Our take
With research showing that the diversity of needs in classrooms is becoming ever more complex, Blue Engine uses data-driven plans to help teachers create teaching plans based on existing curricular resources.
The non-profit is especially focused on high schools in low-income communities, providing plans for inclusive and collaborative practices and helping teachers design clear and impactful lesson plans. The aim, ultimately, is to address the diversity of thinking, language and learning differences within high school classes, thus ensuring all pupils are getting the teaching they deserve - and in the right way for them.
