Expected Learning Time: 3 minutes

Welcome to Republic Schools and Fuse training!

Fuse is our catchy name for blended learning training here in Republic, it is blended learning that sparks possibilities. Fuse training originated out of the RepMO Ready Plan (more on that a bit later), the long term plan that started back in 2015 with the mission to deploy a student-centered personalized instructional approach to learning where technology is utilized in meaningful ways.

This 3.5 hours of online learning is a combination of Fuse training and formal new teacher technology support. Fuse is about learning, so this 3.5 hours of online learning connects with the 3.5 hours of seated learning on August 6, 2019, and 2 hours of seated learning during the New Teacher Institute on August 7, 2019 to provide a foundation for beginning the school year. It doesn't stopt here though, as you'll hear from us at your individual buildings. The learning continues as we seek to achieve our mission.

Learning Goal: To introduce district policies, technologies, and resources to new staff members.

Some of this will be really formal stuff. Please recognize that we value your time and your commitment to learning, which is why we're offering this learning online. We do not believe that you will become experts in district policies or software pieces through this learning. Your building mentors and buddies will be beneficial to you as situations arise for these skills. And, as always, your building level ETS will be glad to support your learning.

Completion Expectation: Complete this online learning by the end of the day on August 6, 2019. *You may choose to complete the learning prior to our seated learning on the morning of August 6th, or you may choose to stay in the afternoon to complete the learning collectively, where we will be available to assist and answer questions, or you may choose to complete it on your own in the afternoon/evening prior to the start of the NTI on August 7.

PLAN:

When will you complete this online learning?
