RFP for Sheltered Social Studies Supplemental Texts

Warren Consolidated Schools is seeking proposals to supply supplemental American History texts for sheltered social studies middle and high school courses serving multilingual learners. The selected materials will supplement the district’s core social studies curriculum and provide students with accessible, standards-aligned

American History content that supports both social studies content knowledge and English language development, beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.

The selected resources should include:

8th & 9th grade American History content written at accessible reading levels for English learners, including newcomers and students at beginning and intermediate levels of English proficiency

Alignment with 8th & 9th Grade Michigan Social Studies Standards

Materials that build students’ academic vocabulary, background knowledge, and content-specific literacy

Visual supports, maps, timelines, photographs, charts, and other sca�olds that support comprehension

Opportunities for students to develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills within social studies content

Primary and secondary source materials adapted or sca�olded for multilingual learners

Di�erentiated texts and supports that allow students at varying English proficiency levels to access the same essential social studies concepts

Comprehension checks, discussion questions, writing prompts, and other formative assessment opportunities

Teacher resources that include instructional guidance, sca�olding strategies, vocabulary support, and suggested accommodations for multilingual learners

The materials are intended to serve as supplemental resources rather than the district’s primary/core social studies resource.

Proposals should be valid until January 31, 2027.

Quantities Needed: 35 x 7 classrooms = 245

Vendors should provide pricing for:

Teacher editions and/or teacher instructional resources

Student supplemental texts

Digital teacher and student access, where available

Any additional materials necessary to fully implement the supplemental resources

Bids should clearly identify available titles by grade level, reading level, and/or English language proficiency level and include pricing for all recommended components.
