What does real leadership support look like? For Superintendent Heidi Sipe of Umatilla School District, it means giving site leaders something they can't buy more of: time.

Time to observe instruction. Time to lead data-team meetings. Time to sit side-by-side with teachers and build intervention strategies that actually move the needle for students.

Congratulations, Heidi, keep up the good work!

Before → After: James Rise, Principal of Central Howell Elementary in Silver Falls School District, Oregon, and a recent grad of our Portland course, just mastered Fundamental Practice #1™ – Clean Your Office!

He turned cluttered admin chaos into a calm, purpose-built space where he can get his work done and then head back into classrooms, making the largest impact on teaching and learning. This is what sustainable leadership looks like: fewer distractions, clearer priorities, more time where it matters.

The new school year is here. 🍎📚

The hallways are buzzing, the buses are running, and class is back in session. But before you dive into lesson plans, IEP meetings, and a thousand emails, your first assignment is to show up for yourself.

This year, try leading differently. Not harder, but smarter, with systems, boundaries, and a plan that actually protects your time. Prevent burnout before it starts. Make this the year you pour from a full cup–and watch what your students can achieve when you do.

We’re still buzzing from our incredible time with Corona-Norco Unified School District. They brought 75 teams filled with amazing energy, focus, and commitment to rethinking how school leadership works. They set the bar high for what's possible when a district shows up ready to grow. Watch to see what some participants had to say about their experience.

August is here! The hallways are about to fill up again, and that familiar mix of anticipation and nerves is settling in. The best school years start now, with the groundwork you lay before the students ever walk back into the building. This month's newsletter is all about setting the tone for the whole year ahead.

Be honest: how many times today has someone popped into your office with "got a sec?" 🙃

The “Open Door Policy” does not mean constantly having an open door. An open office door is simply an invitation to be interrupted. This piece makes a powerful case for school leaders to close the door when deep work matters, and to teach their teams that time is scarce and therefore valuable.

A BIG shout-out to our Sarasota County School District clients, Becky Drum, Principal, Glenallen Elementary School, North Port, FL, and Amy Archer, Principal, Garden Elementary School, Venice, FL, for their schools’ outstanding achievements this past year. The two are colleagues and friends, and both are coached by TBC’s Foundations Course Leader, Dr. Cordell Jones.

Glenallen Elementary School achieved a major milestone in 2025-2026 by earning an official "A" school grade from the Florida Department of Education. This represents a jump from a "B" and an overall improvement of 65 points. Becky has also had the privilege of mentoring two APs, each of whom were promoted to Principal in two years or less.

Garden Elementary increased its school grade by 75 points in one year, returning to a solid A rating and achieving the highest performance scores in the school’s history! The school was recognized by the Sarasota County School District as a top-performing school for mathematics and reading learning gains, outstanding improvement, and inspiring growth, as measured by Florida’s state school grade accountability system.

Becky Drum and Amy Archer: Two Breakthrough Coach “Principals To Watch.” We applaud their outstanding commitments to their students, staff, and the advancement of school leadership everywhere.
