K-12

For K-12 organizations, Leverage Education focuses on the organizational and professional-services side of the work: strategic planning, school and district improvement, leadership and staff development, facilitation, organizational change, implementation support, grant-funded initiative design, and education-to-workforce pathway development. Our practitioner network includes current and former teachers and school administrators who bring school-level experience to the work.

Higher education

Our higher-education work spans institutional strategy, adult and online learners, transfer, enrollment and growth, program design, lifelong learning, workforce alignment, organizational design, and implementation. We understand the institutional realities that shape decisions, pace, priorities, and the changes required to put strategy into practice.
