Job Description



Fusion Academy is the school that changes everything! We’re a fully accredited 1-to-1 private school for grades 5–12, where every class is personalized for each student’s strengths, interests, and learning needs

As a Department Head, you’ll lead by example — inspiring teachers to create engaging, differentiated lessons while fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and excellence. Please note: Not all campuses serve grades 4 and 5, and specific details will be shared during the interview process.      

What You’ll Do: 

  • Support and mentor teachers to deliver creative, standards-based, and student-centered instruction. 
  • Conduct observations and walkthroughs, offering constructive feedback and coaching toward growth goals. 
  • Facilitate professional reflection, goal setting, and continuous improvement among your department team. 
  • Lead monthly department meetings to align best practices, policies, and Fusion-wide curriculum standards. 
  • Guide new teacher onboarding, training, and ongoing development within your subject area. 
  • Review files and records to ensure consistency, accuracy, and compliance with Fusion expectations. 
  • Serve as a resource for instructional ideas, parent communication, and curriculum implementation. 
  • Partner with campus leadership to maintain high standards of professionalism, creativity, and care. 
  • Contribute to campus culture through participation in community events and collaborative initiatives. 

 

What We’re Looking For: 

  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or teaching credential preferred. 
  • Relevant academic experience, ideally at the middle or high school level. 
  • Strong knowledge of curriculum, assessment, and differentiated instruction. 
  • Ability to coach and inspire teachers while maintaining accountability and support. 
  • Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. 
  • Understanding of learning differences and a passion for personalized education. 
  • Positive, proactive leader who thrives in a dynamic, student-centered environment. 
  • Commitment to continuous learning, collaboration, and professional growth.
