Questionable Education Practices, Comfortable Work Environment - Clinician Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Employee Review

If you are an educator by background or motivated by quality, this company can have some questionable practices. Being that it is a for-profit education center, some of the testing practices I witnessed favored skewing results so it would look like students made more of an improvement (even when their tests after hours of instruction were lower or the same) and less support to students taking their entrance exams led to more accurate (usually meaning lower) scores as well. The company is high turnover because while management is interested in doing their best to support the learning center, they are not supported as well in developing managerial competencies consistently. The programs are not necessarily the most effective with teaching math especially, so there are moments where you really feel that you are there to sell a (faulty) product rather than to teach. The entry level position may feel like a call-center job because there is a script, but there is additional challenge of engaging students in such a way that some Clinicians in my experience have been disciplined for not going "above and beyond" with their customer service experience by risking themselves legally and physically to physically enter the personal space of students, be subjected to violence on the part of some of the students, or even subjected to inappropriate touch and gestures by the students. While that may come with a Clinician job, at my learning center, the reports made when such instances did happen also would be erased in favor of keeping a student in the center when corporate may have suggested their removal. It may have been for the student's best interest, but that is difficult to determine when there is such a strong profit motive involved as well.
