Welcome to the breakthrough coach

The Breakthrough Coach (TBC) is a consulting firm dedicated to developing the managerial skills of public school principals and administrators. TBC's Management Methodology™ is a research-based program with has 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. Many are suffering from burn out, putting their districts at risk of losing their best and brightest leaders.

The Breakthrough Coach has been supporting educators for over 10 years.
Led by Malachi Pancoast, TBC's presentations and curriculum teach 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's clients are able to provide focused and effective instructional leadership, as they take on the critical challenge of impacting student achievement.

"A great coach never impacts the outcome of a game by sitting behind their 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
