Our purpose is to produce breakthrough results in schools by transforming the roles of school leaders and secretaries. Through The Breakthrough Coach, we work with educational leaders who are looking for a proven approach to expanding their instructional leadership time and improving student outcomes while establishing healthy work-life boundaries for themselves and their staff. For over 25 years, our Professional Development Program has served as a foundation for new instructional leaders and a life-altering resource for experienced ones. The program focuses on developing productive front-office environments that free administrators to prioritize sustainable, school-wide improvement. Its track record includes reducing administrators workloads by 1520 hours each week and multiplying the amount of time they spend in classrooms by 500%. We believe this approach provides an answer to improving student outcomes while supporting a healthy personal life.
Since 1998, approximately 100,000 administrators and their secretaries have worked with The Breakthrough Coach in the United States and around the world. We have been featured presenters at numerous professional and academic gatherings, and the overwhelmingly positive response to our presentations and phased approach to administrator challenges has resulted in numerous repeat invitations. Our program continues to connect with educators who are eager to transform their instructional leadership through new approaches. We offer The Foundations Course, Webinar Series, Personal Coaching, program calendar and registration resources, FAQs, testimonials, and case studies. We encourage interested educational leaders to learn from our graduates, meet our team, and contact us about improving student outcomes, staff satisfaction and retention, and healthy work-life boundaries.
