Consultant Proposal Request

of Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6252-11c.
Eligible Applicants. The Texas Education Agency (TEA)
is requesting proposals from institutions of higher
education, private companies, or individuals for the
development of two reports on the status of current
national and state research on special education effective-
ness and the implications of research for special education
in Texas.
Description. The Texas Education Agency is requesting
proposals to assist in the studies of the effectiveness of
special education in developing life skills for students
leaving the public school system. The successful proposer
will work closely with the Division of Program Evaluation
in an evaluation required by law. The study has four parts:
a post-hoc analysis of the effectiveness of special
education based upon a study of the current status of
former students of special education; a longitudinal study
of students in their last year of school; a study of methods
of monitoring special education programs; and a study of
the applicability of essential elements for special education
programs.
This consultant proposal request is to assist in the conduct
of the study in addressing the following two components.
First, all existing literature concerning special education
effectiveness, both nationally and statewide, will be re-
viewed and evaluated. Detailed information on methods of
program evaluation will be provided to frame the
development of subsequent studies by TEA. The goal of
this component is to provide information which can be
used to frame the post-hoc and longitudinal study. Second,
a report on implications and recommendations from the
literature research study, as they may affect future special
education evaluations, monitoring, and essential elements
will be provided.
Dates of Project. The project will begin on July 1990 and
will end no later than October 1, 1990.
Project Amount. Funding for the proposer's role in this
study will not exceed $20,000.
Selection Criteria. Proposals will be evaluated on the
basis of demonstrated knowledge of the topic area, quality
and appropriateness of the proposal, potential applicability
of the findings to state and local policy-making efforts,
quality of the management and activity plans, and the
evaluation component.

a proposal for this study should request RFP #701-
90-018, either by telephone or in writing from the
