PD in Language Arts

This contract provides comprehensive professional‑development (PD) services in Language Arts for the Lakewood School District during the 2020‑2021 academic year. After issuing a competitive solicitation to eleven firms, the district evaluated two responses and awarded the contract to Staff Development Workshops, which offered the lowest unit prices and fully complied with all required deliverables (PowerPoint coaching decks, long‑term video access, and curriculum‑support samples). The award reflects the district’s emphasis on cost‑effectiveness, complete technical compliance, and the use of Title I funding for instructional improvement. • Scope: In‑person full‑day, half‑day, live virtual sessions (2‑5 hrs), and video‑based training (1‑2 hr). • Pricing: Unit‑price structure ranging from $1,000 to $1,700 per session, all achieving full cost scores. • Evaluation: Staff Development Workshops earned 93.89 / 100 points, surpassing the 75‑point threshold; Catapult Learning was rejected for missing deliverables and higher costs.
