Learn It Systems

What is the best part of working at the company?
When you contract for LearnIt and are assigned a school, you are supported by the admin team as you create your own space , relationships and curriculum based on your students' needs.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They deduct for hours your students may not be in class, regardless of the prep time you've put in. For example, if there is a field trip, or a religious activity where students do not attend, they deduct from your pay for that class time.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Before Covid, there were regular in person meetings with the entire local cadre where teachers could meet each other. There was usually a platform where one or two would present ideas and share resources with the group. Once we Zoom'd, the comraderie waned. Before I left, there were a lot of very young "new" teachers at the admin level who pushed a lot of district teaching requirements at us older, retired teachers who actually know how to teach but weren't interested in writing district type lesson plans and proving which state and local standard we were teaching each day.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Like most school days! Get to work, be ready for small groups in a small area, know behaviors will happen, and get to the point because your time is limited with each group.  Basic content! Phonics and Arithmetic for the lower grades, constructive writing and algebraic thinking past the 5th grade. Grab their classroom teacher between classes to check in re: what they are teaching and align your plans to classroom content.

As a program supervisor this was the worse company I have ever been employed by. In my experience and gatherings many other supervisors complaints we were overworked and not fairly paid, not receiving promised bonuses, and dealt with unprofessional senior management. 
As a salaried program supervisor, Iwork more than 8 hours on most days. Management would have to approve you prior to receiving overtime pay and most likely she would request you to change your hours to total 40 hours. Therefore, you will not be paid for overtime. During your interview and on board process you are informed about an annual bonus. Luckily I knew we would not receive one. Their explanation given is because the owner of the company did not make his required millions. So basically, he keeps your share regardless of your hard work it goes overlooked. 
Lastly, the senior management and a couple directors and executives who oversees the program managers discredits your efforts, imposes impossible expectations for one person’s ability and riddles with negative connotations.
In my region, I was discredited due to racial undertones from a couple of the stakeholders. Unfortunately, senior management will not support you or be in your defense for obvious monetary reasons.
In conclusion, this is a horrible company to work for. You are highly overworked, underpaid and unappreciated if your role is positioned below senior management.

Terrible place to work if you have minimal experience. Be careful if you agree to work here and you don't have much experience (with very very low pay). Learned Behavioral' s poor training and lack of guidance will very likely set you up to fail. You could look bad - when in actuality - it's the company's short sighted training and mentoring program that is to blame. 

If this company chooses to save on costs and hire employees with minimal experience (with low, low pay), then they must invest in a better mentoring program. Otherwise this company will continue to waste time and money on employees that will fail and make the company look bad. 

Shame on this place for hiring young, ambitious people who want to do a good job and end up looking looking incompetent and feeling miserable because of poor training and communication. You get what you pay for. If you want better quality (without having to train well) - then hire someone with more experience and better pay. The behavioral health field is a challenging field to work in. Families pay a lot of money for you. Quality training and good management is a must. $13 an hour with one week of training for new hires with no experience working with special needs kids is NOT ENOUGH (and in my opinion - if the families knew you were cutting corners with your hiring and training - you would not be in business).

The program is written well and in theory, the idea is great. The problem is the lack of support to implement and teach the program and academics. During interviews much was stated regarding support and training. However, in actuality, there is not much of either one. If you’re looking for a place outside of public education please know there is not much difference from a traditional school, except as a teacher with Desert Choice you have zero plan time or lunch which makes collaborating and planning extremely tough. Overall, the significant challenging needs of the designated student population, career expectations, and lack of time do not allow for professional or student success. The highest administrators/directors appear to be out of touch with the day to day operations and it’s unfortunate. The definition of the partnership between the schools is unclear which can create confusion and frustration.

I only worked for Learn it for 1 day. The reason was because, I felt that I was not fit for a position as a tutor for a subject that I am not confident in. During the interview process Learn It did make it clear that math (im not good at), could potentially be the only subject I tutor. However they said it's essentially a toss-up, it could be only math or other subjects. The position seemed more like a co-teaching position, not exactly a tutor. I do think their pay was worth it as a "tutor". The hours were manageable if you are in college as well. For my one day working there I ended up covering for someone in the afterschool program (i did not apply for that). Their afterschool tutoring program is one that could be and should be organized, I was helping kids with their hw, but we were expected as well to do a mini lesson in the areas they struggle with. I think with more communication with their teachers those kids have the potential to really improve their reading. 

Learn it does a great job of making its employees feel heard and supported. Yet they also do an excellent job of letting you do your job, "micro-management" free!
They trust and respect their employees.
The biggest challenges do not come from Learn It but from the Districts that employ them. All of my school assignments have been with kind and supportive admins. 
The big downside is unpaid summers. But this is discussed openly before an offer is made. Learn It does provide opportunities for summer work, but depending on your specialty, there may not be jobs available. So have a backup plan!
Overall, if you are not looking for a district job, Learn It offers flexibility, above average compensation and supportive management.

I enjoyed working and teaching the children at this preschool   There were a lot of issues with management getting the center licensed in the appropriate time frame.  This agency had 8 preschool programs to licensed and there was an outright lack of follow through on licensing practices.  I believe that Learn It had good intentions but their staff which were mostly out of state did not have a clue about operating a preschool center.  It took 9 months to get licensed and then it closed for lack of profit 3 months later.  I loved the job, I loved teaching the children and coloborating with White Hat Management who contracted with Learn It to provide preschool services.

Site directors had to continually lie to parents/school staff saying site would be licensed within a month when in reality in the 5 months I was there staff was not fingerprinted, had any licensing required training, paperwork needed was before starting was not completed until 4 months into the program.
Management finall admitted to having no knowledge of licensing
Designated area was not safe for children
Sire Director had to leave students unsupervised to answer the door.
Restrooms designated for the program were kept locked
Games provided were mostly on the preschool level
Management showed no concern for the needs of the staff
Benefits would cost half of pay


What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexibility and an excellent staff.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Needing more time to provide a bigger impact on students. The time frame is predetermined and Learnit operates within the budget provided so not their fault. However, it is my only stressor .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Welcoming, helpful with a diverse yet addressed culture.  They have a vast variety of schools they service and a diverse staff to accommodate the variety of schools providing the comfort needed to be at your best while at work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My days are busy yet fun. Reaching the students with the variety of manipulatives and STEM projects encourages students to want to learn and it fosters higher thinking.

The students that I work with are the best part of the day. If you're a part-timer there, you'll feel left out and the supervisor has no boundaries. They'll email you or reach out to you on your days off and expect you to respond.
You only get paid for the session you provided if the students are absent regardless you showed up at the school, your day will be wasted, no incentives for situations like this. You'll be doing much more than the job requires, i.e., case notes, parent workshop, and using your cell with no stipend. The work we do as counselors is great, but not worth it at LearnIt.
