## What Is the Simply Coaching Summit?

The [Simply Coaching Summit](https://simplycoaching.co/simply-coaching-summit-2026)
is one of the premier virtual professional learning events for instructional coaches.
Now in its seventh year, the summit brings together current practitioners, experienced
leaders, and passionate educators who share strategies, insights, and concrete examples
you can take back and use in your school immediately.

This year’s theme is **Building Your Instructional Coaching Playbook** — and the
lineup is packed with sessions that will help you walk away with a coaching playbook
that strengthens instruction and equips you to help teachers improve student learning.

**The summit runs July 6–8, 2026**, and all sessions are pre-recorded, which means
you can watch on-demand whenever it works for your schedule. Plus, you get **90 
days of replay access** after the event.

## My Session: Communication That Gets You in the Classroom Door

I’ll be presenting a session called **Communication – Collaboration – Critical Planning:
Using Coaching Newsletters and Other Communication Methods Effectively to Get into
the Classroom for Meaningful Coaching Cycles**.

Here’s the core question this session tackles: **Do you find that your coaching 
emails and newsletters are missing the mark and not getting you in the classroom
door?**

If that hits home, you’re not alone. Many coaches are trained on _what_ to do inside
a classroom — but not on _how to get invited into one_. That’s exactly what this
session fixes.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

 * **Audit your current coaching communications** — newsletters, emails, and outreach—
   and identify what’s landing and what’s being ignored
 * **Apply a repeatable framework** for writing action-oriented coaching messages
   that clearly communicate value and invite teachers into coaching cycles
 * **Use specific templates and structures** — subject lines, calls to action, scheduling
   nudges — that reduce friction and increase classroom access
 * **Walk away with a reusable communication toolkit** you can adapt for your building
   or district immediately

Whether you’re a brand-new coach trying to establish credibility or a veteran looking
to sharpen your outreach, this session will give you practical tools you can put
to work right away.

## I’d Love to See You There

The Simply Coaching Summit has consistently been one of the most valuable virtual
PD experiences I’ve been part of. The sessions are practical, the community is supportive,
and you’ll leave with strategies you can actually implement — not just theory you’ll
file away.

I’m honored to be part of this year’s lineup, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve
been building around coaching communication systems. If you’re an instructional 
coach looking for your next professional learning experience this summer, this is
it.

**See you at the summit!**
