Description
The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) seeks a single vendor to evaluate the impact of the Open ProfTech Phase 2 project, which created seven open textbooks for Washington’s community and technical colleges. The selected contractor will design and execute a mixed‑methods evaluation, collect quantitative enrollment and performance data, conduct faculty and student surveys and focus groups, analyze cost‑savings and learning outcomes, and deliver a comprehensive final report by the end of September 2027. The work must adhere to DOE requirements, include an IRB‑exempt design, and be completed within a $70,000 budget.
• Develop an evaluation plan, logic model, survey instruments, and focus‑group protocols.
• Collect and analyze quantitative data (enrollment, grades, financial‑aid status) and qualitative data (surveys, focus groups) using quasi‑experimental and mixed‑effects methods.
• Produce a final report detailing usage, student performance, cost‑savings, and recommendations, submitted by September 30 2027.
