II.Answer the following questions briefly

A. When do we say that the environment is safe and positive? Give descriptions in 3
to 5 sentences. ( 10 points)
 The wise deployment of space can go a long way toward ensuring a
physically safe environment, particularly for young children. If classrooms,
the art room, restrooms, and the library are all within easy walking
distance, and if the paths to each are safe, children will feel secure going
alone. In addition, a school's arrangement of teachers into teams, houses,
 and the like can contribute to a feeling of community, and therefore
emotional safety, for students; they should feel part of a group small
enough that their absence or illness would be noticed.

B. What are the different roles of a teacher as a curricularist? Describe each role in
your own words. Use at least two sentences per role. (35 points)
1. Knows the curriculum
 The teacher needs to know what the curriculum is about; the content or the
subject matter to be mastered. The teaching of a teacher is based on the
curriculum in which it is the nature and scope of the student subject, which
are needed by the teacher as a knower.

2. Writes the curriculum

 A teacher has to write curriculum intended to educate them rather than
their students. It allows the teacher to work through a process of learning,
as for directing their students through at some process. Curriculum is
written in a way that also motivates the teacher to learn.

3. Plans the curriculum

 A teacher has to make a plan. The plan will contain the knowledge
concepts, subject matter or content, the desired outcomes, support
materials, learner’s needs and interests, and many more. Common
example of a planned curriculum is the daily lesson plan. Therefore, as the
teacher makes plan, they has to lay it in a paper which serves as a record
that they has done planning. By this time, a teacher is said to be a planner
and writer of the curriculum.

4. Initiates the curriculum

 A teacher initiates the curriculum. Everything changes so as curriculum
does. There are, indeed, changes in the trends of education and therefore
the authority has to find ways in order to address these changes. As a
teacher being concerned with student’s learning, whatever changes in
curriculum, most preferably well, the teacher should be the one who firstly
take it. They should be glad and waves up the said curriculum with belief
that it will really enhance learning. Indeed, by this time, a teacher is an
initiator of curriculum.

5. Innovates the curriculum

 A teacher innovates the curriculum, they execute their creativity and critical
thinking in dealing with curriculum. In here, the teacher has to find variety
of effective ways in executing the curriculum. Teachers need to innovate
the curriculum considering the differences among learners, changing
 people and society’s liking and with preferable teaching and learning
strategies. With these, therefore make a teacher becomes a curriculum
innovator

6. Implements the curriculum

 Teachers are viable candidates for curriculum leadership is their presence
in the classroom level. It is in the classroom where the curriculum is carried
out. Since the classroom is basically the work field of teachers, teachers
experience first-hand the results of curriculum planning and how these
make an impact on the learners. Teachers are in the best position to
witness whether the curriculum is at odds or in keeping with the needs and
interests of students.

7. Evaluates the curriculum

 A teacher has to make ways to test or evaluate their students. In a normal
classroom undertaking, this is now the part where the teacher gives
summative assessment to see whether his/her instruction is somewhat or
somehow effective in giving the learners knowledge. This time also
teacher’s able to judge or reflect with himself/herself and with the plan they
has made. Teacher’s raises question like “does the plan has to be revised,
improvised or adapted for future use.
