i hated the Environment in this palace, they have full control on you, they don’t like any ideas you present, not collaborative at all, everyone above you position have control on you and always right even if they did mistake never admit they will put it in you.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. We are very concerned to hear how you felt working at NECC. At NECC is the US and Abu Dhabi we strive to create an environment for staff and students that is positive, supportive, and promotes growth. NECC developed our curriculum based on applied behavior analysis (ABA) and 40+ years of experience. ABA is the only proven treatment approach with empirical data and a body of scientific literature to support its success with children. Yes, ABA requires teachers to follow specific methods, but the methods are effective. We want staff to feel empowered to ask questions about the curriculum, to expand their knowledge and experience through our graduate degree programs, and to become leaders in the field of ABA. We'd like to learn more about your experience. If you would like to share specific feedback, please email me at rmcgrath@necc.org. - Rachel McGrath, Director of human Resources

Pros

The kids are the best part. It's good for those who have little to no experience. They pay for a masters degree.

Cons

Lead Teachers have no training in managing people. The lead teacher sits at the desk all day on their phone, eating and micromanaging. It's not really a school schedule. You must be present for 8 hours even if the kids are not there, and you have no other work to do. You get only 2 random weeks off in the summer. The pay is not worth it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are grateful for the direct care staff who work with our students every day to bring out their potential. Our lead teachers have many administrative responsibilities, working with each student's team of clinicians, parents, and liaisons that may not be visible to other staff. However, if you have performance concerns about your lead teacher, please share it with your clinical supervisor. Thank you for all you do!
