Josh Parker
Senior Consultant
Josh Parker is a Senior Consultant on the Engaged Students Team. He works with various clients in the P20 schools and in the nonprofit sectors in the areas of coherent assessment systems, instructional quality and grantmaking strategy.
As an African-American male graduate of the K12 public school system and former educator within, he has seen and experienced first hand the importance of an integrated and effective assessment and instructional system on the outcomes of historically resilient students. Coherence matters. Quality consultation also matters, which is in line with his life motto: “Help people and solve problems.” He is grateful to have the opportunity to work at Education First so that he can continue to live out a life that is informed and supported by his life’s focus.
Joshua earned a Bachelor’s of Science Degree from Towson University and a Master of Arts in Teaching and Leadership from Notre Dame of Maryland University. He enjoys watching his favorite team—the Buffalo Bills—and spending time with his wife of over a decade, Tiffany and their two children—Joshua and Laila.
