Build your Instructional Coaching Playbook in Three Simple Steps
STEP 1
Set Your Plan
Take the Simple CoachPath™ self-assessment, choose your focus, and set a simple weekly routine.
The Result: You stop feeling lost, align your role with your principal, and coach with a clear focus rather than just coaching to coach.
STEP 2
Implement with Support
Use the Simple CoachPath™ lessons and tools in real classrooms. Get feedback in Coaching Labs.
The Result: You stop running one-off coaching cycles and start coaching with intention that supports teachers and grows student achievement.
STEP 3
Keep Growing with The Lab
Utilize the on-demand trainings, toolkits, monthly workshops, and community.
The Result: You keep improving across coaching cycles, build a living playbook, refine your practice, and show measurable growth with evidence you can share in five minutes.
“Because of the Lab, I've been able to build trusting relationships with teaching staff...”
I have four active coaching cycles going right now which I believe resulted in having strong reflective conversations around what coaching is and what it looks like with these teachers. Because of the Lab, I’ve been able to build trusting relationships with teaching staff and to use student data and reflective questioning to help teachers be more open to coaching and coaching cycles.

When I first became a coach, no one handed me a plan.
When I first became a coach, no one handed me a plan.
I had five tasks…
- Morning Duty
- Lunch Duty
- Dismissal Duty
- Data Entry of Student Test Scores
- And… “make teachers better”
But no one showed me how. Sound Familiar?
No roadmap. No tools. No clarity. Just expectations.
I spent my beginning years as a coach second-guessing everything.
I searched everywhere for training, but it was too expensive to pay for on a teacher’s salary.
I bought and read books that left me more confused than when I started because they were written by people who didn’t coach in a school like mine.
And I kept asking myself:
“How do I actually help teachers and students? What should I focus on first?”
Now you’re a coach… and no one actually showed you how to coach. And you are here because you are left to figure it out on your own.
You are not alone!
Coaches are expected to support teachers, lead professional development, track progress, and somehow still be available for everything else.
But the truth is: most coaches are never given the training, tools, or support to do this work well.
Meanwhile, teachers are trained, observed, coached, and supported. But coaches? You’re expected to lead without ever being led.
That doesn’t make sense.
Teachers get implementation support. Coaches deserve that too.
I built the Simply Coaching Lab to be the kind of support I wish I had.
Inside, you won’t just learn what to do, you’ll actually implement it, with tools, examples, and guidance the whole way through.
And you won’t do it alone.

How The Lab Works
Your journey is simple and guided. You start where you are, set a weekly routine, and choose a clear focus so coaching time is protected. You learn how to coach through the Simple CoachPath™ and what to coach through the Simple GrowthPath™, then practice with coaching tools and support.
Along the way, the workshops and Coach PLC help you solve problems, share wins, and stay consistent.
You finish each stage with a stronger practice, a living playbook, and evidence of growth you can share in five minutes.
You start as a Foundation Builder
You get oriented, take the Simple CoachPath™ Self Assessment, pick your first focus pillar, and set a simple weekly routine to protect your coaching time.
Next, You become a Learning Builder
You learn how to coach inside the Simple CoachPath™ 2-day Intensive. You use clear planning language, stronger questions, and steady routines so coaching feels doable every week.
Optional: Coaches can gain extra support by attending weekly Pillar Pods.
Next, You become a Growth Builder
You learn what to coach in the Simple GrowthPath™ 1-day Intensive. You choose pillar-based strategies, use the Strategy Notebook for planning, and begin to see instruction lift.
Next, You become a Mastery Builder
You tighten systems and sharpen practice. Monthly Growth Workshops and the Coach PLC help you solve real problems, share takeaways, and lead with clarity that others can follow.
Optional: Coaches can attend quarterly accelerator cohorts.
You are an Impact Builder
You track progress with snapshots and Coaching Scorecards, keep adding to your living playbook, and tell a five-minute evidence story that shows measurable growth for teachers and students.
Optional: Coaches can attend the Simply Coaching Framework™ 12-week Accelerator to become a certified coach.
You’ll walk away with:
- A living instructional coaching playbook you keep building.
- Clear coaching vision and a role aligned with your principal.

- You want a simple with tools you can use tomorrow
- You want a supportive community and measurable impact
This is NOT for you if:

What Happens When You Say Yes...
You walk into meetings with clarity.
You lead coaching cycles that actually stick.
You support teachers in a way that builds trust and gets results.
And you finally feel like a coach who is making an impact, not just surviving the role.
