K-5 Core Instructional Resources for the teaching of Social Emotional Learning

Madison Metropolitan Schools in Wisconsin is seeking to procure high-quality instructional materials for grades K-5 that focus on social-emotional learning (SEL). The selected resources must align with the district’s SEL Competencies based on Learning for Justice Standards and embody the principles of transformative SEL. These materials should include engaging, content-rich lessons and activities that are free from bias, culturally relevant to the BIPOC student population, and accessible in both English and Spanish. The program aims to support teachers by providing a coherent sequence of grade-specific standards, with lessons designed to be purposeful, well-structured, and appropriately paced, supplemented with background information to enhance pedagogical effectiveness. The goal is to meet the diverse needs of learners, including English language learners, gifted and advanced students, and students with disabilities, ensuring an equitable and inclusive educational experience. The contract opportunity is part of a solicitation posted on May 27, 2025, with a response deadline of July 25, 2025. The project is valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000 and is managed under the NAICS code 541930, which pertains to educational support services. Interested vendors can contact Dana Scheel via email or phone for further details, and additional information is available through the Wisconsin vendor portal. This initiative underscores Madison Schools’ commitment to fostering social-emotional development through culturally responsive and accessible instructional resources.
