SUMMARY
This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks qualified consultants and/or researchers to execute a process evaluation of the 2018-19 school year of the Seattle Preschool Program.
The 2018-19 school year is the final year of the 4-year demonstration phase of the Seattle Preschool Program. As we move beyond the Demonstration Phase of SPP, DEEL recognizes that a one-size-fits-approach is insufficient to meet the needs of our diverse provider community. DEEL seeks to gain a better understanding of how City requirements, supports, and systems impact our provider community.
The purpose of the 2018 Seattle Preschool Program Process Evaluation is to provide a rich understanding of how agencies that partner with the City implement City standards, leverage City support, and navigate City systems in their organizational contexts. The end-product will be a series of case studies of SPP sites representing SPP's service delivery models (center-based, school-based, and family child care home-based). Findings from this evaluation will support SPP as it moves beyond its demonstration phase. Evaluation approach should utilize both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
