Professional Development Services

The Westerly Rhode Island school district requires professional development services to build leader and teacher understanding of continuous improvement practices. The agency is trying to solve the problem of inconsistency in high-quality literacy and writing instruction across its elementary, middle, and high schools. This initiative aims to increase staff capacity to identify, scale, and sustain effective instructional practices that ultimately improve student literacy outcomes. The scope of work covers a series of five to ten training sessions delivered in a mix of in-person and virtual formats based on school and district needs. The selected provider must integrate evidence-based best practices in educational leadership and strategic planning while offering leadership coaching, consultation, and follow-up support for key stakeholders. The program must also incorporate opportunities for case studies, action planning, and real-world application of strategic planning concepts to develop shared expectations for writing instruction and assessment. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. Performance of the contract work must take place onsite in Westerly, Rhode Island. The agency accepts digital proposal submissions via email or through their online portal. The agency is looking for budget proposals to determine the cost of the project, as no specific budget limit is pre-defined. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 13, 2026. The source document does not disclose specific evaluation criteria or additional key dates.
