Purpose

The Writing Editor will strengthen the clarity, organization, readability, flow, precision, consistency, and accessibility of these materials while preserving their technical meaning and the integrity of the underlying evidence, criteria, and intended interpretations.

This engagement requires more than proofreading or copyediting. The contractor must exercise editorial judgment about structure, language, audience, consistency, and meaning while recognizing when a proposed revision requires consultation with an EdReports content or subject-matter expert.

Scope and Level of Effort

This engagement is limited to approximately25 total hours of editorial services. At the start of the engagement, EdReports and the contractor will confirm the materials and editorial priorities to be addressed within the available hours.

The contractor will prioritize work that has the greatest impact on:
* clarity, readability, and organization;
* precision and consistency of language;
* preservation of technical meaning;
* usability and accessibility for intended audiences; and
* overall editorial quality.
If the volume or complexity of the assigned materials exceeds what can reasonably be completed within 25 hours, the contractor will notify the project lead, identify outstanding work, and recommend priorities before proceeding.

Scope of Work

* Review prioritized materialsto identify significant issues related to organization, flow, readability, terminology, precision, consistency, and accessibility.
* Substantively and developmentally edit assigned contentto improve organization, sequencing, clarity, transitions, directions, explanations, and relationships among concepts, evidence, criteria, and guidance.
* Edit for clarity and precisionby reducing ambiguity, unnecessary complexity, repetition, and wordiness while preserving the nuance and intended meaning of the content.
* Preserve technical fidelityby reviewing proposed edits to ensure they do not unintentionally change mathematical concepts, multilingual learner considerations, evidence statements, criteria, scoring guidance, or intended interpretations.
* Identify and document substantive questionsrequiring review by EdReports content or subject-matter experts rather than independently resolving questions outside the contractor's editorial expertise.
* Strengthen consistency across prioritized materials, including terminology, definitions, directions, examples, language conventions, and related explanations.
* Copyedit and conduct quality controlfor grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, mechanics, usage, and editorial consistency.
* Incorporate one consolidated round of EdReports feedbackand conduct a final editorial review of the agreed-upon materials, as time permits within the 25-hour engagement.
