Instructure and Jazz Educator Awards

Instructure will once again be partnering with the Utah Jazz to recognize Utah teachers and all they are doing for our kids and communities. This program recognizes teachers that go above and beyond everyday to engage kids’ curiosity and show them just how fun learning can be.  

Through the Most Valuable Educators program, Instructure will recognize 14 educators during 14 home games throughout the 2022-23 Jazz regular season. The first recipient will be honored on November 18 at Vivint Arena. Each honored educator will be guests of Instructure at the game and receive a personalized Jazz jersey. In addition, they will receive a $1,000 classroom grant courtesy of Instructure and a surprise classroom visit or organized assembly involving the Jazz Bear mascot and personnel from the Utah Jazz and Instructure.

Nominations are now being accepted on the Utah Jazz website at www.utahjazz.com/MVE from anyone in the local community including students, parents, peer educators, principals, administrators and college deans to honor the best K-12 and higher education educators in Utah. Nominators will be asked to answer, “How does this educator inspire students, spark curiosity and support student growth and achievement?”

As part of its expression of gratitude for local educators, Instructure will also be providing 300 tickets for Utah educators to attend the Jazz game on March 18, 2023. Throughout the game night, Utah educators will be recognized for their work in the community and given the opportunity to participate in various arena activities. In addition, attending fans will be able to write their own messages of gratitude for local educators.

All 14 honorees of the Most Valuable Educators program presented by Instructure will be invited to attend an awards dinner with the Utah Jazz and Instructure at the end of the season.
