27TALJM1 - Measures - Final.docx

This is a Performance Measures document for the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), Office of Language Acquisition (OLA), supporting the Advancing Statewide Implementation of the HQIM for NGESL Initiative (Alternate ID #27TALJM1, COMMBUYS Bid #BD-27-1026-DOE02-DOE01-131584). The project seeks to establish measurable performance expectations across a four-year contract term to evaluate vendor outcomes in supporting statewide implementation of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) aligned with Next Generation ESL (NGESL) standards. Key deliverables include facilitation of 11 annual statewide NGESL HQIM cohort sessions, completion of up to 5 curriculum reviews with reports and action plans annually, delivery of differentiated technical assistance to participating districts, and completion of NGESL Toolkit accessibility reviews and resource updates aligned with Massachusetts Digital Accessibility Standards and DESE-approved accessibility requirements.

The performance measurement framework establishes 100% achievement goals across all metrics for each contract year, organized into four categories: Program Outcomes (increased district capacity for HQIM-aligned ESL instruction, strengthened district systems, and expanded statewide access to implementation resources), Program Outputs (cohort facilitation, technical assistance delivery, and toolkit updates), Program Efficiency (on-schedule deliverable completion, timely toolkit accessibility updates, and district participation retention), and Program Effectiveness (systems improvement integration, toolkit accessibility improvements meeting standards, and documented impact of technical assistance on HQIM implementation efforts). All participating districts are required to demonstrate increased implementation readiness on pre/post assessments and submit completed HQIM implementation plans annually throughout the contract period.
