Frequently Asked Questions
When will this all be available?
We’re intentionally phasing our rollout throughout fall 2026 into 2027 and will work with you to plan best timing to meet your needs.
Will I need to complete any training to use the new device or dock?
LENA will provide a short (~15 min) online training on how to use the new devices and dock, along with a teacher support webpage that guides teachers through unpacking their Room Kits and setting up the technology.
Will coaching still be a part of LENA Grow?
Yes. The Teacher App is designed to support a range of coaching models, and expand access where coaching is not available or is limited.
