Great people - Director of Professional Learning Stern Center Employee Review

Work life balance Management Collaborative workplace

Salary is lower than schools

* Tutoring students one-on-one and tailoring instruction to each * Having an office space to work in and deliver instruction * Freedom to design lessons based on the science of reading * Mentally stimulating & educated colleagues

* Time allotted for work was unrealistic. * Upper management struggled to retain full-time instructors due to the SC's unrealistic workload. Most instructors worked part time for a healthy life-work balance. * Onboarding was weak and insufficient given the complexity of the data management system used. * Health care benefits were poor. Downsizing to a smaller more modern building (vs 3-story sprawling] could help funnel more money toward health care benefits as could reducing advertising. There was a waiting list of students and not enough full-time instructors.
