LENA Grow Coaching Session Preparation
The Coaching Session Preparation screen contains all reports, alerts, and actions needed for the next session.
How to open Coaching Session Prep
Click the blue Coaching Session Prep icon in the Room Info area of the center's detail dashboard, or the room dashboard.
Coaching Session Prep is available to LENA Online account administrators, and to users who are associated to the group.
If you are a coach and the icon is gray, ask your team's LENA Online administrator to connect you to the classroom.
How to use Coaching Session Prep
Visit this screen two or three days before your scheduled coaching session to quickly identify and fix data problems. When ready, use it to print everything you'll need for the next session, and to check off your session-related "to do" list.

The system automatically indicates which coaching session is coming up next, based on the number of LENA Days this room has made. The session number is displayed at the top of the page, and the matching checklist is automatically selected.
If the session number doesn't match your records, check the Room Alerts to be sure you don't have an accidental LENA Day with just one child.
Room alerts at the top of the screen help coaches and program administrators keep the room on track for a successful sequence. The system will flag key issues such as:
Use the button in the Required Reports section to quickly view, print, or save all of the reports that are part of the upcoming session.
Quick links to optional reports are available under Additional Reports.
For virtual coaching sessions, you can use this button save the reports as a PDF to send to teacher by email.
This button will always print the reports from the most recent LENA Day, regardless of which session you have selected in the checklist below.
If you need to print or save previous LENA Day details on a Room Summary, Room Detail, or Individual Child Report with details from a previous LENA Day, access the reports through the dashboard and adjust to show the date of interest.
Tabs across the screen contain lists of session-specific tasks, with links to relevant resources.
The upcoming session is automatically selected based on the number of LENA Days the room has completed.
