1. Learners at the center of the curriculum

1. Learners at the center of the curriculum

The learners are the very reason a curriculum is developed. They are the ones who are directly influenced by it. Primary stakeholders. The direct beneficiary of the curriculum implementation. Upon them lie the success or failure of the curriculum.

The role of students as stakeholders from a student’s point of view:

“ I consider the learner as the center of the educational process. Everything in the curriculum should revolve around his/her interests, needs, abilities, and capacities.”- Josefa

“ In the selection of subject matter, the needs of the individual learner should received proper emphasis. The course of study must be organized around the changing nature and development needs within the cultural context of the learners.”- Venus

The role of students as stakeholders from a student’s point of view:

“ Learners or student are the very reason why school exist. It is the school’ responsibility to further develop the learners’ knowledge, skills, talents and attitude to face the different situations in life.”- Monique

Take Note: The universal and individual characteristics of the learners should be considered in implementation of any curriculum.

Age, gender, physical, mental, emotional development, cultural background, interests, aspirations and personal goals.

Teachers as :

A Teacher : as a curriculum maker, he/she writes a curriculum daily through a lesson plan , a unit plan or a yearly plan. The teacher addresses the goals, needs, interests of the learners by creating experiences from where the students can learn. The teacher designs, enriches and modifies the curriculum to suit the learner’s characteristics.

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.

A Teacher :

as a curriculum implementer , which of 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.

A Student’s view about the teacher as a curriculum maker and implementer

“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 teaches in curriculum implementation”- Marianna

3. Curriculum Managers and Administrators

3. Curriculum Managers and Administrators

Functions of the school principal as a curriculum manager: supervise curriculum implementation, select and recruit new teachers, admit students, procure equipment and materials needed for effective learning. plan for the improvement of school facilities and physical plants.

Why are school administrators and curriculum managers important to curriculum implementation?

“ The school administrators play an important role in shaping the school curriculum because they are the people who are responsible in the formulation of the schools’ vision, philosophy, mission and objectives. They provide necessary leadership in evaluating teaching personnel and school program. Keeping records of curriculum and reporting learning outcomes are also the manager’s responsibilities”.- Ceres

4. Parents as supporters to the curriculum

4. Parents as supporters to the curriculum“My child and my money goes to this school”, reads a car sticker.

What is the implication of this statement to the school curriculum? It simply means that the parents are the best supporters of the school, especially because they are the ones paying for their child’s education. Parents would be willing to pay the cost of educating their child for as long as their children get the best learning or schooling experiences.

How do parents shape the curriculum and why are they considered stakeholders? Here are some observations:1. Effective parental involvement in school affairs

may be linked to parent educational programs which is central to high quality educational experiences of the children.

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

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

5. COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS CURRICULUM RESOURCES

The success in the implementation of the curriculum requires resources. However, most often teachers complain that resources are very scarce. There are no books, materials nor facilities available. These are the usual complaints of the teachers. The community members and materials in the local community can very well substitute for what are needed to implement.

5. COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS CURRICULUM RESOURCES

Professional organizations have shown great influence in school curriculum. They are being asked by curriculum specialists to contribute in curriculum review because they have a voice in licensure examinations and curriculum enhancement i.e. teachers organization, lawyers organization etc.
