PRISM Curriculum and Instruction Coaches

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will approve vendors for a Departmental Master Agreement (MA) to act as PRISM Curriculum and Instruction Coaches. These coaches will provide leadership coaching and customized support to PRISM II and PRISM III LEAs. They will also design and facilitate curriculum-specific professional learning for participating LEAs. DESE will prequalify providers that sufficiently meet the criteria described in this MA to potentially provide services to districts and charter schools in Massachusetts. The selected vendor(s) are expected to have expertise in evidence-based and culturally and linguistically sustaining early and/or adolescent literacy practices and experience supporting LEAs in implementing high-quality core tier 1 instructional materials in ELA/literacy.
