Future Goals Most Valuable Teacher Program presented by SAP

Teachers are one of the most important influences in a child’s life. Hard-working, dedicated teachers not only educate students, but they also help instill values, build character, and shape future generations of smart, responsible citizens. The NHL, NHLPA, and SAP salute teachers and recognize the important role they play in our communities.

For the fourth year, the NHL & NHLPA launched the Future Goals Most Valuable Teacher Program presented by SAP, which will celebrate 80 dynamic Future Goals teachers from January through April across North America before public voting narrows the field to four finalists. Voting for the finalists will take place from May 8 through May12, and culminate with the crowning of the Future Goals Most Valuable Teacher of the Year presented by SAP. Website link: www.

SAP, the program presenter, will once again support the program and STEM education with a gift of $10,000 USD towards Environmental Sustainability Resources for each respective January, February, March and April Monthly Prize Winners' school district and an additional $20,000 USD for the final Most Valuable Teacher of the Year’s school district also towards Environmental Sustainability Resources ($60,000 USD in total).

We are recognizing 80 teachers (20 per month over four months).
