Hello, everyone:



As some of you know, we are a small full service consulting firm, 
specializing in research and communication in education and the social and 
behavioral sciences.  We are happy with our own professionals who form the 
core or our organization.  However, currently we are expanding our education 
division into the wider Washington-Baltimore metro area.  We are contacting 
the viewers of this list, and one or two others, first before looking 
elsewhere, as we have noticed an incredible amount of talented professionals 
participating in list discussions.  We are also asking that if you are not 
interested, perhaps you could pass this call for professional help on to 
someone who might be interested.  In general, we are seeking freelance 
writers, researchers, and other professionals that we can call on "ad hoc," 
and that also have the ability to work well as part of our team and also 
individually, as the need requires.  This will not be steady work, but work 
predicated on the needs of our clients, and therefore subject to constant 
change.  We are looking for professionals in the following categories: 1. 
Proposal writers experienced and educated in the field of education (and the 
social and behavioral sciences) with proven track record of success.  2. 
Staff and faculty professional development specialists who are also writers 
and who can provide requisite professional development in a variety of 
educational areas to teachers, administrators, and counselors in both 
private and public schools and colleges.  3. Writers, researchers, and other 
communication specialists who are experienced in the field of education (and 
the social and behavioral sciences) and have a proven track record of 
successful creation and publication of critical publications.  4. Graphic 
designers, photographers, and photo journalists who have successful 
experience creating, developing, and producing a wide variety of materials 
for and about educators.  5. Career counselors, researchers, and writers, 
experienced in education, who understand the vagaries of the employment 
market and can offer substantive counseling to groups and individuals of 
varied ages in education programs that include school-to-work transitions, 
at-risk employment, in-service training, and the like.  6. Financial 
advisors who are also writers and who can provide substantive training 
programs in personal finance to all levels of educators.  7. Statisticians 
and researchers who are also writers and who can provide clear and 
accessible accounts of qualitative and quantitative research projects to the 
wider educational and public audiences. 8. Professional researchers and 
educators working in education who are bi- or multi-lingual.  Our immediate 
need is Spanish.  9.  Master teachers K-12 who are interested in doing 
classroom research and writing, are available for freelance work during the 
work week, and who have experience in a wide variety of educational areas. 
10. Educational policy analysts and writers who can work as part of a team 
and who are able to contribute to thoughtful and creative policy making as 
the need arises.



Our general requirements for all free lance professionals for all responses 
are the following: Because of the nature of our work and our client base, we 
are looking for professionals with advanced or terminal degrees.  However, 
if you are experienced with a proven track record, experience will be 
considered in lieu of education.  Here is what we are looking for in your 
response: A. Please be sure to provide us with a summary of your working 
style, ability to get along with others, and availability for ad hoc 
freelance work.  B. Please include 3 professional references that we can 
call now and that can attest to your  skills and abilities in a meaningful 
way. C. Please provide us with your financial requirements: what you charge 
per hour, what other charges you require, and so on. D. Please provide us 
with your full resume or CV in a hard copy in print that we can keep.  We 
will not be able to return any resumes or CVs. E. Please provide us with 
three hard copy or hard illustrations or samples of your work.  These must 
be in a print form that we can keep.  We will not be able to return samples. 
F. Please do not provide us with any other print or media material other 
than what we have requested.  If we want more, we will let you know.
