Blue Engine

Congratulations to our partners at Summit Shasta on being named a 2026 California Distinguished School! This recognition points to the kind of learning environment Summit Shasta is building every day – one where students are challenged, supported, and have real access to meaningful opportunities. We’re grateful to partner alongside a team so deeply committed to this work. Together, we’re focused on using co-planning to expand access to grade-level learning for diverse learners. Shoutout to Anita Ravi and to the incredible teachers, students, and families who make this community so strong. Matthew Guerrero Sam Eiseman

Taking a quick break to brag about my wonderful team! Out of 326 proposals (!!), Blue Engine made it to the final round of the The Learning Agency's #ToolsCompetition. If funded, we’ll develop EveryLesson: Co-Teaching AI, a tool to help teachers and instructional coaches turn co-teaching into a real instructional lever, not just a staffing structure. Right now, classrooms with teams of educators often default to low-impact approaches, even when the potential is so much greater. It’s not the presence of a second adult that matters, it’s HOW that adult is used. This tool helps educators translate real classroom context into clear, actionable plans: who does what, when, and how all learners will be supported to access grade-level work. Excited to be in the final round, and even more excited about what this could mean for teachers and students. Check out all the finalists here. https://lnkd.in/gD2WzkYa #education #inclusivepractices #coteaching #tools

Bienville Parish School Board, recently recognized as one of Louisiana's top improving districts for students with disabilities, joined us this week at Rivet Education's Quarterly PLPG Provider Webinar to share what taking their Blue Engine partnership even further under an OBC has unlocked. The mid-year data spoke for themselves. Here's what shifted for teachers in just one semester: - Teachers reporting they are teaching more inclusively and equitably: 62% → 80% - Teachers reporting they are maximizing all adults in the classroom in service of student learning: 40% → 80% - All three teacher teams moved up at least one proficiency level in both collecting and acting on data "When you walk into the classroom, you literally do not know which student had a disability or who didn't." — Dr. Mary Riley, Bienville Parish School District This is what mutual accountability looks like in practice. The Provider Learning Series prepares providers to build partnerships like this one. Learn more and apply: https://lnkd.in/dw2udefV

Grateful to be recognized by Rivet Education as a Multilingual Learner Badge recipient. This badge affirms our commitment to helping districts implement high-quality instructional materials in ways that truly serve multilingual learners, grounded in research and built for real classrooms. We’re glad to be alongside partners working to advance equitable, inclusive instruction for all students.

Come learn with us about how to build coherence in multi-adult classrooms! Blue Engine’s Meredith (Rosenberg) Pasake and Matthew Guerrero, alongside Dr. Sabrina Brown of Theodore Roosevelt High School, are excited to present at ASU’s Next Education Workforce Strategic Staffing Summit on February 5 at 10:15 AM MST / 12:15 PM EST. In our session, Coherence Check: Re-Thinking the Support Model for Team Teaching, we’ll share how Roosevelt HS aligned leadership, coaching, and teacher expectations around a single priority -- improving outcomes for students with IEPs in co-taught classrooms. You’ll walk away with a practical, 4-step Coherence Check framework that helps leaders strengthen team-based instruction by reconfiguring existing systems (not adding more to already full plates). If you’re a system leader, school leader, or education partner navigating the complexity of multi-adult classrooms, this session is for you. 👉 Join us: https://lnkd.in/gcTCHj25 #NextEducationWorkforce #TeamTeaching #StrategicStaffing #DistributedExpertise #BlueEngine

A powerful reminder that AI should never replace what matters most in classrooms: skilled educators who know their students deeply. Thoughtful design and implementation can help ensure every learner stays connected to grade-level opportunities.

Heading to the Learning Forward Conference in Boston? Let’s connect. Team Blue (Aisha Chappell, Ray Canada, and Tiffany Galloway) will be joining educators and leaders from across the country next week -- and we’d love to meet fellow attendees who are thinking about instructional coherence, inclusion, and strengthening adult collaboration. Check out our teammates at these two sessions designed to share real lessons from district partners and spark practical, high-impact conversations: 📘 Scaling Systemwide Inclusion (Session 1214) Monday, December 9 | 9:30–11:30 a.m. ET Join leaders from New Bedford, Fitchburg, and Methuen as we explore what it takes to build sustainable, district-wide systems for inclusive instruction -- rooted in co-teaching, shared expectations, and academic-centered data. 📘 Eliminating Lopsided Achievement with Strategic Professional Learning (Session 2203) Tuesday, December 10 | 9:30–11:30 a.m. ET We’ll unpack why achievement often varies across content areas and how aligned professional learning can fix it. If you’ll be in Boston, we’d truly love to connect -- whether you’re attending our sessions, looking to swap insights, or curious about how districts are strengthening inclusive, grade-level instruction. #LearnFwd25

Don't forget, we’re going live with the Louisiana Reading Association this Thursday! If you’re interested in co-planning routines, using high-quality instructional materials with flexibility, or supporting students who learn differently -- this hour is for you. Hope to see you there! #LRA #LiteracyLeaders #BlueEngine #LiteracyForAll #LRAWebinarSeries

Come learn with us at the Learning Forward Annual Conference in Boston! Blue Engine is excited to join educators and leaders from across the country to dig into what it takes to build inclusive, coherent instructional systems that support every learner. If you’re attending, we’d love to see you at our sessions: 📘 Scaling Systemwide Inclusion (Session 1214) Monday, December 9th, from 9:30–11:30 a.m. ET Featuring: 🔹 Aisha Chappell, VP of Program Implementation Across Massachusetts, district teams are building stronger systems for inclusive instruction — centered on co-planning, academic-centered data, and aligned coaching. In this session, we’ll explore how districts are: • Embedding co-teaching practices that elevate both equity and rigor • Strengthening collaborative planning structures • Using academic-centered data to drive coherence • Creating the enabling conditions that make inclusion scalable and sustainable If you’re working to strengthen core instruction for multilingual learners and students with disabilities, this conversation is for you. 📘 Eliminating Lopsided Achievement with Strategic Professional Learning (Session 2203) Tuesday, December 10th, from 9:30–11:30 a.m. ET Featuring: 🔹 Ray Canada, Associate Vice President of Program Implementation 🔹 Rivet Education Are your achievement results strong in one subject but lagging in another? This session breaks down why uneven curriculum implementation drives those gaps— and what systems can do to address them. We’ll explore how to: • Analyze implementation using a research-backed framework • Align strategies across ELA and math • Learn from real-world examples of cross-content professional learning • Identify the right external partners to fill capacity gaps If your system is navigating multiple instructional priorities at once, you’ll leave with concrete tools you can use immediately. We hope to connect with fellow leaders committed to expanding access to rigorous, inclusive learning every day, for every student. See you in Boston!
