LENA helps teachers FOCUS on Young Children's Learning in New Mexico.

You can’t improve what you don’t measure. LENA Grow measures — and improves — the teacher-child interactions that play such a large role in New Mexico’s Quality Rating and Improvement System .

Even at centers with the highest quality rating, many children experience very little interaction with their teachers. That needs to change. When it does, higher classroom quality follows.
