To Train a Teacher

The New York Times:

This summer, the Relay Graduate School of Education will open as New York’s first standalone college of teacher preparation in nearly a century. Relay is being created out of Teacher U, a program within Hunter College and one of the many new models that have gained traction around the country. Relay preaches the practical over the theoretical — and will have no traditional courses, no campus, no lectures — all with the end goal of changing the way teachers in this country are taught.
