Alternative Licensing Partnerships

Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools seeks a partner to create and deliver Alternative Licensing Partnerships that provide accelerated pathways for non‑traditional and career‑switcher candidates to obtain initial Tennessee teaching licensure. The program must include curriculum aligned with MNPS standards, job‑embedded coaching, recruitment targeting internal staff and diverse external candidates, and rigorous data reporting on placement, retention, and licensure outcomes. Successful vendors will manage recruitment, training delivery, mentorship, and compliance with Tennessee Department of Education requirements while meeting diversity and three‑year retention goals. • Develop and deliver coursework and training aligned to MNPS instructional expectations. • Provide job‑embedded coaching, mentoring, and performance monitoring with regular progress reports. • Recruit candidates (minimum 60 % meeting MNPS diversity goals) and ensure ≥ 85 % three‑year retention of licensed teachers. • Align all activities with TDOE regulations and produce data‑driven outcome reports. • Meet insurance, debarment, and compliance certifications as required.
