 WHAT DOES A
TEACHER DO TO
DESERVE THE LABEL
CURRICULARIST?
KNOWS THE
CURRICULUM
LEARNING begins with KNOWING. The TEACHER as LEARNER
starts with knowing the curriculum, the subject matter or the
content.

It is all about MASTERY of the SUBJECT MATTER.

Mastery by ACQUIRING academic knowledge both FORMAL

and INFORMAL.
WRITES THE
CURRICULUM
A teacher TAKES RECORD of knowledge concepts, subject
matter or content.

The teacher WRITES books, modules, laboratory manuals,

instructional guides, and reference materials in any types of
material.
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.

In writing curriculum, the teacher TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION

several factors such as the learners, the support material, time, subject
matter, desired outcomes, and the context of the learners among
others.
INITIATES THE CURRICULUM
The teacher is OBLIGED to implement curriculum
recommended by educational agencies for the
improvement of quality education.

TRANSFORMATIVE.

to become an excellent teacher.

the teacher to GIVE LIFE to the curriculum plan.

The success of a recommended, well written and

planned curriculum DEPENDS on the
IMPLEMENTATION.
