Ohio Department of Education Request for Proposals
|
The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) is soliciting proposals for two programs: (1) for the design and subsequent implementation of a professional development program for teachers of science and (2) for the evaluation of the planning for and implementation of the professional development programs selected under the first RFP.
Seed Grant For Design of a Professional Development Program in Science for School Year Implementation
The Department of Education is currently soliciting proposals for the design of a professional development program in science for school year implementation. The intent of this RFP is to fund seed grants for the development of professional development program designs for teachers of science that incorporate scientifically based professional development, include implementation of scientific inquiry in the classrooms as a means of improving student performance, and are delivered during the school year utilizing at least some portion of the school day.
Submitted proposals must be from partnerships between high-need school districts and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) faculty in institutions of higher education. Other partners may include college/university departments of education, public charter schools or other public and non-public schools that enroll high percentages of at risk students, other LEA’s, and businesses and nonprofit or for-profit organizations concerned with science education.
Submission deadline is February 15, 2008. Selected planning projects will be carried out between March and June 30, 2008.
To Conduct an Evaluation of the Planning for and Implementation of Professional Development Programs in Science for Implementation During the School Year
The projects selected to receive the Seed Grant funds for planning in FY 08 and those subsequently selected for implementation in FY 09 will participate in an external evaluation. The Ohio Department of Education is currently soliciting proposals from qualified applicants to conduct a cross-project external evaluation in two Phases.
Phase I FY 08: Evaluation of the implementation and impact of the planning processes of partnerships awarded funds from the Seed Grant Ccompetition for Design of a Professional Development Program in Science for School Year Implementation; and the preparation for subsequent evaluation of selected program implementations.
Phase II FY 09: Evaluation of the implementation and impact of the Seed Grant projects funded for actual professional development implementation during the 2008-2009 school year.
