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
Blue Engine is seeking a Northeast-based Director of Implementation to implement Blue Engine’s products across the region, with much of the portfolio expected to be NYC-based. The Director of Implementation will lead the contextualization and implementation of our cohort products, supporting educators and leaders in using data effectively, delivering instruction that meets learner needs, and strengthening collaboration and co-planning. The coach will directly support partnership launch, job-embedded development, and data-to-action planning for our cohort products. Additionally, the Director of Implementation will lead professional learning and serve as a project team member, supporting systems to develop effective enabling conditions for inclusive instruction. This role is ideal for someone passionate about instructional coaching and creating inclusive classrooms for all learners.
