Description
The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) is seeking vendors to provide mathematics screening and intervention programs for grades 4-8. The programs must be research-based and use high-quality supplemental materials that incorporate evidence-based instructional strategies. The NDDPI has established a pilot program to implement these programs, and vendors are invited to submit applications to be considered for approval. The applications will be reviewed twice yearly, and approved programs will be published on the NDDPI website. Vendors will be required to report data on the use and effectiveness of their programs in improving educational outcomes and student competency in mathematics.
Key features of the required programs include:
• Implementing formative assessments at regular intervals and adjusting teaching practices accordingly
• Providing targeted interventions for each student who needs additional support
• Using a research-based intervention program that incorporates evidence-based instructional strategies
• Implementing individualized mathematics learning tools that use a skill-level screener/assessments to identify student needs and measure progress
