About

Relay’s mission is to teach teachers and school leaders to develop in all students the academic skills and strength of character needed to succeed in college and life. Our vision is to become the place where a new generation of continuously-improving, mission-driven individuals can fulfill their destiny in the world’s greatest profession.

To achieve our mission, we focus on preparing and developing outstanding teachers and school leaders. We set ambitious goals for our work, and we continually assess our effectiveness supporting our graduate students and their PK-12 students. By closely monitoring our progress in key areas, we move closer toward fulfilling our promises. While there is much to be done, we are deeply committed to getting there.

In the 2019–20 school year, we expect to serve more than 4,000 current and aspiring teachers across 19 campuses and 1,200 school leaders nationwide.
In total, our students will be impacting an estimated 400,000 PK-12 students.

Program Info

The Relay Teaching Residency is the best way to begin a career in teaching and earn while you learn. You’ll participate in a supportive preparation program, earn a teaching credential, complete a master’s degree, and get help finding a meaningful career in just two years — all at an extremely affordable price. We took everything that new teachers need and put it into one program when we designed the Relay Teaching Residency. The two-year program is delivered by outstanding faculty with successful records teaching in PK-12 classrooms whose main objective is to support you in becoming the teacher you want to be. They work tirelessly to ensure that that you are prepared to enter the classroom with confidence and that you secure a great teaching job. The program is designed to help you build skills gradually, beginning first as a teacher-in-residence supporting a lead classroom delivering parts of lessons until you are ready to instruct a whole class of students for extended periods of time. Once you successfully complete the first year of the program, you’ll receive support finding a position as a fully licensed lead teacher. Our focused deliberate practice approach is modeled after focused practice strategies concert musicians and professional athletes use to master skills. You’ll complete the program with two years of full-time work experience, a toolkit of professional skills, teaching certification, and a master’s degree in teaching.
