Planning and writing the curriculum are the primary roles of the teacher.

Teachers as Curriculum Developers and Implementers

Prepares and implements the day to day activities in school.

He/she writes a curriculum daily through a lesson plan , a unit plan or a

yearly plan.

As a curriculum developer

Part of textbooks committees, faculty selection boards, school evaluation committee or textbook writers themselves. Empowered to develop their own school curricula. And they become architect of the school curriculum.

As a curriculum implementer

the plans should be put in to action and how should it be done and what are the decisions

teachers should make. Curriculum implementation is now giving life to the written material. Guiding, facilitating

and directing activities which will be done by the students.

“Teachers shape the school curriculum by sharing the experiences that they

have and the resources they are capable of giving or imparting to the learners. But as the old saying goes ,

”What can you give if you have nothing to give? Applies to this demand of

teachers in curriculum implementation”- Marianna

Parents as supporters to the curriculum

My child

My childAnd my money

goes to this school

What is the implication of this statement to the school curriculum?

How do parents shape the curriculum and why are they considered stakeholders?

Here are some observations:

In most schools the Parent Association is organized. This organization is provided by law.

Effective parental involvement in school affairs may be linked to parent educational programs which is central to high quality educational experiences of the children.

The parents involvement extends from the confine of the school to the homes. The parents become part of the environment of learning at home.
