There are so many things I have learned from Relay, I can’t even name them all! But some that come to mind are classroom management, lesson planning (how to create an effective lesson, check for understanding, create a unit plan, and more), culturally responsive teaching, and how to build great relationships with kids. We learned about the importance of reflecting on your own practice to get better day by day. At Relay, we follow a cycle - teach, practice and get feedback to do better next time. You’re not learning something and then putting it on a paper. You’re actually living it in the classroom.
