Request for Proposals: Implementing New Curriculum

In alignment with CASS Policy 17 – Procurement of Contracted Services, the College of Alberta School Superintendents (CASS) invites proposals from qualified independent contractors to research, develop, and activate a deliverable aligned with its 2024/25 Conditional Grant.

The successful contractor will lead the project in collaboration with system education leaders and other stakeholders identified by CASS, working in close coordination with Dr. Gloria Antifaiff, Principal Leadership Consultant, who will provide strategic oversight and direction. The project outcomes are expected to be research-informed, current, relevant, and contribute to advancing K–12 system education leadership in Alberta.

Project Overview
This project will gather and share Alberta Stories of Practice from the perspectives of system education leaders to highlight effective strategies used in curriculum implementation. The goal is to showcase promising practices and identify next steps to support student success with the provincial curriculum. A key outcome of the project will be the creation of a professional learning resource, complemented by a webinar series, to guide system education leaders in curriculum implementation and in leading actions following implementation.
