Study the picture. What do you think are the ideas related to the teacher as curriculum implementor
and manager?

The idea of the teacher as curriculum implementer and manager emphasizes the significant role that
teachers play in the development, delivery, and assessment of curriculum. To fulfill this role
effectively, teachers must possess a solid understanding of curriculum design principles, plan and
prepare effective lessons that meet diverse learners’ needs, manage the classroom environment and
create a conducive learning atmosphere, assess student learning, evaluate their teaching effectiveness,
and engage in continuous professional development activities to enhance their knowledge and skills.

A. As a future teacher, what would be your response to curriculum implementation as part of

curriculum change? Are you willing to take part in the implementation? Why? Why not?

Curriculum implementation is a critical aspect of any curriculum change, as it involves putting

the new curriculum into action in the classroom. As a future teacher, I would be willing to take
part in the implementation process because it is an opportunity to improve my teaching skills
and enhance student learning outcomes.

To ensure successful implementation, I would need to familiarize myself with the new
curriculum thoroughly and understand its objectives and goals. I would collaborate with my
colleagues and participate in professional development sessions to learn about the best
practices and strategies for delivering the curriculum effectively. I would also use formative
assessments to monitor student progress and make adjustments to my teaching approach as
needed.

However, I understand that curriculum implementation can be challenging, and there may be
obstacles and resistance from various stakeholders. In such situations, I would remain open-
minded and receptive to feedback from students, parents, and other educators, and work
collaboratively to address concerns and find solutions. Ultimately, my goal would be to ensure
that students receive the best possible education and achieve their full potential.

B. Let’s Recall.
1. What is the level of knowledge in Bloom’s taxonomy?

2. What DepEd order requires a newly hired teacher to write a lesson plan?

3
 3. What is referred to as a miniscule curriculum that the teacher implements
every day?

4. What is the learning style of the learner, who likes to tinker with many
things?

5. What component of a lesson plan requires an active action for a curriculum

to be implemented?

C. Reflect on this question.

If all stakeholders contribute positively in curriculum implementation, do you think
curriculum change or development will succeed? Why or why not?
If all stakeholders contribute positively in curriculum implementation, it is likely that
curriculum change or development will have a higher chance of succeeding. This is because
stakeholders play a crucial role in the curriculum development process, and their involvement and
support can help ensure that the curriculum is effective and relevant to the needs of the learners.

Stakeholders can include educators, students, parents, community members, and

policymakers. Each group has unique perspectives and insights that can inform the curriculum
development process. For example, educators can provide valuable feedback on what works well in
the classroom and what needs to be improved, while students can offer insights into their learning
preferences and needs. Parents and community members can provide input on how the curriculum can
better align with the values and priorities of the local community, and policymakers can provide
guidance on the broader educational goals and standards that the curriculum should meet.

When all stakeholders contribute positively, they can work collaboratively towards a shared
vision for the curriculum, and this can help ensure that the curriculum is relevant, effective, and meets
the needs of all learners. In addition, stakeholder involvement can increase buy-in and ownership of
the curriculum, which can help ensure that it is implemented effectively and sustained over time.

 However, it is important to note that even with positive stakeholder involvement, there may
still be challenges in implementing and sustaining a curriculum change or development. For example,
there may be limited resources or conflicting priorities that make it difficult to fully implement the
curriculum as intended. In addition, there may be resistance to change from some stakeholders, which
can make it challenging to gain widespread support for the new curriculum.

Overall, positive stakeholder involvement is an important factor in the success of curriculum

change or development, but it is not the only factor. Effective implementation and sustained support
from all stakeholders will be necessary to ensure that the new curriculum meets its intended goals and
has a lasting impact on learners.
