      Overworked, Untrusted, and Ignored - Teacher Fusion Academy Employee Review

      Pros

      You have the ability to make good money if - and only if - you sacrifice your whole life.

      Cons

      Terrible management, little to no training, overbearing parents, lazy students, and zero work-life balance. Students with learning differences and behavioral issues will end up at Fusion, as there is nowhere else to go. This wouldn't be an issue - except for the fact that Fusion does not make this clear to applicants. Nor do they provide SPED training of any sort. Additionally, even students without noteworthy differences will not participate, as Fusion disallows grades below 70. I was instructed to give students at least a 70, no matter the quality of work. This is a pay-for-grades scam/high school degree mill.

      I'm sorry your experience at Fusion Academy was disappointing for you. You are correct that we are not a special education school, but we do work hard to provide appropriate training for our teachers to work with a wide variety of students. I'm guessing your comments about grades below 70, reflect our mastery learning model. Unlike traditional school models, we ensure our students have mastered the material before we move on in our instruction. For example, if a student has received a 60 on an assessment, the teacher would go back and reteach the material. I wish you the best on your future endeavors. - Christine Drucker, District Vice President

      Pros

      Work culture, amazing parents and students, opportunities for growth, location. Close to I95 and the Tri-rail station

      Cons

      The pay could be better considering the cost of living, tuition cost, and location. I also would love to see more funds invested into the Homework Cafe.

      Pros

      Fun culture, lots of lunches and/or snacks provided. Staff works with you to help you get more hours, for example, since your bills won't stop during the summer...

      Cons

      There are a lot, honestly. In a nutshell, you are expected to work as a full-time teacher, except you are paid as part-time or three-quarter-time. Not given enough planning time, which means that if you want to present a decent lesson and cohesive curriculum to your students, you will work for free: darned if you do, and darned if you don't. It seems like a good concept on paper, but apparently, it's hard to make their model work. Quality teachers want reliable income, but since Fusion (for whatever reason) can't pay decently, the good ones run as soon as they get something better.
