my office, it helped organize my life. Principals believe if they work
longer hours they can get the job done, and this is simply not the
case. I was seriously considering leaving the principalship as a result
of the excessive hours, lack of job satisfaction, and stress. The
Breakthrough Coach did what no principal preparation program has ever
done and that is to clearly define the role of principal. If you
believe that true student achievement and school improvement will not
occur without principals spending more time working with teachers in
the classroom, you need The Breakthrough Coach." Thomas Gravel, principal Dilworth Glyndon Felton High School, Glyndon, MN
Seminar participants attend in teams: principals/administrators with their secretaries/assistants. Secretary participants say they've learned:- "Thank you, I'm ready to live my life again."
- "How
to take requests and have completed details and how someone else's poor
planning doesn't always have to become my emergency."
- "Learning not to clutter and become more efficient."
- "Principal getting organized doesn't necessarily mean I will be overloaded!"

 | Testimonials | "In my 32 years in education, this is the best in-service I have ever attended in terms of its impact on my productivity. It has allowed me to be out in the building on a regular basis, touching base with, and building relationships that will forward the development of my entire staff, while increasing the achievement of all students." Richard Stirn, principal John Marshall High School, Rochester Public Schools
"The Breakthrough Coach has been the most powerful formal training I have ever received in any leadership institute. This is my 6th year as a principal and the first that I have actually started the school year off with EXTRA TIME ON MY HANDS!" Barbara Cooper, principal, Hallett Academy, Denver Public Schools, Denver, CO The Breakthrough Coach is first class. I was working 17 hour days prior to the training - now only 8 hour days - and my math scores doubled in one year! Shimon Waronker, principal Jordan L. Mott Middle School, New York, NY
"The Breakthrough Coach program provided a leadership structure that increased my time in classrooms to monitor instruction, support teachers, and provide essential professional development aligned to the immediate needs of my students and teachers. As a result, our school attained National NCLB Blue Ribbon status and has become a model for other inner city schools at closing the achievement gap." Kathy Greider, principal Dwight Elementary, Hartford, CT
