What Participants
Say About TBC's
2-Day Program

"TBC's practices produce quantifiable results. At the end of 2006, 67% of our students scored Exemplary in math. After using TBC's organizational model for two years, 94% scored Exemplary - an increase of nearly 30%!"

Dr. Dana West, Past Principal,
Estacado Junior High School, Plainview, TX.
Current Principal, Travis Middle School, Amarillo, TX

"The Breakthrough Coach is first class. I was working 17 hour days prior to the training - now only 8 - and my math scores have doubled in one year!"

Shimon Waronker, Past Principal,
Jordan L. Mott Middle School, New York, NY

"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 and building relationships that will forward the development of my entire staff."

Richard Stirn, Principal,
Rochester PS, Rochester, MN

"I strongly encourage and support new principals to attend TBC's 2-Day Program. Principals cannot receive training like TBC offers anywhere else. By the time I was in my second principalship, I found I was able to spend on average 3 days each week in the classrooms and knew every one of the 500 kids in that school. When a principal can focus on instruction, the impact on student achievement is overwhelmingly positive."

Trina Rich, Executive Director, Middle Schools,
Cherry Creek School District, Greenwood Village, CO
