Who we are

We’re a nonprofit with a focus on co-teaching in inclusion settings – the approach of having multiple teachers working together with a shared outcome. We aim to support classrooms, schools, and districts to go beyond a “one teach, one assist approach” to team teaching in Special Education (SPED). We identify needs, embed enabling conditions, and co-create structures to sustain collaboration, relationship building, and data-driven instruction for every student in general education and SPED settings.

How we address equity

Fundamental to Blue Engine is the value of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. We believe in the infinite potential of all human beings and an education system that should provide equal opportunity for all to seize that potential. We directly support teachers in building conscious mindsets through targeted activities, like learner profiles and classroom vision-setting, that help foster deep understanding of students as holistic individuals. We directly support leaders in developing equitable and individualized learning experiences for students by redesigning programming and policies to dismantle systemic barriers so that each and every student has an equal opportunity to succeed.

Why is this important?

How we build district capacity

Blue Engine intentionally partners with schools over an extended period of time in accordance with our school-based support model, which aims to embed HQIM-aligned co-teaching practices within the school environment. This model leverages teacher leaders through intensive coaching and PLCs to support adoption and spread of HQIM-aligned co-teaching practices. This model draws in school leaders through joint observations, vision-setting, and quarterly goal-setting to internalize these practices so that they are sustainable beyond the partnership. As a result, Blue Engine classrooms are able to support diverse learners without reducing the rigor of the HQIM beyond the scope of the partnership.

Why is this important?

How we provide curriculum-aligned PL

Workshops

We provide pre-created and/or 'stand alone' professional development (PD) to meet the needs of a classroom, school, and school systems. We tailor our content to meet the PD outcomes of educators in key areas of SPED.

Coaching

We support teacher teams and/or instructional coaches through coaching cycles based on Blue Engine’s rubric for effective co-teaching. Cycles include but are not limited to co-planning, observations, feedback, and practice aligned to a monthly development cycle.

PLCs

We work across multiple classrooms to embed effective co-teaching practices, approaches, and mindsets within the school. We provide direct support by facilitating Communities of Practice, guiding intentional teacher collaboration, and offering strategic intensive coaching for co-teachers.

Consultations

We support schools and districts to audit and assess the current enabling conditions for effective co-teaching. We support school and district leaders to plan for development, change management, vision for implementation, and essential systems required to sustain co-teaching in inclusion settings.
