The teaching pedagogy, techniques, and strategies taught at Relay are designed to foster growth and achievement in PK–12 students. Students’ assessments mirror, to the greatest extent possible, the kinds of tasks that great teachers do as a part of their day-to-day work. These assessments are designed to help students meaningfully improve their practice and lead their PK–12 students to measurable academic gains and character growth. Relay assigns both smaller written assessments and larger portfolio-based performance assessments.
