- Description
- The Department of Education intends to make a sole source award to the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), located in Washington, DC, for the establishment of a new Education Policy Working Group on Education Systems and Accountability (hereinafter referred to as the "Education Working Group"). The purpose of the Education Working Group is to foster ongoing discussion among federal and state officials, education policymakers and constituency representatives, and education researchers on key education policy issues that are likely to impact the national, state, and local levels both during and following the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The activities of the Education Working Group will help to bridge the perspectives and concerns of these different groups and inform the evolution of education policy in important areas such as education system alignment, the use of data, and accountability. The thoughts and recommendations of this group are of great interest to the Department, and in particular, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The NRC will be tasked with designing and carrying out the activities associated with the Education Working Group. The NRC has been determined to be the most responsive and has a unique capability to meet the Department?s needs. The NRC has knowledge and experience with conducting roundtables and focus groups on education accountability, and governance for officials at all levels of government. The NRC?s Board of Testing and Accountability demonstrates the experience in convening experts in education to examine issues related to assessment and accountability. The NRC also functions under National Academies, which is comprised of over 6,000 experts with expertise on collecting, analyzing, and sharing information and knowledge. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is 6.302-1.
