Group Detail Dashboard for LENA Start
Although Session Preparation is the best source for group info and actions, the group detail dashboard puts basic group stats and certain action items all on one screen.
Group detail dashboard features
- The pages icon opens Session Preparation.
- High-level group stats are summarized - the same stats from the Welcome Dashboard for just this group, plus an indication of which session the group is on, and how many families are off track for graduation.
Children who have at least one session attendance or LENA Day appear in the table.
The table contains most of the same information as the Session Prep Report, including parent names, notifications, and colorful indications of a child's progress toward graduation.
In contrast to the prep report, this dashboard shows children who are too far behind on sessions/LENA Days to graduate, or who participated but have been marked as dropped. (These participants count toward the group stars goals.)
While you can't take attendance or see star totals on the dashboard, you can easily access a single child's report by clicking on his or her name.
How to use the "on track / off track" indicators for attendance and recordings
The group detail dashboard and Session Prep Report indicate which families are on track and which ones need intervention to graduate - and more importantly, to get the most out of LENA Start. The legend at the bottom of the dashboard explains the coding, but here are a few more details.
Attendance bubbles:
- Yellow: Let them know that they're doing fine, but if they miss a Session or LENA Day they'll fall off track.
- Red: It's still possible for the family to graduate, but only if you schedule make-up session(s) with them.
Recordings indicators:
- The number indicates how many unhidden LENA Days the family has submitted to date.
- A red asterisk means the participant has fewer recordings than recommended based on the current session. Talk to the parents about any issues they are having with recordings to make sure they stay on track.
- A processing animation (fondly known as the LENA Woolly Worm) means the child has a LENA Day that is still uploading or processing. If you believe processing should have completed, check the LENA Hub where the device was transferred.
If a participant's information is gray, the family is too far off track to complete the program. It's best to focus your efforts and attention on the other families.
