A teacher must first be a learner and a scholar, because the pupil is not above his teacher, for everyone after he is fully trained will be like his teacher. The classroom teacher will find the subject curriculum guides and grade-level guidelines complete, and, used with the tools provided, practical and easily applied.

Other valuable tools are available for use in schools - The School Resource Guide, Christian History Study Group Packet, Beginnings in the Principle Approach , in addition to the study guides to the basic volumes.
