Curriculum Support
High Quality Instructional Materials Matter.
Research shows High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) are the single most effective lever in driving student outcomes. HQIM is also associated with less stress for teachers and reducing inequities for students of color and other historically marginalized students.

Our proven track record of expertise lies in:
- Making complex teaching skills actionable

I had 3 days of training last school year and did not understand one thing about the curriculum until [Relay] worked with us!
Curricula We Support
Relay can support a variety of highly-regarded, in-demand curricula. Contact us for more information.
[Relay’s support] was very well organized.... I enjoyed that we really focused on why we are doing what we are doing in our lessons. The more I work and learn about Wit and Wisdom the more I feel capable of teaching it.
