Securing a program-aligned instructional role is a requirement to enroll in Relay’s teacher programs. In New York, the following roles are program-aligned:
NY Teacher Pathway - Through the Relay NY Teacher Pathway, talented and committed aspiring educators can launch a fulfilling career in teaching. The NY Teacher Pathway provides a gradual on-ramp to teaching, as candidates spend a full year embedded in the classroom of a Mentor Teacher before leading their own classroom in the second year. Through the NY Teacher Pathway, 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 NY Teacher Pathway include Apprentice Teacher, Paraprofessional, and Co-Teacher.
Teacher of Record Pathway - Relay offers programs that are designed to support educators in the field through graduate coursework and clinical experiences, with observation and feedback from Relay faculty with deep teaching experience. Through coursework, clinical experiences, and the support of Relay faculty and a school-based mentor teacher, Relay students will lead their own classrooms and develop the skills needed to help all children grow. They will also receive coaching and support from our team of experienced faculty to help them prepare for state certification exams. Program-aligned job titles for the Teacher of Record Pathway include Teacher of Record/Lead Teacher.

Teach For America
Relay Graduate School of Education has a national partnership with Teach For America (TFA), a non-profit teacher recruiting, leadership development, and teacher preparation pathway organization. Teach For America recruits outstanding and diverse leaders to become TFA “corps members.” Corps members commit to teaching for two years in a low-income community, where they’re employed by local schools and confront both the challenges and joys of expanding opportunities for kids. After two years, they become part of the TFA alumni network. Informed and inspired by their students, many continue teaching; others pursue other leadership roles in schools and school systems or launch careers in other fields that shape educational access and opportunity.
Relay Graduate School of Education and Teach For America share a vision for outstanding educators in schools across the country. To that end, Relay and TFA have been working together to prepare teachers for several years in many of our locations. TFA corps members enroll in Relay’s programs to seek their certification/licensure as well as degrees to further their commitment to education and making a difference in their communities.
If you are interested in becoming a TFA Corps Member, visit the TFA website to learn more about the application process.
