Congratulations to the 
2026 Future Goals™ 
Most Valuable Teacher of the Year

Scott teaches 1st – 5th grade Physical Education (“PE”) at Oakstead Elementary School and has been a teacher for 10 years. He teaches Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (“STEM”) topics by helping students explore force, motion, balance, and trajectory through movement-based activities and skill challenges. His lessons encourage problem-solving and spatial reasoning through hands-on exploration. Scott also teaches ball hockey fundamentals through structured drills, partner work, and skill progressions that build dribbling, passing, and shooting abilities. Outside of the classroom, Scott hosts an annual ball hockey tournament in honor of a former student who passed away from cancer and creates innovative lessons and videos to help students and their families stay active and connected beyond the school day.

As the winner of the Future Goals™ Most Valuable Teacher of the Year, Scott has received a trip to an NHL event! 

We thank all of the teachers who participated in this year’s Future Goals™ Most Valuable Teacher! We are grateful for your dedication and commitment.
