Planning And Practice Suite of Applications

The Pennsylvania Department of Education is seeking a qualified Offeror with professional and technical expertise to develop, customize, enhance, maintain, support, administer, and facilitate the components of the Planning and Practice Suite of Applications. The agency needs to sustain and improve a specific ecosystem of educational tools designed to support student achievement, school planning, and graduation tracking. This initiative aims to solve the ongoing challenge of managing and updating critical state-level educational portals and databases through a single, cohesive suite of applications. The scope of work covers five distinct digital components within the suite. The first component is the Standards Aligned System, which is a web-based portal serving as a comprehensive resource for student achievement and offering an extensive catalogue of professional development courses. The second component is the Future Ready Planning Portal Index, which functions as a collection of school progress measures reflecting student learning, growth, and success. The remaining scope of work includes three additional tools. The agency requires support for the Future Ready Comprehensive Planning Portal, which serves as the plenary planning framework and reporting tool for Local Education Agencies. The project also encompasses the Pathways to Graduation Tool to track student progress toward meeting statewide requirements and to streamline Future Ready Comprehensive Planning Portal graduate reporting. Finally, the work includes Agency, an online database of commercially available virtual course offerings for both K-12 students and educators. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based entirely in the United States. The agency requires the selected contractor to perform all work offsite.
