The agency is seeking freelance content contributor services to enhance and refine reading and language arts materials. The project addresses the need to improve the language, tone, and structure of educational content to ensure clarity, age-appropriateness, and inclusivity.

The work also includes refining assessment items like multiple choice and constructed responses, as well as instructional supports like vocabulary lists, glossaries, and anchor charts. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States of America. The agency requires the performance of all work to occur offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through an online submission portal. The agency is looking for budget proposals to determine the cost of the services.
