Tender Details
Through this Request for Tender the Department is seeking a service provider to:
- Assist with the development, testing, evaluation and codification of a process/es that will embed the effective implementation of the general capabilities (excluding literacy and numeracy) into pedagogy and assessment practices within subject disciplines. It is anticipated this will include both development and testing of specific models and resources within schools with a view to understanding how they could be scaled at a system level such that both content, and resourcing/development/delivery process are addressed.
- Conduct a meta-evaluation of the initiative which would include the development of insights into enabling conditions and barriers, at a system level, that impact upon ongoing improvement. The expected outcome of this meta-evaluation will be NSW-centric learnings on how best to positively impact student learning outcomes, close equity gaps, build teacher capacity, effectively resource schools and scale rigorous support in a sustainable manner using the general capabilities as impetus.
- Whilst the work will focus on the General Capability of Critical and Creative Thinking in stages 4 and 5, Science and History, the successful tenderer will be required to advise on how developed process/es could be scaled across Key Learning Areas and the other General Capabilities - Information and Communication Technology, Personal and Social, Ethical Understanding, Intercultural Understanding (excluding Literacy and Numeracy) whilst being responsive to current educational reform including the NSW Curriculum Review
The ideal team is expected to be multidisciplinary, however it would include academic experts in the field of education, with a proven understanding of current research on the implementation of skills/capabilities within curriculum. The team would also include talent with demonstrated expertise in research and responsive evaluation at both the model/resources and systems level.
It is anticipated this work will commence in October this year and be fully completed towards the end of 2022.
This Request for Tender process will identify the single best value-for-money provider to undertake this work.
