The contract pertains to The Big Lift initiative in San Mateo County, aimed at ensuring all children achieve reading proficiency by the end of third grade through a collaborative effort involving schools, county agencies, libraries, community organizations, and philanthropic partners. Central to this effort is Inspiring Summers, a free, full-day summer program targeting students entering kindergarten through third grade, with priority given to multilingual learners and historically underserved communities. The program has demonstrated success in mitigating summer learning loss and boosting student engagement, and now seeks to enhance its STEAM curriculum by integrating intentional literacy components, social-emotional learning, cultural relevance, and project-based learning practices. The contract’s purpose is to hire a consultant to revise an existing set of STEAM lessons to better align with these goals within an anticipated 8 to 11-week timeframe. Administratively, the contract is issued by the Human Services Agency of San Mateo County and follows formal county contracting procedures, including standard terms regarding scope of work, payment, intellectual property, compliance, termination rights, and indemnification. It carries a posting and response schedule with a deadline in April 2026 and is managed through a structured procurement process. The overall effort reflects The Big Lift’s ongoing commitment to continuous program improvement and educational equity by refining its curricular offerings to support foundational literacy skills alongside STEAM enrichment. Contact for the project includes the Executive Director of The Big Lift and the designated contract administrator, both based in Redwood City, California.

Full Description

Show more
The Big Lift is a countywide initiative in San Mateo County dedicated to ensuring that all children read proficiently by the end of third grade. Through cross-sector partnerships among school districts, the County of San Mateo, the San Mateo County Libraries, community-based organizations, and philanthropic partners, The Big Lift advances a comprehensive approach to early learning that includes preschool quality improvement, attendance support, family engagement, high-impact tutoring, and summer learning. Inspiring Summers is The Big Lift's signature summer learning strategy. Launched more than a decade ago in response to persistent literacy disparities and research on summer learning loss, the program provides a free, full-day, four-week summer experience for students entering kindergarten through third grade. Priority enrollment is given to students who would benefit most from additional literacy support, including multilingual learners and students from historically underserved communities. Over time, Inspiring Summers has demonstrated positive impact in reducing summer learning loss and strengthening students' confidence and engagement as learners. As the program enters its second decade, The Big Lift is refining and deepening its approach to ensure that all components of the program, particularly STEAM enrichment, more intentionally reinforce foundational literacy skills and align with youth development best practices. While the current STEAM curriculum provides engaging, hands-on learning experiences, it was not originally designed with explicit literacy integration or a formalized youth development framework embedded throughout each lesson. This RFP reflects The Big Lift's commitment to continuous improvement and equity. The selected consultant will revise a defined set of existing STEAM lessons to strengthen intentional literacy integration, social-emotional learning, cultural relevance, and project-based learning structures. The anticipated timeline for this work is 8–11 weeks.
