Notice of Award and Agency Head Acceptance

Purpose: Part 1 Introduction

Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, hereafter referred to as the New England Assessment Consortium (NEAC), intend to implement the new Smarter Balanced Assessments through a multi-state procurement collaborative. The states seek proposals from qualified individuals, companies and organizations to execute the scope of work outlined in this RFP, covering an array of activities and services that will be needed to manage the project, and to administer, score and report the Smarter Balanced English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments in Grades 3 through 8 and 11. In addition, the states are seeking separate bids for the development and hosting of a secure online analysis and reporting system. The assessments will be administered in accordance with Smarter Balanced policies, procedures and technical specifications, and consistent with the policies and guidelines that govern procurement and project implementation in each of the three states, the state guidelines and regulations taking precedence if conflicts occur.

The NEAC states are all governing states in the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) and have made extensive contribution to the design and development of the assessments. Smarter Balanced is currently in the final year of developing a comprehensive and integrated assessment system that includes summative, interim and formative components. The summative assessment will feature online delivery of test items, using computer adaptive technologies, and performance tasks. An array of digital tools and features that will enhance the testing experience for all students, particularly students with disabilities, English language learners, and other students with special assessment needs, will also be provided (note: the digital tools will be provided by Smarter Balanced and are not included in the scope of work for this RFP). Both the summative and interim assessments will require web hosting, as well as provisions for technical assistance to schools and other users (the proposed digital library of formative assessment professional development modules will be hosted on the web by Smarter Balanced).

Part 2 Purpose of Solicitation

The NEAC states seek a Contractor experienced in web-based student assessment test delivery, scoring methodology, and related services to provide a web-based computer-adaptive testing system that must be compliant and certified (pending certification process) for specifications of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium’s common assessment for mathematics and English language arts. The resulting system shall be hosted on the Contractor’s site or a site managed by the Contractor or its subcontractor. The System will become available for operational testing by January 2015.

Although the NEAC tests will be administered jointly by Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, the Contractor will enter into separate contract agreements with each of the three states. Each of the states will award individual contracts that reflect the maximum number of years that the state can provide, with the intent that the Contractor will provide services for three years, beginning on or about July 15, 2014, and terminating on July 15, 2017.

Professional Services for Low-Performing Schools to Support and Empower Teachers and Leaders
DAS link: http://www.biznet.ct.gov/SCP_Search/Default.aspx?AccLast=2
Questions & Answers

Purpose: A growing body of research demonstrates the primacy and impact of teacher and leader effectiveness on student achievement. Typically, urban public school districts have difficulty attracting and retaining top talent in their lowest-performing schools. Leaders and teachers in these schools often lack the ongoing support, development, feedback, and coaching necessary to grow as professionals and become highly effective. The Turnaround Office and the Connecticut State Department of Education (“CSDE”) unfortunately do not have the capability or capacity to meaningfully support and systematically increase leader and teacher effectiveness in these schools and at scale. Therefore, the Turnaround Office seeks a provider willing and able to offer professional services to support and empower teachers and leaders in low-performing schools in the areas described in Section II of this Request for Proposals (“RFP”).

The purpose of this RFP is to identify a proven provider(s) able to offer the professional services, or some combination thereof, listed below that will support and empower teachers and leaders serving in low-performing schools. It is expected that these services will lead to significant gains in student achievement.

Professional Services to Support Redesign Efforts in Comprehensive, Low-Performing High Schools
DAS link: http://www.biznet.ct.gov/SCP_Search/Default.aspx?AccLast=2
Questions & Answers 

Purpose: There are dozens of low-performing high schools in Connecticut, many of which are concentrated in the state's 30 Alliance Districts. With a few exceptions, past efforts to address underperformance in these comprehensive high schools have failed to generate necessary and/or lasting results. Given the urgent need to improve student achievement, the Connecticut State Department of Education (“CSDE”) is eager to support district and school teams in their high school redesign efforts. A growing body of research supports converting large, comprehensive high schools into small learning communities (SLCs) or autonomous academies within a larger school campus. To that end, the Turnaround Office seeks a provider(s) willing and able to offer the services described in Section II of this Request for Proposals (“RFP”).

The purpose of this RFP is to identify a proven provider(s) able to offer the professional services listed below, or some combination thereof, to support district and school teams in transforming comprehensive, low-performing high schools into high-achieving SLCs or autonomous academies. It is expected that these services will lead to significant gains in student achievement.
