1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

Guilford County Schools (GCS) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide comprehensive,

job-embedded mathematics coaching services that support the district's implementation of High Quality

Instructional Materials (HQIM) across elementary, middle, and high grades. Coaching services will focus

on strengthening instructional practice, deepening understanding of the district's adopted mathematics

curricula, and improving student outcomes through aligned professional learning and ongoing

implementation support aligned to GCS’s vision for mathematics instruction.

GCS Shared Value for Mathematics Instruction

We believe every student deserves to flourish through transformative math experiences that

intentionally maximize learning and life outcomes for themselves and their community.

GCS Shared Vision for Mathematics Instruction

Every GCS student will think and act as mathematicians, embodying authentic engagement with

grade-level mathematics content and practices in the classroom and beyond.

Every GCS math educator will provide guidance and opportunities that empower students to grow

their individual and collective mathematical identities, thinking, and skills.

Every GCS leader will provide the necessary resources and supports for educators to effectively

support their students on their mathematical journeys.

GCS currently implements HQIM in mathematics across grades K–12, including Eureka Math Squared

and Illustrative Mathematics/Imagine Learning Classroom in elementary schools. A cohort of 12

elementary schools use Illustrative Mathematics while Eureka Math Squared is implemented in 56

elementary schools. Middle schools (24 schools) and high schools (30 schools) implement Open Up

Resources Math – NC Edition. Effective implementation of these materials requires sustained

professional learning, consistent coaching, and structured improvement cycles that help teachers plan

and facilitate rigorous mathematics instruction aligned to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.

The district seeks a coaching partner capable of delivering high-quality, scalable, and context-responsive

services that support teachers, school leaders, and district staff. Coaching should reinforce research-

based mathematics pedagogy; promote equitable access to grade-level content; and support the needs

of diverse learners, including multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and academically advanced

students.

GCS anticipates that the selected vendor will collaborate closely with district mathematics leadership,

school administrators, and instructional support staff to ensure coherence across professional learning,

coaching, and curriculum implementation. All services procured through this RFP must reflect and

advance the GCS shared vision for mathematics education. Vendors are expected to demonstrate how

their proposed services align to this vision and support the district's commitment to ensuring every

student develops deep mathematical understanding and confidence.
