What if we stopped asking only "How do we get more teachers?" and started asking "How do we help them stay?" 💡

That's the thinking Kim Karacalidis brings to her work as Director of Partner Success at Relay.

As part of our Texas team, Kim encourages districts and charter networks to start with their end goal: educators who stick around and thrive in the communities they serve.

Then comes the important part: building pathways that make getting into teaching (and staying there!) more accessible, affordable, and sustainable.

👋 Meet Kim and hear her advice for building stronger teacher pathways.

How do you know a restaurant is actually good? Its dining room is full of regulars.

That’s pretty much how we measure our impact. With a 73% partner return rate, we know the work is landing. But what’s even better? Returning year after year means our facilitators can jump right in and build upon the momentum your team made last year.

You wrapped up a great PD session. Everyone's feeling inspired. 🙌

But what happens next?

That's the question Dani Rice wants more Texas district leaders to ask. And she's got some thoughts on why the answer matters.

👋 Meet Dani! She's part of Relay's Texas team, helping districts make sure professional learning doesn't end when everyone leaves the room.

Hear what she has to say! 🎥

What a difference a dedicated school community can make. 💙

Not long ago, families gathered in Minnequa Elementary's gym, fighting to keep their school open.

Today, that same gym welcomes school leaders eager to learn from the incredible work happening inside its classrooms.

We loved visiting Minnequa in Pueblo, Colorado, and meeting the educators who make this school such a special place.

The PD calendar is full. The sessions are scheduled.

But are they solving the right problems?

Before planning what's next, take a quick look at where your district is today—what's working, where implementation is getting stuck, and where teachers and leaders may need more support.

That binder collecting dust on the shelf? It's our worst nightmare. 😅

To make sure your PD investment makes it off the page and into the classroom, we design training that’s relevant, timely, and built around your team’s real-time needs. No fluff, no shelf-ware.

Funding is fuel. It isn't the GPS.

LASO can create new possibilities. But funding alone can't tell a district where it needs to go.

Where is your workforce pressure greatest? Who are you trying to prepare, support, or retain? What capacity do you already have? Where could a partner add something you don't?

The opportunity matters. What you build with it matters more.

A HUGE congratulations to the Trevista at Horace Mann community! 🎉💙

This Denver elementary school just earned the highest ELA growth in Colorado!

And behind that achievement? Years of hard work, dedicated educators, and a school community committed to helping every student thrive.

We loved getting to visit Trevista alongside Denver Public Schools leaders to see the incredible work happening firsthand.

👏 Help us celebrate Principal Jessica Mullins and the entire Trevista team!

Some of the most important seeds teachers plant take years to fully bloom.🌱

That's how first-grade teacher Olivia Holdcroft describes her work. And honestly? It's a pretty beautiful way to put it. 💛

From building trust with the quietest kids to celebrating the little moments when former students come back to say hello, Olivia reminds us that teaching is about so much more than what's in the lesson plan.

A few months ago, we shared a peek behind the scenes of our Atlanta shoot. Here’s one of the stories we captured.

🎥 Take a minute to check it out, it's a good one.

Teachers, what's a small moment that reminded you why you do what you do? We'd love to hear it! 💬
