Notice Details

The NYCDOE is interested in using Performance Based Task Assessments (PBTAs) and Computer Adaptive Tests (CATs). These two types of assessments will provide data to analyze student growth, as well as a teacher’s contribution to student learning. It is anticipated that the program will begin with approximately 100 participating schools in the 2011-2012 school year, scale to approximately 500 schools in school year 2012-2013, and peak at approximately 1,600 participating schools in 2013-2014. Proposals may address a plan to deliver local assessments and related professional development services covering one or more of four (4) subjects/courses in: (a) English/Language Arts (ELA), (b) Mathematics, (c) Science and (d) Social Studies. Each subject/course must be in either or both the 3-8, or the 9-12 grade-span. Each subject/course and grade-span combination shall be considered an “RFP Class”. Proposers are encouraged to address as many RFP Classes in accordance with their expertise and resources. It is expected that up to 16 requirements contracts will result from this RFP.
