In Florida, Pasco County Schools, among the largest school districts in the U.S., launched its LENA Grow program in January of 2023. They’ve reached children and teachers in Head Start, Early Head Start, and VPK (Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program) classrooms. The district’s Director of Early Childhood Programs, Vicki Wolin, will describe the why and the how of their LENA journey, touching on topics such as family engagement, CLASS scores, funding, and teacher job satisfaction.
