Instruction Simplified Lab
Where teachers turn strategy into practice
An online community dedicated to simplfying the work and strengthening the classroom.
Stop trying to figure it out on your own..
The Instruction Simplified Lab is a monthly teacher community designed to help you move from ideas to implementation with support, clarity, and collaboration built in.
You’ve attended the PD.
You’ve saved the strategies.
You’ve downloaded the resources.
But when Monday comes…
You’re still overwhelmed
The strategy doesn’t fully translate
You’re figuring it out alone
The Instruction Simplified Lab exists to bridge the gap between learning and doing.
This is not:
Another one-off PD
A resource dump with no guidance
A sit-and-get webinar
This is:
Ongoing support
Real-time collaboration
Practical tools you actually use
Erinn Cottman
The Instruction Simplified Lab is built on the belief that strong instruction isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what matters, well. This community is grounded in coaching, collaboration, and clarity not trends or overwhelm.
