This document discusses perspectives on school curriculum. It addresses whether teachers need to learn about the curriculum, whether traditional curriculum views are still relevant, if a school can exist without a curriculum, and why teachers must be aware and sensitive of new curriculums. Specifically, it argues that teachers need curriculum knowledge to help students learn effectively. While traditional linear curriculum may not be as relevant today, curriculum still provides the foundation and objectives that direct a school's structure and culture. A school cannot exist without established learning objectives and curriculum to guide students. Teachers also must be aware of hidden or unintended lessons conveyed and pay attention to changing curriculums, as well as be sensitive to students' experiences.

1. Is it necessary for teachers to learn about school curriculum? Why?
- In order to help students learn effectively and connect with sources of knowledge and information that allow them to explore concepts, it is basically essential for teachers to become knowledgeable about the school curriculum. A curriculum will always aid the teacher in making a better adjustment to the setting. 2. In the context of 21st century and the new normal, do you think the traditional view of curriculum is still relevant? - Simply put, traditional curriculum is a more linear approach to learning while progressive curriculum provides more hands-on research, sudden program detours, and a chance to learn things in the field.
3. Can a school exist without a curriculum? Why?
- In essence, the targeted learning objectives serve as the foundation
for the curriculum, which in turn directs the learning objectives, the school structure, and the school culture. In other words, a curriculum is essential to a school's existence.
4. Why must the teacher be aware and sensitive of the new curriculum
- Hidden curriculum is a part of our education, these are part of lessons
which are not intended to teach but acquired by the learner. Any learning experience may teach an unintended lesson and usually observed. Such as norms, values and beliefs conveyed in the classroom and society.
- A teacher's obligation is to exhibit understanding and sensitivity. We
should pay attention to the "hidden curriculum," as it were. We should care about the pupils and the institution exactly as much that we should care about our own vocation. As teachers, we must be completely prepared for the changing curriculum as well as aware of the hidden ones. Knowledge comes second to readiness.
