Whiteriver, Arizona, United States — Luisa Adalin Tancioco, a mathematics educator and instructional leader based in Whiteriver, Arizona, is expanding her professional work to address one of the most urgent challenges facing U.S. K–12 education: persistent declines in mathematics achievement and critical gaps in special education (SPED)-aligned intervention systems. Drawing on extensive experience across U.S. and international education settings, Ms. Tancioco has published two policy white papers outlining a scalable approach to strengthening mathematics outcomes and inclusive instructional quality for underserved school districts, including rural and high-need communities.

The white papers include:

1. Developing and Scaling a Data-Driven Math Intervention and SPED-Aligned Instructional Framework for Underserved K–12 Schools: A Policy White Paper, and
2. District Capacity, Dual-Role Instructional Leadership, and the Urgent Need for Scalable Math and SPED-Aligned Intervention Systems in Underserved K–12 Schools: A Companion Policy White Paper.

Together, these publications articulate a structured, evidence-informed framework to deliver district-level outcomes through standardized intervention toolkits, SPED-aligned progress-monitoring systems, and educator capacity-building models that can be implemented across multiple schools and districts.

A Record of Leadership in Mathematics Instruction and Inclusive Intervention

Ms. Tancioco currently serves as a Math Teacher with Whiteriver Unified School District #20 at Alchesay High School, where she delivers standards-aligned instruction and learning outcomes through assessment-based monitoring and instructional planning. Her approach emphasizes consistent progress tracking, instructional adjustment based on learner needs, and collaboration with educators to support academic outcomes for diverse student populations.

Her work is reinforced by more than five years of prior experience as a Math 9/SPED Teacher under the Philippine Department of Education, where she delivered inclusive instruction, adapted learning materials for special education needs, and supported students requiring individualized academic interventions. She has also held leadership and mentoring responsibilities as a Mathematics Department Head, providing instructional guidance to fellow educators and supporting school-wide improvement efforts.

Addressing a National Educational Emergency

U.S. school systems continue to confront persistent declines in mathematics achievement, widening learning gaps, and educator workforce constraints, especially in special education. These challenges are most severe in underserved communities where students frequently require structured intervention supports and where districts may lack the specialized staffing needed to implement intervention systems with fidelity.

Ms. Tancioco’s policy papers respond to these national conditions by proposing a scalable framework that strengthens multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS/RTI), increases consistency in Tier 2 and Tier 3 math intervention delivery, and integrates SPED-aligned progress monitoring and documentation as core features.

Key Contributions of the Primary White Paper

In her primary publication, Ms. Tancioco outlines a comprehensive framework grounded in five core principles:

• Evidence-based tiered intervention systems,
• SPED-aligned inclusive instructional design,
• validated screening and progress monitoring tools,
• implementation fidelity and educator capacity-building, and
• scalable district infrastructure and replication readiness.

The model includes: 1) Tiered Mathematics Intervention Toolkit — a standardized intervention resource that supports Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction with diagnostic pathways, aligned lesson banks, SPED modifications, and differentiated scaffolds. 2) Data Cycle and Progress Monitoring System — a structured screening and monitoring framework designed to support measurable instructional decision-making and continuous improvement. 3) Professional Development and Coaching Model — job-embedded teacher development through coaching cycles, intervention fidelity checks, and collaborative data review systems.

Implementation Feasibility: The Companion White Paper’s Dual-Role Leadership Model

In her companion policy paper, Ms. Tancioco addresses a critical practical question: How can under-resourced districts implement scalable intervention systems while facing staffing and capacity constraints?

The companion paper documents and supports an operational strategy widely used across U.S. districts: dual-role instructional leadership models—such as instructional coaches, curriculum implementation leads, and Teachers on Special Assignment (TOSA)—which allow credentialed educators to maintain classroom responsibilities while also supporting district-wide professional learning, coaching, and program coordination.

This dual-role staffing approach supports scalability and sustainability because it allows districts to expand instructional leadership capacity quickly, maintain classroom-grounded credibility for coaching roles, and strengthen intervention fidelity across multiple sites.

Professional Credentials and Academic Preparation

Ms. Tancioco’s work is supported by formal academic and professional credentials, including a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Santo Tomas, completion of a Teachers Certificate Program, and passing the Licensure Examination for Teachers. Her combined technical training and classroom leadership experience position her to bridge curriculum design, instructional improvement, and data-informed intervention system development.

Commitment to Collaboration and Educational Equity

Ms. Tancioco’s work emphasizes collaboration as a critical lever for systemic improvement. Her policy publications reflect a commitment to evidence-based intervention design, districtwide scalability, and inclusive instructional leadership that strengthens outcomes for underserved learners, including students receiving SPED services and students requiring Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports.

Luisa Adalin Tancioco welcomes opportunities to collaborate with school districts, educational leaders, professional associations, and academic institutions committed to advancing equity in mathematics education and instructional leadership. She offers customized training, keynote speaking, and capacity-building workshops focused on inclusive instructional design, evidence-based math intervention, and data-driven teacher development through her consultancy work.

Pine Hill, New Mexico — Dr. Ariel G. Belza, Ph.D., an award-winning STEM educator, instructional leader, and international research presenter, announced today the launch of a groundbreaking national initiative aimed at transforming the quality of STEM and Special Education (SPED) instruction across underserved school districts in the United States. The initiative, titled “Designing and Scaling Evidence-Based STEM and Special Education Instructional Systems to Strengthen Learning Outcomes in Underserved U.S. School Districts,” brings together more than 15 years of Dr. Belza’s experience as a teacher, curriculum specialist, and academic scholar dedicated to improving educational equity.

The program seeks to address two of the nation’s most urgent instructional challenges: declining STEM proficiency and persistent achievement gaps among students with disabilities. With STEM performance declining across multiple grade levels nationwide and chronic shortages of certified SPED and science teachers affecting districts in Arizona, New Mexico, and rural regions, Dr. Belza’s initiative arrives at a critical moment for American education.

A Vision Rooted in Research and Classroom Experience

Born in Camarines Sur, Philippines, and now serving communities in Arizona and New Mexico, Dr. Belza brings a rare blend of academic expertise, U.S. classroom leadership, and international training experience. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Development Education, a Master of Arts in Special Education, and a Master of Science in Agricultural Education. This combination uniquely positions him to design, evaluate, and scale instructional systems tailored for diverse learners.

His professional journey spans elementary, junior high, senior high school, and higher education roles across both the Philippines and the United States, including formative teaching positions at San Roque Elementary School, Don Mariano C. Veneracion National High School, and Doroteo Federis Sr. National High School in Camarines Sur, Philippines, as well as significant roles at Nogales High School (AZ), Crownpoint Middle School (Gallup Mckinley County Schools, NM), Santa Fe High School, and most recently Pine Hill Schools, where he continues to serve as a science educator and head of the CTE-Agriculture program and instructional leader

Across these environments, Dr. Belza has witnessed firsthand the barriers faced by rural, tribal, and high-poverty communities where limited resources, STEM teacher shortages, and SPED service gaps create persistent disparities in student outcomes.

A Nationally Relevant Initiative with Community-Driven Purpose

The initiative’s central goal is to develop and deploy evidence-based instructional frameworks that equip U.S. educators with scalable and research-backed strategies for teaching science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and inclusive practices. According to Dr. Belza, improving educational outcomes requires more than curriculum alignment—it requires systems that support teachers, empower students of all abilities, and bridge structural inequities.

“STEM and SPED instruction must evolve together,” Dr. Belza says. “Every student—regardless of geography, ability, or socioeconomic background—deserves access to high-quality, research-based instruction. My goal is to support educators with tools that work, and to ensure underserved learners are not left behind.”

His initiative focuses on four core pillars:

1. Instructional Framework Development Creation of STEM and SPED-aligned curriculum maps, inclusive lesson designs, and hands-on activity frameworks anchored in national standards.
2. Teacher Professional Development & Coaching Delivering in-person and virtual training that equips teachers to implement differentiated instruction, IEP-aligned STEM strategies, and classroom-based action research.
3. Data-Driven Instructional Improvement Supporting districts in establishing evidence-collection systems that track student performance, teacher progress, and intervention effectiveness.
