Matthew Frank

Matthew Frank brings 18 years of experience to his work as a consultant in education, working exclusively with underserved populations in both traditional school districts and with CMOs. Matthew was introduced to the world of education via substitute teaching, a flexible way to generate income having just completed a Bachelor of Science in Communications from the University of Texas at Austin. Inspired by the education reform movement underway in Austin’s schools, he became a bilingual elementary school teacher and taught at a variety of grade levels for 7 years. During that time, he earned a Master’s Degree in Curriculum & Instruction as part of the first Proyecto Maestría cohort, a partnership between AISD and UT aimed at developing bilingual teachers’ knowledge in bilingual education best practices. 

After a brief 3-year stint in New York City writing Math and Reading curriculum for several of the major publishers, he returned to Austin and was accepted to the Principalship Program, UT’s Master’s degree program for Education Administration. Starting as a founding AP at KIPP Austin’s first elementary school in 2010, he was awarded a Fisher Fellowship, KIPP’s yearlong leadership fellowship that prepares educators to design, launch, and lead new high-performing schools. He designed and founded KIPP Austin Obras, a dual language & blended learning elementary school in Austin, Texas, where he served as principal for 5 years.

In 2018, Matthew made the transition to consulting in order to have a positive impact on schools and districts across the state as they strive to improve outcomes for students by leveraging his experiences and successes to help overcome the challenges they face or the initiatives they are launching.
