About The Position
The Uncommon Schools-Relay GSE Teaching Residency offers aspiring educators a unique opportunity to receive high-quality teacher training while gradually taking on more teaching responsibility. This two-year residency, a partnership between Relay Graduate School of Education (Relay GSE) and select partner schools, is designed specifically for recent college graduates and career changers who are looking for an innovative pathway into the teaching profession. The program is a proud member of the AmeriCorps National Service Network, providing participants with a structured and supportive environment to develop their teaching skills. In the first year of the Residency, participants will be hired to work full-time as Residents at Uncommon Schools - Rochester Prep, where they will help increase student achievement and maintain and support school-level systems. Residents will receive weekly Deliberate Practice sessions from Relay GSE's expert faculty and additional training in proven, powerful teaching techniques. As their skills and confidence develop, Residents will gradually take on more teaching responsibilities throughout the first academic year. After completing the first year, Residents will transition into a full-time teaching position at a Uncommon Schools campus in their second year, continuing to receive coaching and support as they serve as the teacher of record. Throughout the two-year program, Residents will be enrolled as graduate students at Relay GSE, taking Masters-level courses that complement their roles as new teachers. The curriculum is designed to teach new educators how to manifest high behavioral and academic expectations, develop rigorous, data-driven lessons, and care deeply for their students. Successful graduates of the Residency will receive their master's degree and teaching certification from Relay GSE after the second year of the program. Upon completion, Residents will demonstrate pedagogical mastery and have a clear pathway into a job, receiving a full-time salary and benefits for the duration of the program.
