One of the goals of the education program at the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum is to provide educators with easy access to archival materials and ensure that they have the tools to effectively incorporate these primary sources into their classroom. Whether a new teacher designing your first lesson plans or a veteran teacher seeking to supplement existing curriculum, the Library and Museum strives to provide Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) aligned resources that highlight specific topics and empower teachers.
