Washington DC

The Relay Washington DC Approach

Since Relay Washington DC opened its doors to both aspiring and experienced teachers in summer 2017, we have graduated over 300 teachers. We are proud of the work that our faculty have done with teachers to support their development both in and out of the classroom, as we have invested in the social-emotional health and wellbeing of our graduate students. Relay DC had a partnership with doctors at Georgetown’s MedStart program to make sure that teachers are taking care of themselves both in and out of the classroom. Early Childhood Education is the most popular content area at Relay Washington DC; we have graduated a high number of teachers who work with our youngest learners.

Faculty

Relay has nearly 200 experienced, supportive faculty across our campuses. Here is one example of a faculty member who teaches and advises our DC students:

Chevon Boone teaches the Applications of Effective Teaching fall and spring courses. She is a former secondary ELA teacher, instructional coach, and curriculum designer with 10 years of experience with supporting new teachers. Chevon’s doctoral thesis focuses on best practices to increase teacher retention in urban schools. She has a passion for amplifying the voices of historically marginalized communities and challenging inequitable systems impacting those communities.
