Theodore Roosevelt

TEACHER INTRODUCTION TO A PRESIDENT’S VISION

An innovative suite of U.S. history curriculum materials, A President's Vision examines the aspirations of notable U.S. presidents and the programs and initiatives that advanced each man’s vision.

The centerpiece of the program is a series of seven posters examining the vision that shaped the presidencies of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Ronald Reagan. More than simply a summary of the president’s time in office, each poster identifies the president’s vision of his presidency—the “big idea” that guided his actions and decisions in office. The documents, photographs, works of art, and other primary sources featured on each poster illustrate the enactment of his vision.

Full-size, high-resolution digital files of the posters are available now on the President’s Vision website for download: www.presidentsvision.org
