AP Literature and AP Language Curriculum Adoption

The Des Moines Independent Community School District is seeking proposals for the adoption of AP Literature and Language curriculum. The district is looking for non-traditional materials and professional learning opportunities to support the teaching of AP English Literature & Composition and AP English Language & Composition. The proposed materials should include shorter anthologies, trade books, digital resources, writing companions, and field essays that offer diverse perspectives and adaptable content for teacher-designed lessons. The district also requires professional learning opportunities to support implementation and instructional design for both AP courses. • The proposed materials should be inclusive and supportive of all students, particularly multilingual learners and students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). • The district expects the selected organization(s) to be knowledgeable and experienced in providing quality services in the relevant areas. • The contract period shall be for one year and may be renewable for four additional one-year periods at the discretion of the district.
