Avis sur K12

Avantages

Great program and love the flexibility of working from home.

Inconvénients

teacher pay is not competitive

Avantages

Working to make a difference in the education space.

Inconvénients

Work/Life balance could be better.

Avantages

- Amazing people with a true love for students - A great mixture of educators and business folk - Handles the balance of a for-profit company in the non-profit sector very well - Has no tolerance for anything illegal or misleading - Top leadership is experienced and respected in the field of education

Inconvénients

- They've lost their innovative edge over the years - There is a tendency to apply solutions without fully understanding the problems - In an attempt to be agile, there's often not enough time provided to fully try out and implement new ideas - Experience and institutional knowledge is no longer valued or respected - Yearly (sometimes more often) reorganizations prevent consistency in programing and progress - When...

Conseils à la direction

- Messaging from the top is important, but just saying something is so doesn't make it so. You really need to consider a different product solution for the differing needs of kids. - Stop with the constant reorganization. - Show more respect to employees - there's a constant barrage of veiled criticism of middle management that they just aren't trying hard enough - Pay teachers more

Avantages

Easier classroom management and way less bullying than at brick-and-mortar schools; can wear whatever you want from the waist down (jeans, shorts, flip-flops)

Inconvénients

WAY OVERLOADED with number of students assigned to you (try at least 30-35 IEPs while also being in class and in meetings for the majority of the day); most sped teachers at FLCCA will tell you they work anywhere from 10-18 hrs PER DAY and 8 on weekends and are still drowning. Most of them beg for more time to help their students with special needs, yet the administration refuses to egg knowledge their need for more...

Conseils à la direction

Although your schools are for profit being that K12 is a for-profit company, it still would be nice to make your teachers feel valued and appreciated. Then maybe you would have less turnover. It would also be super nice if you actually cared enough about the students to hire more teachers so that quality learning can actually take place. If you treat your teachers and students/family as well, then you would not constantly...

Avantages

Vacation time, personal time and sick time. Benefits were good.

Inconvénients

Some staff was difficult to work with.

Avantages

*work from home *excellent staff and administration *great support

Inconvénients

*salary is $15,000 less than classroom teacher position *benefits are not cost friendly and not like most insurance options for teachers

Avantages

My Team was great to work with & I actually had an amazing boss. Both the Corporate office staff & school educators are passionate about their jobs. True life long educators in the school's leadership.

Inconvénients

Total & regular disconnect between the Corporate office's vision/program and the execution or implementation out in the field. K12 grew at such a rapid rate, without all the infrastructure to support the massive expansion.

Avantages

Highly experienced staff and educators are teaching the students and earning the company money. Students come back each year for their teachers, however, k12 only sees each student as a dollar sign. They don’t care why students return or leave as long as they’re making their profit gains. Most students return because of the relationships they’ve established with their teachers. Pay them!

Inconvénients

They waste and spend more money on staff travel expenses, hotels, meals, flights, etc. than they do on actual staff salaries and benefits. 401k match is a joke. No student loan forgiveness as a teacher because k12 is a “for-profit” company. This job is marketed toward stay-at-home-moms who want to still work and raise their kids without having to use daycare. If you’re single and trying to support yourself, you’re better...

Conseils à la direction

Wake up CEO’s and President! Without teachers engaging your students (dollar signs), you wouldn’t have a company! Stop wasting money on unnecessary expenses and pay teachers what they deserve! Your employees are constantly looking for something better because it’s what they deserve!
