Beginner to Bubka book should be your bible honestly. Comes with a video CD too I think. I know several coaches who carry one around and reference it regularly. It goes through everything you'd need to know in fairly simple drills and explanations.
Not only do you need to know technique but how to plan a season for the kids. I'd also recommend if you have free time to do the drills yourself. It's much easier to explain if you have done it, even poorly, before.
That and youtube and you should easily cover the basics. If need more help just PM me, I have a PR over 16' and I've been coaching PV for the last 4 years at the HS level.
Shawn is a great guy and I highly recommend his vlog, but I'm not sure he's the best place to start from scratch. If you're looking to learn how to coach pole vault, I recommend this book. It's a more systematic approach to developing the vault.
