Description
The Newark Board of Education seeks a comprehensive, research‑based cursive‑writing curriculum for grades 2‑5, coupled with professional‑development services for roughly 175 teachers per grade and about 3,000 students. The vendor must supply instructional materials (workbooks, teacher guides, assessments, digital platform demo), deliver multisensory instruction aligned to New Jersey Student Learning Standards, provide tiered support for ESL and special‑education learners, and manage district‑wide packaging and shipping. Additionally, the contractor will conduct in‑person or virtual PD led by a literacy/handwriting specialist, beginning after the May 4, 2026 start date, and must submit sample materials with the proposal.
• Provide a full curriculum kit (student workbooks, teacher guides, assessment tools) for grades 2‑5.
• Deliver a structured PD program (schedule, trainer bios, evaluation plan) for all teachers district‑wide.
• Align all content to NJSLA, incorporate Tier‑2 interventions, and offer family‑reinforcement resources.
• Handle logistics: packaging, labeling, and shipping of materials to every NBOE school.
• Submit itemized cost proposals for years 1‑2 (fixed price) and optional years 3‑4, with no travel‑expense reimbursements beyond quoted rates.
