The Complete Coaching System That Grows Teachers, Strengthens Leadership, and Raises Student Achievement
Your coaches are working hard. Your leaders are doing their best.
But without a clear system, it’s hard to make coaching stick and even harder to measure its impact.
The Simply Coaching School Accelerator™ is a 2-year, milestone-based partnership designed for districts ready to build a sustainable instructional coaching system that supports teachers, grows leaders, and drives real instructional change.
And the best part? You can start anytime, because progress is measured by milestones, not calendar dates.
We talk to districts every week that want more confident coaches, stronger instruction, and real growth for teachers...
...but they’re stuck trying to figure out why coaching still isn’t working.
They’ve invested time and money into coaching, but the results feel unclear. The connection to instruction is loose. Teachers aren’t growing consistently. And no one’s really sure how to measure progress in a way that sticks.
That’s where we come in.
Most leaders believe in coaching, and so do we.
But belief alone isn’t enough. What’s usually missing is a clear, research-aligned framework that helps coaching lead to stronger instruction and better outcomes for students and teachers.
So ask yourself, is your coaching program:
- Disconnected from instructional priorities?
- Lacking structure or clear expectations?
- Struggling to show impact on teaching and learning?
- Overwhelming for coaches and underwhelming for teachers?
When coaching is done right, you get results.
The Simply Coaching School Accelerator is powered by the Simply Coaching Framework
This research-aligned model focuses on 3 core anchors for building strong instructional ecosystems in schools.
Anchor 1:
Establish the System
Use the S.I.M.P.L.E. Blueprint™ to create clear roles, structures, and expectations for coaching and teacher support.
Anchor 2:
Develop Educators
Train and support coaches and leaders using the CoachPath™, GrowthPath™, and LeaderPath™ frameworks.
Anchor 3: Drive Collective Impact
Use our Simple DataCycles™ to measure what’s working, track teacher growth, and ensure students benefit.

Why we built it this way.
Most districts treat coaching like a single PD day or summer workshop—but coaching isn’t a one-and-done event.
We designed the Simply Coaching School Accelerator around two key truths:
1. Coaches need time to build clarity and systems before they can coach well.
2. Ongoing implementation support is what makes the work sustainable.
That’s why we don’t just train and leave.
We walk with your coaches, leaders, and teams through every milestone, from launch to certification.
A Note from Nicole
As a former instructional coach and district leader, I know firsthand how hard it is to build a coaching program that actually works.
Not one that just looks good on paper, but one that truly supports teachers, grows leaders, and improves instruction across classrooms.
That’s what we’re building with the Simply Coaching School Accelerator™.
It’s not just PD. It’s not another initiative. It’s a 2-year partnership to help you create a system that sticks and a team that thrives.
If you're ready to build something that lasts, I’d love to support your district.
