Teacher Education Resources

This guide is intended to support Teacher Educators by providing resources to stay current in their field, inspire their work, and support their professional development.

Why Video?

Relay’s vision is to build a more just world where every student has access to outstanding educators and a clear path to a fulfilling life. A core element of our approach is the use of video clips that demonstrate effective teaching practices in action, allowing teachers to critically reflect on practice and build their own teaching skills. This approach aligns with decades of research demonstrating the effectiveness of video-based learning to enhance educators' professional development (Baecher et al., 2018).

Relay's Video Library

Relay’s Video Library currently includes over 3,400 high-quality videos that demonstrate rigorous instruction and culturally responsive and inclusive teaching practices. A robust tagging system enables efficient navigation of the video library, allowing teachers to readily locate video clips that directly address specific teaching competencies aligned with Relay's curriculum and with frameworks such as Universal Design for Learning and the Danielson Framework for Teaching. Video clips are moderated on an ongoing basis through both automated processes and manual review by a faculty committee, ensuring that the video library stays aligned to the evolving needs of Relay's curriculum and represents up-to-date best practices within the field.
