Early Years teachers don’t need to know much. Secondary teachers need to know the most.

4. Don’t teach something that has to be untaught later.

5. I need to teach Scripture the way I was taught.

6. The question is not, Did this really happen?
The question is What does this mean?

7. I don’t need to read the background information/commentary.

8. Catholics don’t read scripture literally.
Context/Text Model

9. The Old Testament is not as relevant to us as the New Testament
