The ESC has posted a Request for Proposals (RFP) to support Ohio's ESCs in adopting a successful sustainable model and continue to build their knowledge of the support needed to implement high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) to meet the needs of the schools and districts in Ohio.
The
Ohio Educational Service Center Association (OESCA) is the statewide trade association representing the statewide network of 51 Educational Service Centers (ESCs). OESCA has engaged in a collaborative co-design process with the
Ohio Department of Education
and Workforce to implement statewide initiatives leveraging the regional educational service system. Implementation of this work is coordinated through a statewide advisory group known as the ESC Network Program Cabinet. The Ohio Materials Matter Initiative is a key focus area for Ohio’s ESCs. The ESC of Central Ohio (ESCCO) is the fiscal agent for that initiative.
In anticipation of the grant funds expiring in September 2024, the ESCCO seeks an offeror to provide each ESC with a self-assessment and
personalized plan for sustainability of their current HQIM and related Math services, including:
- Helping ESCs identify the specific roles they will play with HQIM selection, adoption, and implementation and HQIM professional
learning; - Helping ESCs identify strategies for offering support around the math standards and practices;
- Supporting each ESC in crafting a unique business development plan that includes financial models and marketing strategies
specific to their ESC; - Creating collaborative ideas for next steps or expansion of services; and
- Assisting ESCs in Integrating HQIM offerings with other existing services and assistance in streamlining offerings for their districts.
