This solicitation seeks a vendor to provide an adaptive, WIDA-aligned digital resource platform tailored for elementary, middle, and high school Emergent Multilingual Learners (EMLs). The platform must offer individualized learning pathways, automatically differentiating content complexity based on each student’s specific WIDA proficiency level—Entering, Emerging, Developing, Expanding, and Bridging—across the four language domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. Key features include drag-and-drop functionality, hot-spot selection, and built-in record-and-playback tools for the Speaking domain to help students gain confidence with the testing environment.
The solution should integrate English language development with core academic content (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies), supporting language acquisition within the context of grade-level standards. Comprehensive teacher-facing components are required, such as lesson plans, blended learning guides, and offline instructional activities that connect digital independent study with small-group classroom instruction. The platform must also provide real-time reporting dashboards for educators and administrators to monitor student usage and progress across WIDA domains and proficiency levels.
All resources and instructional modules must align rigorously with the WIDA 2020 Framework, utilizing adaptive technology to scaffold instruction for students at varying language proficiency levels. The objective is to accelerate academic language acquisition and close opportunity gaps for EMLs, ensuring equitable access to high-quality instructional enrichment outside of traditional direct instruction. Actionable data and reporting capabilities should support tracking student progress toward both English proficiency and mastery of content areas.
