Field Study

The goal of Driven to Teach is to make American history come alive in the classroom by taking Utah public school teachers to important historical sites. The hands-on seminars are designed to inform, inspire, and support excellent classroom teaching.

If you are a passionate teacher that really wants to help your students understand the significance of our past and how it applies to our future, we want to hear from you.

Hello all!

The Utah Council for the Social Studies is hosting their 2nd annual "Morning at the Movies". On January 14, 10:00 a.m. at Jordan Commons we are showing The War Horse, which is a story set during WWI. Directed by Steven Spielberg, it has gotten great reviews and should be a good experience for teachers. The movie will be preceeded by a short discussion on WWI by John Reid of the U of U. Concessions will be open and popcorn, drinks, candy and etc. can be purchased.

If UCSS members want to attend, they should email Dawn at dlhauser@graniteschools.org to hold tickets. Each member gets 2 free tickets. All others can send $5 per ticket to Dawn and pick them up outside the theatre.

Hope to see lots of you there!
