Those new to the teaching profession find Relay’s flagship MAT with a Teaching Residency program incredibly helpful. Not only will you learn from seasoned professionals as you complete your graduate degree coursework, but you will also earn a teaching certification and have an apprentice year where you will get hands-on classroom experience. This gradual on-ramp towards teaching and managing your classroom will give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to excel as a teacher of record.

Participants will work full time in an aligned school-based position while gradually taking on more responsibilities under the guidance of a mentor teacher. At the end of their program, they will be eligible to apply for a Colorado teaching license.
