How has Relay helped you to become a more impactful teacher?

Relay has greatly improved my content instruction as well as my classroom management. I’m especially grateful for the expertise and modeling provided by my core Professors (Professor Armstrong and Professor Baldwin), as well as my social studies content instructor (Professor Tart). I am particularly excited about garnering skills for utilizing data to inform instruction and skills that help my students become socially cognizant and responsible citizens.

What’s one word that you would use to describe being a teacher?
