Dr. Erick Alfonso, a trailblazing educational leader, has officially launched ALIGN Consultant Group, a consulting firm dedicated to helping schools, educators, and communities overcome barriers to success and build equitable, innovative educational environments. With a mission rooted in the belief that education is the great equalizer, Dr. Alfonso's company is already making waves by securing over $15 million in grant funding and driving initiatives that impact diverse, high-need communities.
ALIGN Consultant Group focuses on eliminating systemic barriers in education by partnering with institutions to develop sustainable initiatives, provide tailored executive coaching, and ensure equitable access to learning for all students. The organization’s innovative approach aims to reshape the educational ecosystem, empowering teachers and students to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
A Journey from Overcoming Barriers to Creating Opportunities
Dr. Alfonso’s professional journey reflects the heart of ALIGN’s mission. Raised in poverty by immigrant parents, Dr. Alfonso faced significant challenges throughout his early life but remained determined to break the cycle of adversity. These experiences drove him to pursue higher education against all odds, earning both a doctorate and an MBA while working his way up the leadership ladder in K-12 education.
“My journey was never easy, but it’s what shaped my commitment to creating opportunities for all students,” said Dr. Alfonso. “ALIGN isn’t just about offering solutions to schools; it’s about empowering individuals, communities, and educators to build a future where every child, regardless of their background, has the chance to succeed.”
ALIGN Consultant Group’s Impact and Vision for the Future
With his extensive experience, Dr. Alfonso has led successful initiatives, such as securing significant grant funding and partnering with higher education institutions like the University of Maryland and Norfolk Stste University to offer educational programs, including teacher and administration certification programs. Under his leadership, ALIGN aims to create lasting change by supporting institutions with resources that drive innovation and inclusion, focusing on closing the achievement gap for underrepresented communities.
“I’ve seen firsthand how systemic challenges affect education,” he said. “At ALIGN, we provide not just strategies, but the tools and resources needed to transform those challenges into opportunities for growth and success.”
Dr. Alfonso’s efforts have been recognized on both a state and national level, with his work featured at prominent conferences, such as NJASA TECHSPO and the US Department of Education’s Teach to Lead Initiative, where he shared insights on integrating AI into educational leadership.
ALIGN's Holistic Approach to Educational Transformation

The firm brings together these principles to create tailored solutions that enhance educational leadership, foster collaboration, and promote systemic change. Through strategic planning, executive coaching, and partnership building, ALIGN ensures that institutions not only survive but thrive in a competitive and ever-evolving educational landscape.
“The future of education isn’t just about better outcomes in the classroom; it’s about creating a holistic environment that empowers every child to succeed,” said Dr. Alfonso.
A Call for Collaboration in Educational Change
As ALIGN Consultant Group moves forward, Dr. Alfonso is committed to expanding the reach of his mission by collaborating with more educational institutions and community organizations to drive equitable change. With an eye on the future, he is confident that ALIGN can lead the way in shaping an education system that meets the needs of all students—academically, socially, and emotionally.
“I’m passionate about creating opportunities where they’ve been too often overlooked,” said Dr. Alfonso. “It’s time to reimagine what education can be for every child, and ALIGN is the partner to make that happen.”
