The Relay Teacher Pathways program, an initiative of Relay Graduate School of Education, is a teacher development center that offers unique teaching programs for undergraduate and graduate students to explore the teaching profession and develop as a new generation of transforming teachers. Relay Graduate School of Education is a national, accredited, nonprofit institution of higher education whose 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. A Relay master’s degree signifies more than a theoretical understanding of education. Relay’s programs focus on building in teachers a set of techniques that make the deepest impact in urban classrooms with diverse populations of students. During the two-year Teaching Residency program, Residents experience a structured and gradual on-ramp into the profession, complete a master’s degree, earn a Texas standard certificate (if qualified) and obtain a full-time teaching position at a district or charter school in Dallas-Fort Worth.
