The Catholic Youth Bible Teacher Guide

please note

To ensure our Teacher Guides are used to assist teachers, and do not become a resource for the students, it is Saint Mary’s Press’ policy to only ship this Teacher Guide to a school. If you would like a copy shipped to a location other than a school, or would like to receive a review copy, please contact our customer care department.

Both the Old Testament and the New Testament teacher guides for The Catholic Youth Bible® are designed as semester-long courses for freshmen or sophomores. The guides utilize the principles of Understanding by Design to lead students to a deep understanding of key concepts.

Each unit includes:

• a unit overview.
• key understandings and questions.
• creative final performance task assessments.
• the suggested path to understanding.
• a list of biblical chapters or verses utilized in the lesson.
• vocabulary.
• learning experiences, handouts, and assessments.

This Old Testament teacher guide features these units:

• Introduction to the Scriptures.
• Genesis.
• Exodus.
• Historical Books (Joshua and Judges).
• Historical Books (1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings).
• Prophets.
