Classrooms that used LENA Grow, an experiential professional development program for early childhood teachers, increased scores in key CLASS domains compared to classrooms that did not use the program, a pre-post evaluation shows.

“Because the LENA Grow reports provided instant results that teachers could see, they gained more of an understanding of some of the CLASS dimensions and indicators,” said Lisa Austin, a coach who worked with FWISD teachers during the program. “So teachers gained a better understanding of what a high-quality, interactive classroom looks like.”

Teachers who participated in the program increased the amount of Conceptual Development, Quality Feedback and Language Modeling in their classrooms as measured by CLASS.

The pre-post percent change for teachers using LENA Grow was 47% in the Quality Feedback dimension while non-LENA teachers saw only a 5% increase. Similarly, LENA Grow teachers saw an average increase of 29% in the Language Modeling dimension while non-LENA teachers showed only a 4% increase.
