SELF CHECK

I am a Teacher! Who Am I as a Curricularist?

Instruction: identify who am I as a Curricularist based on the cases presented.

Case 1: I have a good idea on how to make my learners pay attention to the lesson. I will
use the new idea and find out if it will work. Who am I as a curricularist?

Case 2: DepEd sent the standards, competencies and guidelines in teaching the Mother
Tongue in Grade 1 in our school. I will study and use it in the coming school year. Who am
I as a curricularist?

Case 3: There is so much to do in one school day. I seem not be able to do all, but I have to
accomplish something for my learners. I have made a daily activity plan to guide me. Who
am I as a curricularist?

Case 4: I need a poem to celebrate the World Teachers Day. I composed one to be used in
my class in Literature. Who am I as a curricularist?

Case 5: My class is composed of learners from different home background and culture. I
cannot use a “one-size-fits all strategy” in teaching so I can respond to the diverse
background. In my readings, I discovered that there are ways of teaching. I tried one
myself and it worked. Who am I as a curricularist?

Case 6: Knowledge is limitless. What I learned in college is not enough. I need to know
more, so I enrolled in the graduate school to advance my learning. Who am I as a
curricularist?

Case 7: At the end of the year, my performance as a teacher is reflected in the school
performance of my students. So I need to provide a monitoring tool to a measure how they
are progressing. The result will inform me how I will address my learners’ weakness and
enhance their strengths. Who am I as a curricularist?

Case 8: I am teaching in a very far away barangay with no electricity yet. Many of the
instructional aids for teaching sent to our school are films and video tapes need power. I
cannot use them, but the lessons are very important. So I thought of making an alternative
activity. I took my class to the river and waterfall instead of doing the lesson. Who am I as
a curricularist?

Case 9: My principal asked to me to attend a write shop to make the lesson exemplars in
the teaching of science in Grade 7. In the workshop, I used my experiences as a science
teacher for ten years, and my knowledge of the subject matter. At the end of three days, I
was able to produce lesson exemplars which I am proud of. Who am I as a curricularist?

Case 10: In grade 7 to grade 10 of the K to 12 Enhanced Curriculum, science as a subject is

presented, taught and learned in a spiral manner. This is part of the DepEd implementing
guidelines of the curriculum. I am Biology major, and I have insufficient knowledge about
the other areas of science such as Physics and Earth Science. Because of this dilemma, I
have to request the principal that we have team teaching. Which role of the curricularist
am I trying to do?
