C / N for High - Quality Digital Instructional Resources for Students in K - 12 Math and ELA Literacy

2026-11-03

SPECIFICATIONS Jefferson County Public Schools is a large , urban district in Louisville , Kentucky . With nearly 97 , 000 students , the variety of instructional needs is significant . Approximately 20 % of JCPS students are multilingual learners . In keeping with the 2022 Kentucky Senate Bill 1 , JCPS adopted core curriculum resources for math and literacy : EL Education ( K8 ELA ), Savvas myPerspectives ( 9 - 12 English ), and IM360 ( K - 8 and AGA math ). As the district continues to refine implementation and align resources for multi - tiered student support , JCPS seeks vendors with high - quality , digital instructional resources to meet student needs . The goal of this project is to identify a primary digital resource ( s ) for three tiers of instruction in both math and literacy for each grade level . Resources will be aligned as to this matrix : Math / Literacy ** Grades K - 2 Grades 3 - 5 Grades 6 - 8 Grades 9 - 12 Tier 1 - Universal Tier 2 - Targeted Tier 3 - Intensive ** In some instances , the same resource may meet the needs of students in BOTH math and literacy ; it is also acceptable for a resource to be aligned to one content area and not the other . Bids may be awarded to multiple vendors based on alignment to grade bands , content , and / or tier focus . Digital instructional resources will be selected based on evaluation criteria outlined elsewhere in this RFP . Ideal partners for this work will have evidence - based recommendations to contribute to building an implementation plan in keeping with the district ’ s academic multi - tiered systems of support . The partner vendors will demonstrate coherent and aligned practices and resources to provide effective , standards - based instruction to close achievement gaps for students , empowering all students to demonstrate a year ’ s worth of growth or more in their educational journey . Tier 1 Resources should ● Be aligned to Kentucky State Academic Standards ● Provide multilingual learners with scaffolds and supports appropriate for their grade level and English language proficiency level . ● Be aligned to adopted HQIRs ( EL Education , myPerspectives , and / or IM360 ) and consistent with curriculum philosophy ● Empower teachers to work collaboratively to intellectually prepare for teaching units and lessons ● Enable teachers to formatively assess student work and provide actionable feedback ● Allow students to make their thinking visible in a variety of modalities Tier 2 Resources should ● Be aligned to Kentucky State Academic Standards ● Provide multilingual learners with scaffolds and supports appropriate for their grade level and English language proficiency level . ● Embed evidence - based techniques , strategies , or methods ● Include prescriptive guidance for student engagement with the resource that will lead to ideal outcomes in terms of frequency , intensity , and delivery ● Provide customized paths of instruction based on multiple data points for student learning ● Be aligned to Tier 1 Scope & Sequence to provide “ just - in - time ” support for students with scaffolded skills or concepts ● Incorporate foundational skills that support learning objectives of Tier 1 , core curriculum and instruction aligned to adopted HQIRs ● Have measurable student goals and outcomes with reporting to allow district administrators to observe progressto - goal for students ● Include monthly progress monitoring tools that ( 1 ) have a sufficient number of alternate forms of equal and controlled difficulty to allow for progress monitoring at recommended intervals based on intervention level ; ( 2 ) specify minimum acceptable growth ; ( 3 ) provide benchmarks for minimum acceptable end - of - year performance ; and ( 4 ) reliability and validity information for the performance - level score is available . ● Include a data dashboard for monitoring student progress at the student , classroom , school , and district levels aligned to district goals . Tier 3 Resources should ● Be aligned to Kentucky State Academic Standards ● Provide multilingual learners with scaffolds and supports appropriate for their grade level and English language proficiency level . ● Embed evidence - based techniques , strategies , or methods ● Include prescriptive guidance for student engagement with the resource that will lead to ideal outcomes in terms of frequency , intensity , and delivery ● Incorporate foundational skills that support learning objectives of Tier 1 , core curriculum and instruction aligned to adopted HQIRs ● Have measurable student goals and outcomes with reporting to allow district administrators to observe progressto - goal for students ● Include weekly progress monitoring tools that ( 1 ) have a sufficient number of alternate forms of equal and controlled difficulty to allow for progress monitoring at recommended intervals based on intervention level ; ( 2 ) specify minimum acceptable growth ; ( 3 ) provide benchmarks for minimum acceptable end - of - year performance ; and ( 4 ) reliability and validity information for the performance - level score is available . ● Include a data dashboard for monitoring student progress at the student , classroom , school , and district levels aligned to district goals .
