The Frank Cunningham Difference

What Sets Us Apart?

All of our teachers have 10-30 years of teaching and/or administrative experience in a broad range of K-12 schools. We understand the unique challenges faced by NYC schools and offer expert coaching designed to address these needs.

Tailored Coaching

We provide individualized, one-on-one support, which is proven to drive teacher growth more effectively than generalized training.

Research-Backed Methods

The consultancy’s approaches are aligned with evidence-based practices and research from current scholarship, including strategies informed by culturally responsive and trauma-informed pedagogies, and formative and performance-based assessments, ensuring impactful instruction.

In-Depth Data Analysis

We offer programs focused on using assessment data to improve teaching, an approach that enhances both teacher and student outcomes through targeted reteaching and ongoing assessments.

Extensive Assessment Knowledge

We are well-versed in New York State standards and graduation requirements, including Consortium-approved Performance-Based Assessments, student-centered, project-based pedagogies, and Regents examinations.
