Dr. Leonard consults with academic programs and institutions on accreditation preparation, ongoing compliance, and post-review response. This work includes aligning assessment practices with accrediting standards, identifying areas of risk, and supporting sustainable documentation and reporting processes. Emphasis is placed on clarity, defensibility, and long-term institutional readiness rather than short-term fixes.

Consultation is available in psychometric design, test construction, validation, and score interpretation, particularly in professional and graduate education. Dr. Leonard works with institutions to strengthen the technical quality of assessments, improve reliability and validity, and ensure appropriate use of high-stakes testing. This includes both formative and summative assessment systems.

Dr. Leonard advises on assessment practices tied to high-stakes decisions, including progression, remediation, graduation, and licensure preparation.

Institutions consult with Dr. Leonard to evaluate and improve outcomes assessment systems at the course, program, and institutional levels. This includes clarifying learning outcomes, strengthening data collection and interpretation, and building assessment processes that meaningfully inform improvement. The goal is assessment that supports decision-making rather than compliance alone.

Dr. Leonard provides consultation on the intersection of student psychological well-being and academic performance, particularly in rigorous or high-pressure educational environments. This work examines how assessment practices, curriculum design, and institutional culture affect student functioning. Recommendations are grounded in psychological science and practical constraints within higher education.
