Travel There to Teach it Here

Driven 2 Teach 2023

The Driven 2 Teach program is taking History teachers out of the classroom and to the very places where history happened. Open to Utah educators, grades 5-12, who specialize in American History or historical literature, the Driven 2 Teach program gives teachers an extended, hands-on learning experience unlike any other—at no cost to the teachers or the schools.
IMPORTANT NEWS FOR 2023: Due to COVID 19 and the fact that we were unable to travel in 2020-2022, the teachers who were accepted in 2020 who are still teaching will be traveling in 2023. There will be no new applications. New applications will be opened next Fall in 2023.

What are People Saying

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.
