Statement of Work

Curriculum Alignment Ongoing Support & Services

1.0 Background

A Bureau Operated School (BOS) Curriculum Review was conducted to identify and analyze strengths and weaknesses in curriculum utilized within BOS and provided a comprehensive report of each school’s achievement gaps in FY21-22. The assessed curriculum showed alignment to BIE’s Strategic Direction mission and vision, Common Core State Standards, and the BIE Content Standards. The review targeted specific support and professional development to build capacity at each school site. BOS is seeking continued and ongoing support for current and newly retroceded Bureau Operated Schools. The continued support will work from the final school and district curriculum alignment reviews and input from BOS administration and school leaders.

2.0 Objectives

Curriculum Alignment Continued and Ongoing support will provide Bureau Operated Schools with the following objectives/expectations:

• Schools will be organized into cohorts, based on the current status of their curriculum, instruction, and assessment systems.

• Each cohort will engage in online and in-person sessions tailored to their needs.

• Each session will be a combination of training and workshop time and each session will be followed by online office hours during which schools can receive more personalized attention.

• School Leadership Network Convenings: Convenings can be provided over the course of the school year. These convenings can be held in person or online, based on the current COVID-19 status. If held in person, BIE district-level leadership will make the necessary logistical arrangements.

• BIE BOS District-level Support will be provided virtually on a monthly basis. Contractor must be open to in-person meetings to launch the year and close out the year if desired by BIE leadership.

3.0 Scope

Ongoing support will be provided so that each BOS that recently underwent a curriculum review can make best use of the findings and recommendations that resulted from the review. Support may include, but not be limited to, reviewing each schools vertical and horizontal standards alignment, reviewing their content standard pacing guides, designing plans for the most appropriate professional development, and curriculum/assessment/standards implementation with the ultimate goal of high levels of learning and achievement for all students.

4.0 Tasks

4.1 School Level Support:

• A deep dive into the BIE College and Career Ready Standards in ELA and Mathematics, with differentiated support for new and veteran teachers.

• Assessment Literacy: An exploration of the BIE assessments (interim and summative) and an overview of how best to use assessments and assessment data to drive teaching and learning.

• Curriculum design and implementation:

• For schools that already have a clear curriculum in place, training will be provided around mapping of the curriculum to ensure consistent implementation across classrooms and to clearly articulate vertical learning progressions across the grades. In addition, each school will create a “coverage map” of all standards to determine where any gaps may exist. Finally, all assessments will be calendared and aligned to PLC meetings at which the data will be reviewed.

• For schools that do not yet have a clear curriculum in place, training will be provided around how to choose high quality instructional materials (HQIM), and how to ensure that all teachers understand the scope and sequence within the HQIM and the vertical progression of learning goals across the grades. Finally, all assessments will be calendared and aligned to PLC meetings at which the data will be reviewed.

• School Leadership Network Convenings: – BIE school leaders from across all schools will receive support around understanding all the components that make up an Intended, Lived and

Learned curriculum and how best to support teachers in the implementation of that curriculum.
