About Us?

Over 30 years of Experience

In an era where the education sector faces pressing operational and support challenges, Echelon Education Consulting emerges as an essential partner. A 2022 Gallup Poll underscored the severity of these challenges, revealing that 55% of U.S. educators are considering leaving their profession prematurely due to burnout — the highest rate among all professions. Primary factors for this include inadequate support, overwhelming work demands, and classroom management difficulties. EEC is poised to address this critical need for expert guidance in teacher coaching, operations management, and virtual learning design. Catering to charter schools, private schools, and smaller school districts, EEC’s mission is to enhance the quality and reach of education, demonstrating a profound commitment to navigating the contemporary educational landscape.
