What is it?
In 2007, Larry H. Miller had a conversation with the author and histrian David McCullough about their passion for American history and education, and a shared concern over how to foster better teaching and greater learning in the classroom. That inspired dialogue would ultimately lead Larry Miller to develop the Driven 2 Teach program—which takes teachers out of the classroom and to the very places where history happened. Taking them there so that they can teach it here.
The Driven 2 Teach program gives teachers an extended, hands-on learning experience unlike any other—at no cost to the teachers or the school.
