Alternative Teaching Jobs at Fusion: Helping Teachers Love Work Again
We’re relationship-driven
At Fusion, We believe that significant learning can only take place once there’s a genuine connection between teacher and student. Using a one-on-one model, teachers get to spend more time with their students and get to know them on a personal level. They create real and meaningful relationships with students that help them feel loved and connected. This sense of belonging motivates students and is highly rewarding for teachers. The traditional school system does not often leave space for relationship-building. But alternative teaching and education models jobs, like the ones implemented at Fusion, prioritize real connections.
Customized educational experiences for students
It can be very disheartening when the system fails students who have specific needs. Not everyone thrives in a traditional classroom, and Fusion’s one-on-one approach ensures that every student is getting the education they need to thrive. It also makes it more exciting for students, as they work on subjects tailored to their individual interests. Teachers are empowered to create a custom education plan for their students with all the appropriate resources, which is a much more rewarding experience.
District and national support
One of the biggest challenges we know teachers face is not getting enough support from the district and even on a national level. Many states are cutting funding for K-12 education, and on the national level, federal spending for Title I schools is down 8.3% since 2010. For disabled students, federal spending on education is down 6.4%. This leaves teachers in a tight spot, often having to use their own pocket money for resources for their classroom. Staff shortages leave many with larger classroom sizes or covering extra duties — and not getting paid any extra for it. Alternative teaching jobs, like the ones you’d find with Fusion, have additional support from the school to buy resources, receive ongoing education or mentorship, and other customized learning their students need to thrive.
Strong community of educators
At Fusion, we know the value of community. Having a tight community of teachers around you can be crucial for your career growth and fulfillment. A strong network of peers provides mentorship and support, and it’s always easier to take on challenges when your people have your back. Our teachers at Fusion can access a network of teachers not just within their campus but throughout the entire Fusion global community. Ask questions, seek advice, make friends, and grow as a teacher.
Life-changing impact
We know that teachers don’t go into education for glory or fame. They go into the profession with a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of their students. At Fusion, you can make a real impact on the students you teach. That one-on-one model allows for real connections to develop, trust to form, and dedicated attention to learning. Teachers who love teaching get to do exactly that at Fusion, and the reward is incredible.
