• Master of Arts in Teaching

The Relay Master of Arts in Teaching gives you the tools to build your skills and teach with confidence, whether you're a beginner or a veteran.

Program Options

Program overview.

Relay’s Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program allows educators to expand their pedagogical knowledge and skills regardless of where they are in their careers. This program provides options for new teachers joining the profession for the first time and experienced educators who wish to expand their education and career.

“Relay is a hands-on program that aligns perfectly to teaching. I love attending Relay classes because I feel that they help me improve the way I teach, and my students benefit from it as a result.” — Kai Lee, MAT

Through the MAT program, you will:

• Work with expert faculty who have vast experience in education practice and theory.
• Be a part of a dedicated cohort where you can connect with peers on the same path.
• Get targeted, personal feedback from professors and peers.
• Experience authentic practice to develop your skills and confidence in the classroom.
• Learn proven teaching skills to improve student outcomes.
• Further develop your educator’s mindset to build a vibrant, learning-filled classroom.
• Develop pedagogical expertise in your chosen subject area.
• Learn strategies to support and educate the whole child.

Relay Master's Defense

As a part of the MAT program, all students will complete a capstone project and master’s defense. This conclusion to the program allows you to reflect on your evolution as a teacher and your students’ progress. You’ll graduate confident and ready to ensure all students in your classroom learn and grow, both academically and as individuals.

The Master of Arts in Teaching program at Relay has several options offered across the country. Most Relay MAT programs include prerequisites for earning a teaching certification or licensure. Learn more about our programs by location here .

MAT + Teaching Residency

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.

What you'll get

• Apprentice Year
• Teaching Certification

MAT - Degree Only

If you’re already a teacher and are not seeking certification, this track will allow you to complete your MAT with a combination of in-person and online courses. This degree program will bolster your pedagogical knowledge and skills needed to advance your career and improve student outcomes.

• Teaching Certification (as-needed)

MAT + Special Education Dual Certification

This program adds the Special Education Certification curriculum to the traditional MAT coursework, allowing new and experienced educators to complete their graduate degree and special education certifications simultaneously. The Special Education Certification program provides a foundation for teachers to support a wide range of learners and qualifies them to pursue roles available to special educators.

• Special Education Certification

Curriculum Highlights

Relay’s curriculum combines theory and experience, so you’ll not only have the foundational knowledge to transform your students’ lives, but also the practical skills you’ll need to build a strong classroom culture.

MAT Program Structure and Assignments

Assignments that leverage your current classroom to build authentic skills.

Our MAT curriculum is delivered in a hybrid format. The majority of assignments consist of video submissions of your teaching in action and your work samples (e.g., lesson plans) to give your professors an authentic representation of your classroom. MAT candidates set ambitious and attainable academic and career growth goals for students, track their progress, and analyze student performance to inform and adapt instruction.

This structure is designed to provide you with the opportunities for practice and individualized feedback you’ll need to nurture your skillset over time.

Educating All Students: Accommodations for Diverse Learners

At the heart of Relay’s culture and teaching is inclusivity. Throughout the two-year MAT program, you will learn to understand and respond to differences among your classroom learners. These intentional skills will help you identify and implement accommodations based on students’ needs and use the Universal Design for Learning to accommodate learner variability in group settings.

Relay offers a Special Education Certification program for teachers who would like to develop their skills to support students with exceptional needs after completing the MAT program. Learn more about Special Education Certification .

The Four Elements of Effective Instruction

Our MAT curriculum focuses on the Four Elements of Instruction:

• Building subject knowledge (content)
• Cultivating a fun and productive learning Environment (Classroom Culture)
• Developing personal connections with students and families, cultivation of self-reflection, and increasing community awareness (Self & Other People)
• Creating high-quality lessons (Teaching Cycle)

Year 1: Positive Culture, Foundational Skills, Supporting all learners, and State Certification

The first year in Relay’s MAT program focuses on fundamental skills every teacher needs, building positive classroom culture, and completing state certification (as needed). In your first year, you will learn:

• To build relationships with students, their families, and your colleagues
• To cultivate a positive classroom culture
• Teaching strategies specific to your chosen grade level and subject area
• Data-driven instruction techniques and methods to measure student progress and outcomes

Year 2: Culturally Responsive Teaching, Advanced Skills and Master’s Defense

The MAT program’s second year provides an in-depth exploration of lesson and unit planning and culminates in a capstone project and Masters’ Defense. Some highlights of your second year will include:

• Learning specific, proven techniques to build rigorous and joyful classrooms
• Exploring principles of culturally-responsive teaching
• Strategies for creating an inclusive environment for students of all backgrounds
• Completing your capstone project and Master’s Defense, where you will analyze students’ performance and growth
• Opportunities to reflect on your development as an educator.

What kinds of resources can I access through the Relay library? 

Through the Relay library, you have access to thousands of digital resources, including ebooks, journals, articles, videos, newspapers and magazines, worksheets, lesson plans, and other classroom and curriculum materials! You can access all of this and more through our website, relay.edu/library. 

Can I check out books? 

Students can access ebooks through the library search! Filter by "Full Text" to find ebooks. 

How do I contact the library? 

You can contact us via email at [email protected]; or you can ask a question using our 24/7 Ask A Librarian chat, which you can access through Canvas or using this link.  

Can I discuss my question with a librarian? 

You bet! We're happy to set up a meeting to talk about your research, discuss ways to be a more efficient researcher, review APA citation formatting, help you find materials for your classroom, and more! We're happy to meet with you online through video chat. You can email us at [email protected] to set up an appointment.

Why can't I access this resource? 

The answer to this question depends on a lot of things! Some basic troubleshooting tips: 

• It's possible that we don't have the particular book or article that you're looking for. If you've searched and the article is not showing up in the catalog, we may not have it; but if you don't need the material immediately, we may be able to request it for you via InterLibrary Loan.
• Check for typos! Sometimes our search takes things very literally - "To Kill a Mokcingbird" doesn't produce any results, while "To Kill a Mockingbird" provides over 2,000 results. 
• If you're having trouble accessing a particular website or database, try clearing cache and cookies ( learn how to do this here ). 
• If you're still having difficulty accessing a particular article or resource, send us an email at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do to get it for you! 

What are the library hours? 

During the school year, the library is staffed Monday-Thursday from 3-7pm and Saturdays from 9am-4pm. NOTE: Due to COVID-19, the New York campus library space is currently closed.

Can I have food/drink in the library? 

You can bring drinks in closed containers and dry snack foods - however, we ask that you keep any wet foods or open containers in the student pantry. Additionally, please consider your fellow library patrons before bringing snacks that are very loud or strong smelling. 

For how long can I check out books? 

You can check out books for 4 weeks! 

Will the library purchase a book for me? 

We're always happy to receive requests and recommendations for books to add to our collection! Whether or not we purchase the book will depend on several factors (such as the cost, whether it fits in with our collection, and whether we have similar books that cover the same topic). You can email your requests to us at [email protected]. If we are able to fulfill your request, we will send you a notification when the book has arrived. If not, we may be able to request the book for you via interlibrary loan or suggest alternatives.

Do you loan chargers/laptops/other? 

Students can borrow wall plugs and micro USB or lightning charging cables from the library; we also have headphones and ethernet cables available at the front desk. Unfortunately, we do not currently have laptops or laptop chargers to loan. 

What materials are available in the resource room? 

We have most basic office supplies (pens and pencils, colored pencils, crayons, chart and whiteboard markers, paper, cardstock, paper clips, staplers, tape, 3-hole punch, etc.). We also have a printer/copy machine; a laminator; a comb binder; and die cut machines, all available for students to use for free at any time.
