Programs for Teachers

Relay's Teacher Prep Programs equip teachers with proven strategies that allow them to build confidence and improve student outcomes.  Relay Teachers emerge with the skills needed to embark on careers as highly effective educators prepared to meet the demands of this generation's children. Our programs are more than a credential. They're a catalyst for transformative change in education and entry into a national community of empowered Relay educators. 

Master of Arts in Teaching

Relay’s Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program gives teachers the opportunity to earn their graduate degree and the credentials they need to launch or advance their careers. Aspiring teachers can enroll in a residency program that includes an apprentice year and opportunities to earn a teaching certification and an optional special education certification, while current teachers can opt to earn their master’s degree with or without special education certification. We offer options that meet all teachers' needs.
