Effectively communicate your program’s success story to help build buy-in, find community support, or leverage into potential funding opportunities.
Sharing your program successes helps people outside your organization understand the value of your program — and celebrates the hard work and success of your teachers, coaches, and children.
- Build support for your program by referencing the latest LENA Grow evaluation data and classroom language research.
- Support your recruitment and coaching conversations with center directors and teachers.
- Share your program outcomes with potential funders and community members using LENA resources.
