GPB EDUCATION IS HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
We are dedicated to serving families, teachers, and students by supporting at-home learning during the COVID-19 outbreak. In partnership with GaDOE, we are offering an instruction broadcast schedule on GPB-TV and online learning resources. Kids can still find their favorite shows on GPB's PBS KIDS 24/7 channel and at gpbkids.org .
To better support families and teachers, we want to know how you have been using the Georgia Home Classroom on gpb.org/learn and/or the modified broadcast schedule.
LEARNING RESOURCES AND ACTIVITIES
We will be offering daily resources and activities to support your home learning plan. For more resources, go to gpb.org/learn .
