Description

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit proposals from qualified offerors that have demonstrated competence and possess the ability and experience to provide textbooks for our one-year Spanish Literacy course which is a precursor to our courses in Spanish for Spanish Speakers and which include related online-platform-based and ancillary materials, resources, and provide professional development sessions for use in our MCPS secondary schools. This RFP seeks qualified offerors who have prior successful experience producing and implementing similar communicative and proficiency-based programs supported by the knowledge and understanding of language acquisition, literacy skills for secondary-school learners, relevant and inclusive content in Spanish which is reflective of the nature of Latin American Spanish language and cultures, the MD World Language Standards; the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL) Guiding Principles; the world-readiness standards for learning languages and performance expectations; and 21st century skills. Initial professional development and curriculum revision and alignment work would be beginning in the summer of 2024 and continue throughout the school year of 2024-25. Textbook purchases, professional development, additional curriculum revision and alignment would continue in school year 2025-26.
