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.
The Role:
The Manager of Program Implementation – Tennessee is an expert technical assistance provider who delivers high-quality implementation across a portfolio of Tennessee local education agencies (LEAs). As Blue Engine launches its statewide technical assistance partnership with the Tennessee Department of Education, the Manager helps deliver and strengthen high-quality RTI²-A+B support across Tennessee. The Manager spends most weeks working directly with district and school leaders, instructional coaches, interventionists, and educators. They diagnose implementation needs, develop support plans, facilitate professional learning and collaborative professional communities, and conduct coaching cycles that strengthen RTI²-A+B systems and inclusive instruction. The Manager owns the quality, progress, data, communication, and logistics associated with their LEA portfolio and collaborates closely with the Director responsible for their Grand Division.
