Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Certificate Validation

PC-Q-17-047

Statement of Work (SOW)

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Certificate Endorsement/Accreditation

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. BACKGROUND: Education is one of Peace Corps’ largest sectors with over 3,000 Volunteers.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) is the largest project area within the Education sector, with TEFL projects in as many as 30 countries, training roughly 2400 Volunteers annually. The majority of the training is conducted in each host country. Peace Corps often works in rural schools or with marginalized populations that are often not reached by other agencies. The TEFL Certificate program seeks to provide an externally recognized credential adding value to the work of TEFL Volunteers around the globe. Today, the program is being implemented in 12 posts and may eventually expand to 25 posts.

The goals of the TEFL Certificate Program are to:

• Build teaching capacity of host country English teachers

• Increase students’ achievement in English

• Enhance community engagement in school improvement and student learning

These goals are achieved through the TEFL Certificate Program by providing:

• TEFL Volunteers who meet global professional teaching standards

• TEFL Volunteers who feel engaged and confident in their teaching and satisfied with the technical training they have received

• Post TEFL staff that has the qualifications and ongoing professional development to maintain high quality TEFL programming and training

The TEFL Certificate program, which Peace Corps first introduced in 2014, gives Volunteers 120 hours of English language teacher training and two years of supervised teaching experience in a 30-month training continuum. The Peace Corps TEFL Certificate Program has developed a curriculum of English Language Teaching (ELT) training sessions, standards aligned to this curriculum, rubrics for assessing Volunteer learning, and a teaching observation tool Teaching Proficiency Index (TPI) that evaluates Volunteer teaching competency through observed classroom behaviors at three points during Volunteer service. The Peace Corps TEFL curriculum consists of approximately 75 training sessions and addresses the following teaching competencies1:

• General and English Teaching Knowledge and Skills (emphasizing student-centered teaching)

• Community Relations

• Classroom Management

• Curriculum, Lesson Planning, and Materials Design

• Assessment

• Teaching Practice and Observation

The Peace Corps TEFL Certificate, with its robust training and two years of supervised teaching experience, helps ensures that Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) who have earned the credential will have professional credibility. That credibility is further ensured by an external validating institution that can attest to the Certificate’s continuing rigor.

1 These competencies are also referred to as standards.

2. SCOPE OF WORK: Peace Corps seeks to award a firm-fixed price (FFP) five (5) year contract to provide insights and recommendations of a seasoned academic or professional partner (“contractor”) to attest to the degree to which the Peace Corps TEFL program meets the validation criteria of an effective TEFL teacher training program, to advise Peace Corps on how to maintain professional rigor, and to propose any changes necessary high standards. Such external validation allows Peace Corps to award the TEFL Certificate to Volunteers who have earned it at the completion of service, and while the Certificate is issued by Peace Corps, the contractor’s validation appears on the Certificate that is awarded. The Peace Corps TEFL Certificate programming, training, and evaluation processes will be reviewed at intervals agreed upon by the contractor and Peace Corps to ensure that it continues to meet established standards.

An additional goal of this project is to build awareness among potential employers (such as university intensive English programs, private languages schools, a variety of English language teaching institutions in EFL contexts), and possibly provide partial satisfaction of U.S. K-12 licensure or teacher education program requirements (i.e., course credit or exemption from student teaching requirements) for graduate school or K-12 licensure TESOL programs.

The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described under this Statement of Work (SOW). The contractor shall begin by evaluating the current training content (including the training standards) and teacher supervision framework; the continuum of training framework; and the learning assessments of the Pre-Service Training (PST) through a document review.

Based on this evaluation, the contractor shall make recommendations for changes when necessary with the goal of strengthening the TEFL training program. The contractor will also disseminate information about the certificate to academic institutions and language schools. This contract is projected to be an ongoing project beginning with the initial evaluation and continuing as additional Peace Corps posts adopt the TEFL curriculum. As explained above, in the first year of the contract the contractor will review, revise, and validate an agreed upon number of training sessions, the training continuum, the content and structure of the learning assessments, and any other elements of the training continuum determined to be relevant. In year five of the contract, the contractor will once again review the training sessions, training continuum, and learning assessments. This full process will be carried to ensure that the program is still up to date and in alignment with academic/professional standards and practices. Over the five years, the contractor will review trainer credentials for new trainers at posts entering the TEFL Certificate training continuum for the first time, review and validate trainee performance on learning assessments, promote the TEFL Certificate, advise Peace Corps on relevant developments in the field, and beginning Summer of 2017 review Peace Corps Headquarters and Peace Corps country posts’ methods for producing, recording, and tracking Peace Corps TEFL Certificates awarded to RPCVs and how the Certificate has benefited them in terms of employment and/or academic advancement.

c. Volunteer Assessment/Evaluation. After reviewing Volunteer data on the program’s Learning Assessments and evaluations of teaching competency, the contractor shall submit a report of their findings. Annual evaluations of TEFL Volunteer learning will ensure that (a) post staff members are providing the content of the standard training sessions and (b) sufficient numbers of Volunteers are successfully meeting established standards on training assignments. In addition, the TEFL Certificate Evaluation Specialist will provide the contractor with Process Evaluation reports for all participating posts annually, which will provide additional information on posts’ maintenance of training and assessment standards and Volunteer evaluations of training process and content.
