Professional Instructional ELA Coaching and Learning Service

The North Providence School Department in Rhode Island is seeking a vendor to provide professional instructional English Language Arts coaching and learning services. The agency needs to support the development of grade-level team leaders, coaches, and school administrators as instructional leaders within their buildings. The selected provider will facilitate walkthroughs to collect data on the implementation of identified curricula, which will inform subsequent discussions and action plans. The scope of work requires conducting strategic planning meetings with district literacy coaches to align efforts across the district and vendor coaches. The chosen partner will plan for district-wide focus areas based on walkthrough data and collaborate on developing systems to support district-wide literacy initiatives. In conjunction with teacher leads, department chairs, and school leaders, the vendor will co-plan and facilitate instructional walkthroughs focusing on English Language Arts curriculum implementation across each building. The evaluations during these walkthroughs must analyze the depth of writing, critical thinking, academic discourse, student engagement, and differentiation for multilingual learners. The project scope includes fifteen half-day grade-level meetings, consisting of three meetings held at each of the five schools. During these sessions, grade-level teams will review walkthrough data, reflect on instructional strengths and needs, identify classroom trends, and determine actionable next steps. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all work to occur offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal, and the agency is currently open to receiving budget proposals for this initiative.
