ImplementationPrepared By:

Meaning of Stakeholders• Stakeholders are

individuals or institutions that are interested in the school curriculum.

Stakeholders in Implementation of the

Curriculum1. Learners at the Center of

the CurriculumFor a particular

curriculum design mentioned earlier, the learner is placed at the center.

The learners are the very reason why curriculum is developed.

Learners at the Center of the Curriculum

They are the ones whoare directly influenced byit.

After all, in curriculum implementation, the concluding question will always be:

Has the learner learned?

Example of Learners at the Center of Curriculum

• I consider the learner as the center of the education process. Everything in the curriculum should revolve around his/her interest, needs, abilities, and capabilities. The nature of the learner must be made the science of learning. The experiences of the learners must be the starting point in accomplishing the goals of education, to let them grow in knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes.

Josefa

Example of Learners at the Center of Curriculum

• ‘‘Learners or students are the very reason why schools exist. It is the school’ responsibility to further develop the learners’ knowledge, skills, talents and attitude to face the different situations in life. It is through a responsive curriculum that these things can be achieved. A curriculum is effective if it enables all learners to relate the different school experience to their lives.’’

Monique


• It can be the gleaned that the learners are the primary stakeholders in the curriculum.

• The success of the curriculum can only

be measured by the extent of learning

that he learners have achieved.

…..therefore, a fit between the

planned or written curriculum and the

characteristics of the learner will

guarantee success in education.


Curriculum2. Teachers as Curriculum

Developers and Implementers

In teaching and learning process, the other side of the coin is the teacher.Most curricula start to gain life from the time it is conceived and written.

Teachers as Curriculum Developers and Implementers

Writing

Planning

Primary Role of the

Teacher

A teacher is a curriculum maker. He/she writes a curriculum daily through a lesson

plan, a unit plan or a yearly plan.

Teachers as Curriculum Developers and Implementers• The teacher prepares activities

for the students to do.• The teacher address 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…


• Teachers are empowered to develop their own school curricula taking into consideration their own expertise, the context of the school and the abilities of the learners.

…. By so doing, teachers become architects of school curriculum


• A developed curriculum remains enactive, if it is not implemented.

…teacher role’s shifts from a developer to an implementer.

…from a designer or technician to a decision maker.


• Curriculum implementation is now giving life to written materials. To do this, there is need of another actor, the learners.

• No curriculum will succeed without the learners.


• The teachers’ role now shifts from planning to doing.

• Doing here implies guiding, facilitating and directing activities which will be done by the students.


• The teachers’ role as an implementer is very crucial. Oftentimes, unsuccessful implementation of the curriculum becomes the root of educational failure, thus some would say that the root of the educational problem is the teacher.

Views of students about the teacher as 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 the demand of teaches in curriculum implementation.

-Marianna

Teachers as Curriculum Developers and Implementers• Although educational theorist and

practitioners are giving value the idea of independent learning and learning how to learn, the role of the teacher in curriculum implementation has never diminished.

• No technology can ever replace a teacher, it will only support the multifaceted role of the teacher.


Curriculum3.Curriculum Managers and AdministratorsIn a school organization, there is always a curriculum manager or school administrator.

In fact, for school principals, one of their functions is being a curriculum manager.

Curriculum Managers and Administrators

Supervise curriculum implementation

Select and recruit new teacher

Admit students

Procedure equipment and material needed for effective teaching

They also 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 school’s vision, philosophy, mission and objectives. They provide necessary leadership in evaluating teaching personnel and school program. Keeping records of curriculum and reporting outcomes are also the managers’ responsibilities.

- Ceres


• Indeed the role of the administrators can never be ignored. The principle of command responsibility and institutional leadership rests on the shoulders of the school administrators.


• The final decision making in terms of the school’s purpose rests on the shoulders of school administrators.

• In the academic institutions, school administrators have a great stake or concern about what kind of curriculum their school offer and how these is implemented.


Curriculum4. Parents as supporters to the curriculum

school affairs may be linked to parent educational programs w/c is central to high quality educational experiences of the children. It is a well known fact that where you find an involved parent, you find better communication between home and school.

Curriculum5. Community Members as Curriculum Resources
