PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Support for DoDEA’s Leadership Development Pipeline Program (LDPP)

1. General Information and Scope of Work

1.1 Agency

1.1.1 For the school year (SY) 2023-24, the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) will provide PK-12 instruction to approximately 66,000 dependents of military and civilian employees. Student enrollment is based primarily on deployment of military troops worldwide. In the Americas, DoDEA operates 50 schools located in seven states, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. In Europe and the Middle East, DoDEA operates 64 schools located in Germany, England, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Turkey, Bahrain, and Italy. In the Pacific, DoDEA operates 45 schools located in Korea, Japan (mainland and Okinawa), and Guam. DoDEA's curriculum, resources and student achievement scores on standardized assessments compare favorably to those of high-performing US public school systems.

DoDEA also operates a fully accredited virtual high school with teaching hubs in each DoDEA region: Americas, Europe, and Pacific.

1.1.2 DoDEA schools have various grade configurations, with the most common being PK-5, 6-8, and 9-12.

Of our 159 brick-and-mortar schools, 100 are elementary schools with at least three of the K-5 grades; 58 are middle schools with at least one grade 6-8; and 40 are high schools with grades 9-12.

Grade Students Grade Students Grade Students Grade Students

PK 3,400 3 6,000 7 4,550 11 2,950

K 6,025 4 5,700 8 4,350 12 2,550

1 6,425 5 5,550 9 3,625 PK-12

Total 65,975 2 6,100 6 5,275 10 3,475

1.1.3 Military-connected students experience high mobility rates across the nation and throughout the world. Consequently, DoDEA makes a concerted effort to establish a worldwide systemic education network, mitigating the transitional barriers to military-connected students’ success.

1.1.4 DoDEA has adopted College and Career Ready Standards (CCRS) in mathematics, literacy, the arts, social studies, and science, which are rigorous, research-based, and reflect the knowledge, skills and dispositions students need for success in college and/or careers and are aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), National Core Art Standards (NCAS), Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards, and Society for Health and Physical Education Standards (SHAPE AMERICA). DoDEA has also adopted both the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students and the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework.

1.2 Background

1.2.1 The Blueprint for Continuous Improvement is a 5-year plan guiding DoDEA’s way forward. Its four focus areas are (1) equitable learning experiences for all students; (2) successful transition to college, career, and life; (3) equitable employee engagement; and (4) equity for students, employees, and families. Source: https://www.dodea.edu/bluepri. The LDPP will address the following goals:

Goal 1.2: Student Excellence: Successful transition to college, career, and life through social, emotional learning and partnerships.

Goal 3.1: Talent Excellence: Ensuring workforce and human capital capacity and developing human capacity plan and cycle.

Goal 3.3: Talent Excellence: Improving DoDEA's system of professional learning.

Goal 4.4: Organizational Excellence: Equity for students, employees, and families.

1.2.3 In the past decade DoDEA’s leadership development program has been handled in-house and has not addressed the professional learning needs of all educators. DoDEA has never awarded a systemic contract to support leadership development or an LDPP.

1.2.4 The proposed LDPP will increase the personal and professional capacities (knowledge, skills, and dispositions) for the next generation of visionary, equitable leaders and/or managers within and throughout DoDEA. This includes all aspiring and veteran leaders, from school to headquarter levels, and include teacher leaders, assistant principals, principals, community superintendents, district superintendents, instructional system specialists, professional development specialists, professional practice, and improvement specialists, among other leaders at every level of the agency.

Therefore, the theory of action is: By building DoDEA’s leadership capacity for equity and excellence, students will experience an equitable and excellent learning culture.

1.2.5 The proposed LDPP will (1) establish foundations and structures for an equitable culture of learning and improvement for school-level and above-school-level educators, (2) build the capacity of the school community to support an equitable culture of learning and improvement, and (3) sustain a results-orientated culture for learning and improvement.

1.2.6 Regarding the proposed School Administrator Program for new-to-role principals and assistant principals and the proposed Aspiring Leader Academy for teachers who want to become school administrators and/or instructional systems specialists there is a three-pronged approach. The Center for Instructional Leadership (CIL) in each DoDEA region supports the instructional leadership prong. The CILs in partnership with the regional and district level Forward Integrated Support Teams (FIST) support the management & operations prong. DoDEA does not currently provide support for the third prong: organizational leadership.

1.2.7 The proposed LDPP will be grounded in the following:

Professional Standards for Educational Leadership Learning Forward: Standards for Professional Learning DoDEA 21st Century Teaching, Learning, and Leading f http://www.npbea.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Professional-Standards-for-Educational-Leaders_2015.pdf https://standards.learningforward.org/standards-for-professional-learning/ https://content.dodea.edu/teach_learn/professional_development/21/index.html

The Wallace Foundation Principal Pipeline Initiative Research

1.3 Scope of Work

1.3.1 DoDEA requires support to do the following:

1) Create a research-based best practices framework for an LDPP that equitably addresses the needs of DoDEA school-level and above-school-level educators, per PWS 1.2.4.

2) Design a 3-year School Administrator Program for new-to-role principals and assistant principals.

3) Design a 1-year Aspiring Leader Academy to prepare DoDEA teachers and above-school-level educators for instructional systems specialists, assistant principal, and principal roles.

4) Design webinars and/or digital modules to support the School Administrator Leadership

Program and the Aspiring Leader Academy on a quarterly basis.

5) Prepare DoDEA educational leaders to facilitate the School Administrator Leadership

Program and the Aspiring Leader Academy.

6) Partner to plan, implement, evaluate, monitor, and sustain the two programs.

1.3.2 DoDEA expects to award one contract for five years, which will have the following activities:

1.3.3 The number of new-to-role principals and assistant principals participating in this program will vary from year to year. Since none of them have received the type of organizational development professional learning proposed in this performance work statement, the initial cadre may be larger than those in subsequent years as shown in the table below. The number of educators interested in participating in the Aspiring Leader Academy will be determined post-award.
