Community as the Curriculum Resources and a Learning Environment

"It takes the whole village to educate the child."

- Former First Lady Hillary Clinton
The school composed of parents who are positively involved in school activities have
better achievement than schools with uninvolved parents. Disciplinary problems are
minimal, and students are highly motivated. When parents take interest in their child's
learning, they become closer to the school.

The home is the extended school environment. In lifelong learning, the achieved
learning in schools are transferred at home. thus, the home becomes the laboratory of
learning. Parents see to it that what children learn in school are practiced at home. they
follow up lessons, they make available materials for learning and they give permission
for the participation of their children.

In most schools, parents associations are organized. This is being encouraged in

School Based Management. In some cases, this organization also include teachers to
expand the school learning community. Many school projects and activities are
supported by this organization. This is considered as the best practice in most
performing schools.
They should understand fully the need for change and the implementation process.
They should be ready to assist the teachers and the students in the implementation.
Communication line should be open to all concerned school leaders a leas in curriculum
teamwork.

Convincing the parents on the merits of the new curriculum is the job of the school
leads. They should be committed to change and should employ strategies to meet the
needs of the teachers and learners like buildings, books, library, and other needed
resources.

A school curriculum, whether big or small are influenced by many stakeholders. Each
one has a contribution and influence in what should replace, modify, substitute the
current curriculum. Each one has a significant mark in specific development and change
process of curriculum development.

Schools need to listen to parents' concerns about school curriculum like textbooks,
school activities, grading systems and others. Schools have one way of engaging
parents cooperation through Brigada Eskwela. In this event, parents will be able to
know the situation in the school. Most often parents volunteer to help. They can also be
tapped in various co-curricular activities.

Parents may not directly be involved in curriculum implementation, but they are
formidable partners for the success of any curriculum development endeavor.

HOW DO PARENTS HELP SHAPE THE CURRICULUM IN SCHOOLS?

Teachers are the stakeholders who plan, design, teachers, implement and evaluate the
curriculum. No doubt, the most important person in curriculum implementation is the
teacher. Teachers' influence upon learners cannot be measured. Teachers should have
full knowledge of the program philosophy, content and components of curriculum and
ways of teaching.

Other stakeholders in Curriculum Implementation and Development

Learners are at the core of the curriculum

It is the bigger school community that becomes the venue of learning. The rich natural
and human resources of the community can assist in educating the children. The
community is the reflection of the school's influence and the school is a reflection of the
community support.

It is true that the school is in the community, hence the community is the extended
school ground, a learning environment. All the barangay leaders, the elders, others
citizens and residents of the community have a stake in the curriculum.

Some of the roles that the teachers do in curriculum implementation are:

CHOOSING THE MATERIALS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE ACTIVITY

GUIDING, FACILITATING AND DIRECTING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE LEARNERS

When a curriculum has already been written,he teacher's role is to implement like a
technician, however, teachers are reflective persons. they put their hearts into what they
do. they are very mindful that in the center of everything they do, is the learner.

A teacher design, enriches and modifies the curriculum to suit the learners'
characteristics. As curriculum developers, teachers are part of textbook committees,
teacher selection, school evaluation committee or textbooks and module writers
themselves.

CHOOSING THE ACTIVITIES AND THE METHODS TO BE UTILIZED

The teacher has a great stake in the curriculum. Curriculum planning, designing and
implementing are in the hands of a good teacher. In the educational setting, it is clear
that the teacher has a very significant role in curriculum development.

Learners have more dynamic participation from the planning, designing, implementing
and evaluating. However, the degree of their involvement is dependent on their
maturity. the older they are in high school or college, the more they participate. From
another angle, whether learners are in the elementary or college level, they can make or
break curriculum implementation by their active or non-involvement. Afterall, learners
together with the teachers, place action to the curriculum.

Why do curricularists place a lot of premium on the students?

It is because, the learners make the curriculum alive. A written curriculum that does not
consider the students, will have a little chance to succeed.
At the end f the curriculum development process, the fundamental question asked is:
Have the students learned?
