Securing a program-aligned instructional role is a requirement to enroll in Relay’s teacher programs. In Washington, DC, the following roles are program-aligned:

Residency - Through the Relay Teaching Residency, talented and committed aspiring educators can launch a fulfilling career in teaching. The Residency provides a gradual on-ramp to teaching, as residents spend a full year embedded in the classroom of a Mentor Teacher before leading their own classroom in the second year. Through the Residency, Relay students will learn from experienced faculty and a network of peers, while earning a salary, a master’s degree, and/or teacher licensure. Program-aligned job titles for the Residency include Teaching Resident.

Most of our partners are ready to hire now! Feel free to reach out to any of the schools listed below to inquire about open residency positions.
