Noble-Relay Teaching Residency - A Pathway to a Noble Profession

The Noble-Relay Teaching Residency, run in partnership between the Noble Network of Charter Schools and Relay Graduate School of Education*, offers Noble alumni a unique opportunity to become Noble teachers through a prestigious fellowship and graduate school program. As a Resident, you’ll be hired to work full-time at Noble and you’ll spend four days a week supporting a veteran Noble teacher and gradually taking on teaching responsibilities as your skills develop. Throughout the program, you’ll spend one day a week receiving training and learning how to teach through Relay’s unique Master’s degree program. 

Successful graduates of the Noble-Relay Teaching Residency will transition into full-time teaching positions at Noble after their year of residency and they’ll be one year away from receiving a Master’s degree and teaching certification from Relay.
