The Partnership Process
Relay partners with organizations across the country to ensure their school and system leaders have the practical support they need to create responsive, effective schools.
Working hand-in-hand
At Relay, we care deeply about finding the right professional learning opportunity for every leader. We work closely with schools, systems, and other organizations to ensure our programs are the right fit for your goals, support you as you select leaders, and provide data and guidance as leaders progress through the programs.
Schedule a call
If you are new to Relay, we would like to discuss your goals, learn about your leaders, and answer your questions. Fill out the interest form to set up a time to speak with the Leadership Programs team. If you are a past Relay partner, you may skip to step 2.
Request seats
After the initial call or if you are a past partner of Relay, you may request seats in our programs. We allocate seats on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to other factors (like keeping school teams together, creating balanced cohorts, etc). You may also select summer intensive cohorts (June or July) in this step. You may choose to identify specific leader participants at this stage or later.
