WestEd seeks vendors to provide curriculum-based professional learning for district instructional leadership teams in Oregon, supporting early literacy HQIM implementation through three summits focused on general and curriculum-specific leadership.
WestEd is seeking bids from qualified vendors to provide curriculum-based professional learning (CBPL) for district instructional leadership teams across Oregon. This work is part of a deliverable under WestEd’s partnership with the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and focuses on supporting the implementation of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) in early literacy.ODE strives to be a transformative education system that centers human dignity, collaborative partnership, and courageous engagement with complexity, resulting in a system where everyone has access to opportunities and resources needed to thrive. Where every learner, family, and community is seen, heard, and valued. Work for ODE is grounded in their education equity stance, “Education equity ensures fair policies, practices, and resource allocation to support historically and currently marginalized students and families, including civil rights-protected groups. As Oregon’s student population grows more diverse, schools must address disparities such as the academic achievement gap, which disproportionately affects traditionally marginalized communities. True equity requires a commitment from educators at all levels to prepare every student for success beyond high school. Senate Bill 739 reinforces the state’s dedication to honoring student diversity by integrating multicultural history into curricula and refining instruction to reflect diverse contributions.”This RFB covers three professional learning summits, described in detail in Section 3. Summit 1 is intentionally agnostic to any single curriculum; proposals should demonstrate the vendor's capacity to support general HQIM implementation leadership. Summits 2 and 3 focus on curriculum-specific implementation support for the two ODE-identified curricula: Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) and Wit & Wisdom, for grades K-5.Bidders may propose on the first summit, the final two summits, or all three summits. WestEd reserves the right to award all three summits to a single vendor, split the award across multiple vendors, or award none of the proposals if no bid meets the stated needs.

The summits target district instructional leadership teams, including central office curriculum leaders, building administrators, instructional coaches, and teacher leaders, with participation from Education Service District (ESD), Regional Early Literacy Network (REN), and ODE staff.The State Board of Education has approved a set of core early literacy HQIM for use in Oregon districts. ODE has designated Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) and Great Minds Wit & Wisdom as the identified curricula for this project, for grades K-5. Summit 1 vendor qualifications are evaluated on breadth and depth of general HQIM implementation expertise. Summit 2 and 3 vendor qualifications are evaluated on depth of expertise in both Amplify CKLA and Wit & Wisdom, since a single vendor is sought to cover both curricula.
