The Teacher's Manual is designed for schools with a daily religion class. Parishes or schools that only have religion class once a week should use the Parish Catechist Manual instead of the Teacher's Manual. Both are spiral bound.
The Faith and Life Third Edition Teacher's Manual has a consistent and easy to use layout for daily lesson preparation and classroom instruction. Lesson sections for Aims, Materials, Begin, Develop, Reinforce and Conclude are combined with the inserted student text, highlighted for the area relating to the lesson of the day.
Additional features may include the saint for the day, a chalk talk or suggested activity.
It also contains quizzes, tests and answer keys (which can also be downloaded on the Faith and Life website) for student assessment. Each book is spiral bound so it stays open to the lesson of the day. From lesson planning to student assessment, the Faith and Life Teacher's Manual is a real asset.
