The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC), received Proposals from providers of web-based curriculum to provide unlimited access to content aligned to Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for grades 6-12 core courses in English/Language Arts (ELA), Reading, Math, Social Studies, and Science. Additionally, respondents must provide courses for preparation for standardized tests (EOCs, ACT, SAT, PERT); and for practice and remediation of Advanced Placement (AP) content and skills for some AP courses in ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies. The web-based curriculum will be available at 114 sites (middle schools, high schools, centers, community schools, and alternative schools) to 6th ? 12th grade students and their teachers. Teachers, certified in the subject area for which the student is accessing curriculum, must be the teacher of record, engage in frequent and substantial instruction/feedback with the assigned students, and monitor the students to ensure fidelity of implementation and substantive student learning. Curriculum may be used as a resource for: course recovery, first impulse course curriculum, course acceleration, diagnostic assessment of skill deficiencies, or supplemental instruction, as applicable and authorized. Upon approval, professional learning dates will be scheduled with the provider and a procedural guide developed and delivered prior to school-year 2013-14 implementation.
