Common use of Technical Professional Development Clause in Contracts

Technical Professional Development. The Provider will provide an appropriate amount of technical professional development to participating school and district technology support personnel. While the number of technology staff vary from school to school, the Provider should assume that each participating school has at least one assigned staff member to provide technology support. The Department assumes that over the course of the Agreement, that the technology provided in the solution and those systems, protocols, and tools necessary to support the solution will change as new versions of software are released or as upgrades or refinements are introduced. As such, the Department expects the Provider to provide technical training throughout the term of the Agreement designed to enable school and district technology support personnel to provide end-user, just-in-time, support, to troubleshoot the solution as necessary to leverage the support the Provider’s solution, and to effectively manage the technical implementation challenges that are inherent in a large- scale implementation. The Bidder will describe the support and maintenance aspects of its solution in Section 11, Support and Maintenance. Professional development plans must include enough detail to be tangible and comprehensible to the evaluation team including proposed numbers of opportunities, proposed location(s), proposed format (in-person workshop, webinar, podcast, etc), recommended length, materials included, proposed topics, proposed instructor to participant ratios, qualifications of instructors, etc. The Bidder must separately and specifically address its first year program that will make available sufficient technical professional development prior to the start of school year 2013- 2014 to support the introduction of the Provider’s solution. Training times and opportunities should be convenient to the participating personnel, and school personnel should have multiple options to signup for opportunities. In general, while the Department cannot require attendance of technology support personnel at professional development opportunities, based on historical attendance, the Department expects that virtually all technology support personnel will attend opportunities provided during the normal school year. If opportunities are provided during the traditional school summer break, the Department expects that technology support personnel from smaller and more rural schools are less likely to be available due to more limited employment terms.
