Coaching With LENA Grow

Each week of LENA Grow is outlined in both the Coach Guide and LENA Online Session Prep — just follow the step-by-step directions! The basic structure of each weekly coaching session remains the same throughout the sequences. But some weeks introduce new topics or activities. 

Review the schedule and topic lists below to familiarize yourself with the coaching curricula each sequence.


Wrap Up
After coaching the last session in a sequence, you will close out or “wrap up” the sequence. An overview of the necessary tasks are outlined in your Sequence & Wrap Up checklist and also in LENA Online Session Prep.

When your LENA Grow sequence is complete, don't forget to return your LENA Grow Room Kit!


Mid-Year Reflection Checklist
The program manager is responsible for tasks in the checklist, but as a coach, your input is greatly recommended. Your practice and insight will be especially helpful during the review of LENA Grow. 

Also consider ways to share program successes with the rest of your community. Being able to show impact at a personal level helps connect program data to the actual experience of your teachers and their students.
