EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the design and implementation support that 2Revolutions will provide Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in our 1:1 Vanguard Schools' launch.  2Revolutions is a Learning Model Design consultant specializing in the design, implementation, and launch of K-12 digital learning and 1:1 Initiatives.  A process is currently in progress to select Vanguard sites for implementation during the 2015/2016 academic year.  2Revolutions will work with district staff to take these selected Vanguard sites through a process from orientation to design and planning to operationalize their plans to prepare for launch to implementation.  2Revolutions has a proven methodology, developed through engagements with several other large school districts, and will serve as a design and implementation partner as we formally initiate our transition to robust 21st Century Learning Environments in our schools.  HCPS staff will be participating alongside 2Revolutions staff in order to replicate this process for the next phase of implementation.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Recruit, develop, and retain a highly effective, diverse workforce • Align the performance management system with the districts priorities

Funds in the amount of $154,335 are available from the Empowering Effective Teachers Grant.  2Revolutions provide services on a time and materials basis.
