Jeff Carlson, EdLD, MST

Head of National Education Partnerships
Clever

Dr. Jeff Carlson is Head of National Education Partnerships at Clever. His story began in the mountains of rural Idaho, where he witnessed firsthand the power – and limitations – of education. As the son of educators, he saw both the dedication it required and also the digital divide that left some students behind. This sparked a lifelong commitment to bridge the gap.

Fueled by his passion, Dr. Carlson embarked on a remarkable academic journey, earning degrees from Georgetown, Pace, and Harvard Universities. Over the last two decades, he has transformed classrooms in the South Bronx and helped shape education policy and technology at the highest levels, including Congress, the College Board, and T-Mobile.

Today, at Clever, Dr. Carlson leads the charge for educational opportunity and ensuring students can safely access the technology required to become a productive and fulfilled citizen. His impact is undeniable: he partners nationwide to empower 28 million students and educators by providing safe, secure access to the world of digital learning and he has received national recognition for his efforts.

But Dr. Carlson's vision extends beyond digital access. He advocates for sustainable solutions and effective policy changes to empower educators and build lasting systems. His goal is to ensure that every student, regardless of location, possesses the tools needed to thrive—today and in the future.
