Gifts of State – Professional Development

George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum
College Station, TX

Jennifer Gaona, a well-established leader of curriculum, presents for educators the ins and outs of the "Gifts of State" Premier Program for elementary and secondary students. Gifts of State challenges students to look, according to their grade level, at maps and analyze the social, economic, and political implications of state gifts.

Gifts of State is a student-centric K-12 program. Students have the chance to analyze gifts that were given to President Bush during his time as President, then they have the chance to design their own gift for another country.
