About Us

Our Mission: At Strategic Educational Consulting, LLC, we ensure the safety of people and reduce the liability of businesses before an emergency happens. We strive to improve the safety and security of our clients by creating customized emergency plans and providing scenario-based training that our clients can use right away.

SEDC is led by Chander Jayaraman who has over 16 years of extensive experience and expertise in emergency planning, training, and consulting through his work with emergency planners, risk managers, school directors, and agency officials in the D.C. and the National Capital Region.

SEDC recognizes that the safety and security needs of each building, agency, and organization are unique. We provide a no-cost initial consultation to first understand our clients’ needs before we prepare a scope of work. We can also provide a readiness self-assessment so that our clients can understand their level of readiness and make informed decisions about what preparedness areas to prioritize.

We know from experience that emergency plans and maps must be realistic and actionable in order for them to be effective. The plans we create are customized to our clients’ needs and concerns, responsive to the threats they face, and actionable by both administrators and personnel. In addition, our plans, maps, and procedures meet or exceed International Fire Code standards and Federal, State, and Municipal regulations.

SEDC also has specialized expertise in developing plans to accommodate and assist people with disabilities or people with functional and access needs. We assist organizations to incorporate successful strategies into their normal routines by training caregivers or aides who support and assist functional needs populations.

SEDC is a certified MBE/DBE through Maryland DOT and approved to receive the maximum CBE points in the District of Columbia.
