Who We Are
Blue Engine is an education non-profit focused on ending the long-standing pattern of disproportionate student outcomes by shifting the paradigm of “typical teaching.” Blue Engine partners with schools and systems to elevate educators' mindsets and skills, ensuring all students can access and engage in grade-level learning in every lesson. We support educators in effectively teaching to learner variability by supporting the development of 1) inclusive mindsets & practices, 2) effective co-teaching and educator collaboration, and 3) data-driven teacher development systems. Our product offerings support school and systems leaders in system and school-level planning and design, instructional leader development, and content-driven teacher development.
Role
The Director of Program Implementation – Tennessee is an expert technical assistance provider who leads implementation and drives impact within one Tennessee Grand Division. As Blue Engine launches its statewide technical assistance partnership with the Tennessee Department of Education, the Director helps establish and deliver high-quality RTI²-A+B support within their region.
The Director spends most weeks working directly with LEAs, schools, educators, and leaders. They diagnose implementation needs, develop support plans, facilitate professional learning and collaborative communities, and conduct coaching cycles that strengthen RTI²-A+B systems and inclusive instruction.
The Director also manages and develops the contractors assigned to the Grand Division. They ensure technical assistance is timely, coherent, evidence-based, and aligned with Tennessee requirements and Blue Engine's standards.
