I had to incorporate two non cfm coders into a project here. Fusebox is such a great thing (whatever you want to call it) because after a little explanation it has a very demonstrable and very viewable structure with logicality and sensibility to it. I think you should be fine, far better off in my opinion than if were trying to show cfm methodologies in a non-fusebox app.
Hope it goes well for you.

I used to work with someone like that. It worked out great. I did
my part first, and gave him dsp_ files which worked, but had no
design. (Basically, the consisted of a <cfoutput>, some #variables#,
a pair of <pre> tags, and an occasional <cfloop>.) After a very
brief explanation of <cfloop>, he was able to take those dsp_ files
and put his design around them.
I didn't even bother explaining fuseactions or the switch statement
to him. I just told him all he needed to worry about was the dsp_
files. Because the application was already working, he didn't need
to worry about that. It was easy to figure out what dsp_ files
affected what.
Because he started off with a working, usable site, he
couldn't hand me back ideas that were unusable or impossible to
build. He did have some interesting ideas that to him were
impossible to implement. I told him to get as close as he
could by himself, and then I made as many of them as I could
work. So it was kind of cool: Rather than me saying "no"
where he thought the answer should have been "yes," I was
saying "yes" where he thought the answer should have been "no."
