High Quality Curricula and Professional Learning Service

The Rhode Island Department of Education in Providence is seeking high-quality core curricula, supplemental curricula, and professional learning services in social studies. The agency aims to provide Local Education Agencies with the necessary materials and training to support effective social studies instruction and implementation. This initiative addresses the need for comprehensive educational materials and continuous, evidence-based professional support rather than isolated, stand-alone workshops. The scope of work covers K-12 core and supplemental social studies instructional materials in print or digital formats. Core materials must constitute the full academic course of study, while supplemental materials must reinforce and enrich the core instruction. The requested professional learning must be student-focused, aligned with district curricula and strategic plans, and centered on rigorous classroom content. The agency requires professional learning that incorporates active learning, supports collaboration in job-embedded contexts, models evidence-based practices, and provides ongoing coaching and expert support. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located within the United States. The selected contractor will perform all work offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and will award a contract for a period of one year.
