Educational Consultant Jobs: Transitioning Out of the Classroom

TeacherCareerCoach

Educational consultant jobs are a great fit for teachers transitioning out of the classroom. One of the most common questions I get asked is “what is educational consulting?” This blog will help you understand what you need to know and some next steps to help you if this is a path you are interested in.

If you need help leaving the classroom, check out the  Teacher Career Coach Course .  This step-by-step guide has helped thousands with a transition from teaching. Save time and get support with every step of picking a new path, rewriting your resume, and answering tricky interview questions.

If you are a teacher looking for a career outside of the classroom but still want to remain in education, one successful career path is becoming an educational consultant. Teachers often flourish in these positions because the work needed combines their teaching skills, administrative skills, and presentation skills. Educational consultants do a wide range of duties, sometimes providing qualitative advice on policies and procedures for companies. Some educational consultant jobs are similar to the duties of a professional development training position, training schools and districts. Educational consultant jobs, simply put, are looking for experts in education and job duties will vary depending on who the employer is.

Educational Consultant Jobs: I s this the right career for you?

A large majority of educational consultants work as freelancers. They reach out to school districts on their own and book training opportunities. They charge for full day PD packages or an hourly rate to help with onboarding new teachers, etc. Schools have an available amount of funding that they can use for this type of work.

There are companies that hire teachers specifically as educational consultants to train on specific trainings for districts. They will hire the top candidates to conduct PD (and often allow current teachers to do this as a lucrative side-gig) and fly them around the country to host trainings.

When working as an educational consultant freelancer, you don’t have to only work as a professional development trainer for districts. There are also educational consultant jobs within education companies. But you’ll need to have everything in place in order to start approaching companies as a freelancer. Click here if you want to learn more about freelancing for teachers .

An educational consultant’s job is to provide guidance on curriculum, resources, and teaching styles. Educational consultants make decisions and improvements in school systems, corporations, and home-based settings as well. An educational consultant job may be a full time career change or a part-time or freelance deal to start. This, of course, will depend on your personal goals – long and short term.

Skills for Success

First, teachers with an eye the big picture and finding innovative ways to solve problems have an aptitude for many of the skills needed for educational consultant jobs. You’ll want to showcase your subject-matter expertise with pedagogy and best practices.

The suggested skills and certifications for educational consultant jobs include: competence in researching, reporting, and analyzing data; experience or aptitude monitoring teachers to offer constructive suggestions; and knowledge of state and local rules regarding curriculum requirements.

You’ll want to create high quality presentations in order to deliver the information to clients or school districts. You can create a branded look by using a free program like Canva.

A Key Skill For Success: Networking

Networking is also important, especially for educational consultants who are working in a freelancing capacity. You’ll want to stay in with others who have ins at companies or districts they may be able to refer your services to. You’ll also want to attend conferences to meet others in your field.

If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, then an independent educational consultant job, where you are hired by parents or schools, is an option. It can give you the freedom to set your own schedule and work in any area you choose. This will take quite a bit of research and networking to get started. But, once you build a robust set of contacts to rely on, you’ll find plenty of opportunities.

Do Your Research

While you are on the job search the internet is a useful and valuable tool, especially Google. You can start by searching for educational companies or school districts near you. This should provide you with a helpful list of companies and school districts that are already looking for consultants. You will be surprised at how many companies are in need of a person with the skills of a teacher.

You can research other educational consultants to see what types of packages they are offering to help you prepare your own.

Where to Find Educational Consultant Jobs

Online job boards, such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor and Indeed, will also help to find open educational consultant jobs. Plus, you can use these sites to find additional information and reviews on topics. Such as: growth potential, employee profiles, promotions after 10 years, etc. This will help you decide if a company is a good fit and worth pursuing. 

What to Look for in a Company

Educational consultants are in demand in companies large and small, and there are pros and cons to both.

Larger companies have more name recognition, stability, organizational impact, but are harder to move up the corporate ladder. They will often have more hiring power so educational consultant positions may be more available at a larger education company.

Smaller companies are more flexible with job openings and growth potential variety. Employees will also be able to take advantage of opportunities to take on multiple roles and learn new skills. But a smaller company is less stable, especially if it is a start-up. Educational consultant jobs here may end up becoming much more long-term.

Here’s a helpful tip:

If you love the idea of working for yourself, sign up f or educational conferences as a speaker and pick a subject you are passionate about teaching. This is a great networking opportunity where you can meet companies or districts that may hire you. Meet people in your community with connections and contacts that may prove to be useful while building your client base and offer to do the same presentation at their school or district.

Be Willing to Take a Chance

Finally, I’ll share a story about how I got into educational consulting – by taking a chance. After I’d left the classroom, I stumbled across an educational consulting job with a software company. This job opening was amazing because I am passionate about technology in education.

The job was training teachers on how to effectively implement technology in the classroom. My classroom experience gave me a huge advantage over the other applicants. This educational consultant job had amazing perks. “ But what’s the catch ? ? ” I thought.

I’ve created a Teacher Career Coach podcast episode where I talk about my role as an educational consultant .

When opportunity knocks, don’t be afraid to answer the door. Transitioning out of the classroom is a big step. It can be overwhelmingly scary to leave a career that you once thought would bring you to retirement. But taking that step into an educational consultant job or any other career outside the classroom could impact your life in ways you never imagined.

Help for soon-to-be Former Teachers

This is proof positive that there are plenty of opportunities out there. Companies are looking for the talent and the skills teachers specialize in, including jobs as an educational consultant in particular.

If the classroom is no longer your cup of tea, there are plenty of opportunities and resources available to you. You can find the right job to match your skills, just like I did. Because of this, I created a course to help walk teachers through transitioning out of the classroom. The Teacher Career Coach Course has helped thousands of teachers transition out of the classroom.

This complete course will walk you through all the steps to transitioning out of the classroom. For example: identifying the positions you are the most qualified for, writing your resume, network with the right people to get your foot in the door, answer tricky interview questions, and more! We’ve helped thousands of teachers begin their transition. Are you ready?

Report: How to Train Student Leaders in the Classroom

A recent white paper highlights strategies for raising up student leaders through effective leadership education in pedagogy and learning outcomes.

Faculty members outline the learning outcomes and pedagogies to teach leadership to college students.

Marcus Chung/E+/Getty Images

Creating student leaders is something many institutions claim to do—one international database found there are more than 2,000 postsecondary institutions with formal curricula dedicated to student leadership—but curricular and co-curricular spaces for student leadership development lack a common practice or consensus in outcomes, according to a June white paper published in the Journal of Leadership Education .

The report’s authors, David Michael Rosch from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Scott J. Allen from John Carroll University in Ohio, present a conceptual model for undergraduate leadership development, providing specific curricular and pedagogical approaches to meet mastery of the skill.

“The goal is to help people in higher education think in a more organized way about what they want to accomplish and how they can set their programs up to get there,” Rosch shared in a June 11 press release.

The background: Leadership, one of the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ eight career-readiness competencies , is a student’s ability to recognize and capitalize on personal and team strengths to achieve organizational goals.

Despite the common acceptance that engaged students are better prepared to lead modern organizations and communities than their less-engaged peers, there is limited evidence on how or why that is the case, according to the paper.

“We seek to advance not another new theory for leader development, but rather an argument for what leader development should be and why and how it should be taught in postsecondary education,” the authors wrote.

The model: Rosch and Allen’s model is centered on two key priorities: leadership skill mastery (defined as horizontal development) and increasing maturity in student meaning-making (vertical development).

Horizontal development includes communication and listening skills, decision-making techniques, conflict management, negotiation, influence strategies, and building and managing diverse and culturally competent teams. These skills are necessary but not always sufficient to lead practically. Mastery of conflict management concepts doesn’t mean much if a leader does not apply them in the appropriate context, showing how knowledge is paired with meaning-making.

Vertical development, therefore, is the practical application of leadership contexts using wisdom and maturity. Constructive developmental theory highlights how adults learn to take on the perspectives of those around them, confront the limitations of their own opinions and reframe their perspectives based on their environment and how context may shift.

Based on this theory, report authors argue it should be the goal of higher education institutions to not just teach leadership within textbook theory but also develop mental complexity to recognize how and when to apply tools.

Put in practice: To achieve these developmental goals, the authors borrow a model for adult learning and provide five orientations for learning—cognitive learning, behavioral learning, constructive learning, humanistic learning and social-cognitive learning.

Defining Terms

The report authors describe five orientations:

• Cognitive learning focuses on knowledge acquisition, information processing and developing internal cognitive structures. In leadership, this means mastering leadership theory.
• Behavioral learning emphasizes skill development, eliciting a behavior change in the learner.
• Constructive learning , or personal meaning-making, combines the cognitive and behavioral through critical reflection. This is not the same as vertical development, which prioritizes situation-based assessment, allowing students to identify solutions to complex scenarios with maturity.
• Humanistic learning teaches students how to self-actualize and develop personal goals.
• Social-cognitive learning guides learners through how environment and people in a culture shape learning, helping them interact with those who have more skills or experience (such as a mentor).

The ideal leadership development course integrates the five orientations into learning outcomes and facilitates educational experiences not in siloed capacities, but in ways that allow students to use all skills.

Examples of this could be a multiple-choice exam to assess theoretical concepts, role playing to teach behaviors, essay reflection on ethical leadership practices and how that aligns with the students’ career goals or past behaviors, or learning from a guest with experience in the field.

• Catawba College Receives a $200 Million Donation. Again.
• Demand for Online Courses Surges, Creating Cultural Tensions

“These forms of integration are common within many academic programs across disciplines,” the authors share. “Still, we call for the architects of these programs to be more intentional in building opportunities for learning across all five orientations to ensure that each is substantially represented within the student experience.”

Some skills that can benefit deep learning of these concepts include cognitive bias awareness, mindfulness, active listening, perspective-taking capacity, dialectical thinking, reflection and reflexivity.

Professors can also consider how their pedagogy can improve learning outcomes, such as norm setting, building a community-holding environment, supporting students’ emotions and ensuring appropriate amounts of challenge and support within the classroom.
