Management Development for Instructional Leaders

Welcome to The Breakthrough Coach

The Breakthrough Coach (TBC) is a consulting firm dedicated to developing the managerial skills of school administrators. TBC's Management Methodology is a research-based program with a track record of:

  • Multiplying the time instructional leaders spend observing classrooms
  • Decreasing administrators' total work hours
  • Raising student achievement

TBC clients are typically talented high-performers, working under multiple pressures. They log long hours, yet are unable to find enough time during the school day for classroom observation and instructional coaching. They are committed to increasing student achievement, but often find themselves distracted from their goals.

TBC addresses this situation by teaching administrators how to apply management practice to the running of a school’s front office–practices that enable them to:

  • Spend two full days each week observing classroom instruction;
  • Maintain a sensible workload;
  • Achieve fulfilling professional and personal lives.

By developing their managerial skills, TBC clients are able to provide focused and effective instructional leadership, as they take on the critical challenge of impacting student achievement.


"Great coaches never impact the outcome of a game by sitting behind a desk all day. Great coaches are on the field where the game is being played. Your job as an Instructional Leader is to be 'on the field' where the game is being played, and in your case, that's the classroom."

Malachi Pancoast, President,
The Breakthrough Coach
