The Ministry of Education is seeking proposals from experienced suppliers to provide our Learning Support Coordinators (LSC)s with Professional Learning and Development (PLD) e-learning courses.

This is a new agreement opportunity, and multiple suppliers are being sought using an open Request for Proposal (RFP) to enter in agreements who meet the Ministry’s LSC PLD requirements and evaluation process.

We are seeking suppliers who are able to design, develop and produce the new national LSC PLD Framework, covering Subject Matter Areas (SMAs) across three learning pathways - Foundational, Developing, and Confident, including a Pre-Assessment to determine their starting level.
