We are saddened to hear of David McCullough’s passing. His work inspired and brought history to millions of Americans. He also played an instrumental role in the Larry H. Miller Driven 2 Teach program.
The Driven 2 Teach program started as a conversation between Larry H. Miller and American author and historian David McCullough in 2007. The two shared their passion for history and concern over how to foster better teaching and more significant learning in the classroom setting. To date, Driven 2 Teach has helped over 800 teachers throughout Utah.
“To me, history ought to be a source of pleasure. It isn’t just part of our civic responsibility. To me, it’s an enlargement of the experience of being alive, just the way literature or art or music is.” – David McCullough

This seminar will explore the founding generations and founding principles of the United States as seen through the lenses of religion, ethnicity, and slavery in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The Field Study will take place in Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. It will communicate an understanding that the Mid-Atlantic can be considered one region in the colonial, Revolutionary, and early national periods.

I would not have been able to go visit these historical sites on my own. This was a chance of a lifetime. I’ve seen the sites, I have felt the passion, and I have seen that men and women who were ordinary citizens felt passionate about something and they changed everything.
It was AMAZING! I learned so much and can't wait to get back in the classroom and teach it. Thank you so much to the Larry H. Miller Group and Zion’s Bank.
What an incredible program for teachers. I loved it and learned SO much. I have been able to use much of what I learned in my classes this past year — truly an amazing opportunity!
