The Teacher as a Curricularist

Are you aware that the teacher's
role in school is very complex?
Teachers do a series of
interrelated actions about
curriculum, instruction, assessment,
evaluation, teaching and learning. A
classroom teacher is involved with
curriculum continuously all day. But
very seldom has a teacher
been described as curricularist.
Curricularists in the past, are
referred only to those who
developed
curriculum theories. According to
the study conducted by Sandra
Hayes (1991), the most influential
curricularist in America include
John Dewey, Ralph Tyler, Hilda
Taba and Franklin Bobbit.
The word curricularist is described
as a curriculum specialist (Hayes,
1991; Ornstein & Hunkins,
2004; Hewitt, 2006). A person
who is involved in curriculum
knowing, writing, planning,
implementing, evaluating,
innovating, and initiating may be
designated as curricularist. A
TEACHER'S
role is broader and inclusive of other
functions and so a teacher is a
curricularist.
The classroom is the first place of
curricular engagement. The first
school experience sets the
tone to understand the meaning of
schooling through the interactions of
learners and teachers that
will lead to learning. Hence,
curriculum is at the heart of
schooling.
The teacher as a curricularist...
1. knows the curriculum. Learning
begins with knowing. The teacher as
a learner starts with
knowing about the curriculum, the
subject matter or the content. As a
teacher, one has to
master what are included in the
curriculum. It is acquiring academic
knowledge both formal
(disciplines, logic) or informal
(derived from experiences,
vicarious, and unintended). It is the
mastery of the subject matter.
(KNOWER)
2. writes the curriculum. A
classroom teacher takes record of
knowledge concepts, subject
matter or content. These need to be
written or preserved. The teacher
writes books, modules,
laboratory manuals, instructional
guides, and reference materials in
paper or electronic media
as a curriculum writer or reviewer.
(WRITER)
3. plans the curriculum. A good
curriculum has to be planned. It is
the role of the teacher to
make a yearly, monthly or
daily plan of the curriculum.
This will serve as a guide in
the
implementation of the
curriculum. The teacher takes
into consideration several factors
in
planning a curriculum. These factors
include the learners, the support
material, time, subject
matter or content, the desired
outcomes, the context of the learners
among others. By doing
this, the teacher becomes a
curriculum planner. (PLANNER)
4. initiates the curriculum. In cases
where the curriculum is
recommended to the schools from
DepEd, CHED, TESDA,
UNESC0, UNICEF or other
educational agencies for
improvement of
quality education, the teacher is
obliged to implement it.
Implementation of a new curriculum
requires the open mindedness
of the teacher, and the full
belief that the curriculum will
enhance learning. There will be
many constraints and difficulties
in doing things first or
leading, however, a
transformative teacher will never
hesitate to try something novel
and
relevant. (INITIATOR)
5. innovates the curriculum.
Creativity and innovation are
hallmarks of an excellent teacher. A
curriculum is always dynamic, hence
it keeps on changing. From the
content, strategies, ways
of doing, blocks of time, ways
of evaluating, kinds of students
and skills of teachers, one
cannot find a single eternal
curriculum that would perpetually
fit. A good teacher, therefore,
innovates the curriculum and thus
becomes a curriculum innovator.
(INNOVATOR)
6. implements the curriculum. The
curriculum that remains
recommended or written will never
serve its purpose. Somebody has to
implement it. As mentioned
previously, at the heart of
schooling is the curriculum. It
is this role where the teacher
becomes the curriculum
implementor. An implementor gives
life to the curriculum plan. The
teacher is at the height of
an engagement with the
learners, with support materials
in order to achieve the desired
outcome. It is where teaching,
guiding, facilitating skills of the
teacher are expected to the
highest level. It is here where
teaching as a science and as an art
will be observed. It is here,
where all the elements of the
curriculum will come into play. The
success of a recommended,
well written and planned curriculum
depends on the implementation.
(IMPLEMENTOR)
7. evaluates the curriculum. How
can one determine if the desired
learning outcomes have
been achieved? Is the
curriculum working? Does it
bring the desired results? What
do
outcomes reveal? Are the
learners achieving? Are there
some practices that should be
modified? Should the curriculum be
modified, terminated or continued?
These are some few
questions that need the help of
a curriculum evaluator. That
person is the teacher.

implement when a curriculum is recommended to the schools from, DEPED, CHED,
TESDA, UNESCO, and other educational agencies for improvement of quality of

and the full conviction that the curriculum will augment learning. A transformative
teacher will never hesitate to something novel or relevant even if there will be many
obstacles and complications in doing things first (leading).

outstanding teacher will always be creative and innovative in order to keep at pace with the

outcomes have been met or attained? Is the curriculum operational? Does it convey the
intended results? Wha do results divulge? Are the learners accomplishing? Are there
some practices that should be revised or improved? Should the curriculum be reformed,
terminated, or sustained?
