In a landmark partnership, ETR/HealthSmart and OPEN (Opens in new tab) (Opens in new tab)/US Games (Opens in new tab) (Opens in new tab) are proud to announce their new sponsorship of the prestigious State Teacher of the Year program. This collaboration is set to support state health and physical education associations and enrich the state programs by providing additional resources and recognition for the exceptional educators who are shaping the future of education in the United States.

ETR is the proprietor of HealthSmart, a K-12, skills-based education program that empowers students to think, choose, and act in healthy ways and maintain healthy behaviors needed for school success. OPEN/US Games provides free high-quality curriculum to every school for equitable access to physical education. In addition, the partnership lets them provide an Open Power discount on equipment sold by US Games.

The Teacher of the Year program has a long history, and this partnership will further the impact in the educational community.
