Computer Programming Educators Course Service

The Everett, Massachusetts government authority is seeking a vendor to provide a Computer Programming for Educators course. The agency needs to increase teacher preparedness by supporting educators with coursework opportunities that build fluency in computer programming, including pseudo-code design and text-based, object-oriented programming. This initiative aims to prepare teachers to instruct an introductory high school computer science class that utilizes a text-based programming language. The scope of work requires the course to apply concepts related to abstraction, algorithms, computer programming, and program development and testing. The course may optionally begin by introducing educators to a graphical programming language, such as Scratch or Blockly, before transitioning to a text-based language. The selected vendor will perform the work through a combination of onsite and offsite delivery. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations. The agency accepts digital proposal submissions via email or through their online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and no specific key dates or explicit evaluation criteria are provided in the solicitation.
