamood-Bell, as well as controlled studies by a variety of university research programs are the validation of Lindamood-Bell instruction(https://lindamoodbell.com/category-article/indirect-outside-research). Our instructional quality teams ensure consistent application of our programs throughout our Learning Centers and Lindamood-Bell Academy, our accredited school. Lindamood-Bell may not be a right fit for everyone, but the positive effect of our approach on student lives should be evident to all. We will continue to improve on how well we help staff understand what they are doing and why. Thank you again for your review.
