It’s hard to believe it has been almost one year since we launched RBG at Home!
If you have participated in one of our RBG at Home learning opportunities such as attending a Virtual Learning Live session, watching a Learning at Home video, downloading an activity sheet, or reading an RBG blog post, we want to hear your feedback.
We are looking to understand how we can improve your RBG at Home experience going into the second year of this online learning program. We would appreciate your time to share your feedback with us by completing the five-minute survey.
