C.1 SCOPE:

The District of Columbia Public Schools, Office of Teaching and learning has a need to purchase a K-
5 English Language Arts as an engaging, knowledge -rich, and student-centered learning experience. Guided
by teachers’ deep understanding of grade-level standards and the science of reading, students are challenged to
read complex texts, build knowledge across content areas, and express their thinking through sustained speaking
and writing. Instruction prioritizes meaning making, ensuring that students not only develop foundational skills,
but also engage deeply with ideas, analyze texts, and communicate effectively.

C.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

C.3 DEFINITION – NOT APPLICABLE

C.4 BACKGROUND

DC Public Schools (DCPS) envisions the ideal curriculum that will create a rich and engaging student
experience by seamlessly integrating content, formative assessment, and professional development.

The curriculum should meet the following requirements:

• Align to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (CCSS-ELA), including
reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language standards across grades K–5.
• Provide instructional materials and resources that align to the Publishers’ Criteria for the Common
Core State Standards in ELA, including a focus on text complexity, evidence-based reading and
writing, and knowledge-building.
• Center high-quality, grade-level complex texts and provide coherent sequences of texts that build
knowledge and vocabulary across units and grade levels.
• Illustrate a clear balance of reading, writing, speaking, and listening, including frequent
opportunities for students to write in response to text, engage in academic discourse, and
demonstrate understanding through multiple modalities.
• Embed a knowledge-building instructional model that supports students in developing deep
understanding of content through reading, discussion, and writing across domains.
• Reflect a text-based, inquiry-driven approach that promotes critical thinking, student discourse, and
productive struggle with complex ideas and texts.
• Demonstrate flexibility to be “elegantly adapted” to incorporate current district initiatives (e.g.,
Cornerstones, interdisciplinary humanities connections) and align with existing foundational skills
programs (e.g., Foundations, Heggerty).

• Embed a range of formative and summative assessment opportunities, including text-based
questions, writing tasks, and performance-based assessments that align to district and state
assessments (e.g., CAPE-like expectations), and surface common student misconceptions.
• Provide explicit scaffolds and teacher guidance to support diverse learners, including multilingual
learners, students with disabilities, and students performing above grade level, while maintaining
access to grade-level rigor.
• Include clear teacher planning supports, such as lesson internalization guidance, pacing
recommendations, exemplar student responses, and instructional routines that support consistent
implementation.
• Incorporate multimedia and multimodal resources (e.g., audio, video, visual supports) to support
comprehension, engagement, and access for a range of learners.
• Be grounded in research and demonstrate evidence of effectiveness, including alignment to the
science of reading and data demonstrating improved student outcomes in literacy.
• Provide comprehensive teacher-facing materials that clearly articulate the structure of the program,
how components fit together (e.g., reading, writing, vocabulary, assessment), and offer guidance for
addressing common misconceptions and supporting student learning.
