Special Education Alternative Curriculum

The Anne Arundel County Public Schools awarded a six‑year contract to Teach Town (Jigsaw Learning LLC) to provide a K‑12 special‑education alternative curriculum, including printed adapted textbooks, consumable worksheets, and a fully integrated digital learning platform. The solution must align with Maryland’s Alternate Academic Achievement Standards and the Dynamic Learning Maps assessment, support Universal Design for Learning, be accessible (WCAG AA), and integrate with ClassLink SSO and Canvas LMS via LTI. The district will receive inside delivery of printed materials, weekly order‑status reports during the first year, and gratis professional‑learning sessions in 2026, with optional ongoing PD thereafter. The contract is valued at $3.35 million, funded from operating funds, and may be extended annually. • Curriculum content covers core subjects for self‑contained SPED classrooms (grades K‑12). • Deliverables include two copies of each print student/teacher edition, digital platform licenses, consumable worksheets, and implementation training. • Technical requirements: ClassLink OneRoster, Canvas LTI 1.3, WCAG AA compliance, data‑privacy (FERPA, COPPA, Maryland Student Privacy Act), and U.S. data residency.
