1. Learners at the Center of the
Curriculum
For a particular curriculum design
mentioned earlier, the learner is
placed at the center.
The learners are the very reason why
curriculum is developed.

Learners at the Center of the
Curriculum
They are the ones who
are directly influenced by
it.
After all, in curriculum
implementation, the concluding
question will always be:
Has the learner learned?

Example of Learners at the Center of
Curriculum
• I consider the learner as the center of
the education process. Everything in the
curriculum should revolve around his/her
interest, needs, abilities, and capabilities.
The nature of the learner must be made
the science of learning. The experiences
of the learners must be the starting
point in accomplishing the goals of
education, to let them grow in knowledge,
skills, abilities and attitudes.
Josefa

Example of Learners at the Center of
Curriculum
• ‘‘Learners or students are the very
reason why schools exist. It is the
school’ responsibility to further
develop the learners’ knowledge, skills,
talents and attitude to face the
different situations in life. It is
through a responsive curriculum that
these things can be achieved. A
curriculum is effective if it enables all
learners to relate the different school
experience to their lives.’’

Curriculum
• It can be the gleaned
that the learners are
the primary
stakeholders in the
curriculum.

Curriculum

Curriculum
• The success of the curriculum can only be
measured by the extent of learning that he
learners have achieved.
…..therefore, a fit between the planned
or written curriculum and the
characteristics of the learner will
guarantee success in education.

2. Teachers as Curriculum
Developers and Implementers
In teaching and learning process,
the other side of the coin is the
teacher.
Most curricula start to gain life from
the time it is conceived and written.

Teachers as Curriculum
Primary Role
of the
Teacher
A teacher is a curriculum maker. He/she writes a
curriculum daily through a lesson plan, a unit plan
or a yearly plan.

• The teacher prepares activities
for the students to do.
• The teacher address the goals,
needs interests of the learners
by creating experiences from
where the students can learn.

• The teacher designs, enriches, and
modifies the curriculum to suit the
learner’s characteristics.

As a curriculum
developer…

• Teachers are empowered to
develop their own school curricula
taking into consideration their
own expertise, the context of the
school and the abilities of the
learners.
…. By so doing, teachers become
architects of school curriculum

• A developed curriculum remains
enactive, if it is not implemented.
…teacher role’s shifts from a
developer to an implementer.
…from a designer or
technician to a decision maker.

• Curriculum implementation is now
giving life to written materials. To do
this, there is need of another actor,
the learners.
• No curriculum will succeed without
the learners.

• The teachers’ role now shifts from
planning to doing.
• Doing here implies guiding,
facilitating and directing activities
which will be done by the students.

• The teachers’ role as an
implementer is very crucial.
Oftentimes, unsuccessful
implementation of the curriculum
becomes the root of educational
failure, thus some would say that
the root of the educational
problem is the teacher.

Views of students about the teacher
as curriculum maker and implementer
• ‘‘Teachers shape the school curriculum
by sharing the experiences that they
have and the resources they are
capable of giving or imparting to the
learners. But as the old saying goes.’’
What can you give if you have nothing
to give? Applies to the demand of
teaches in curriculum implementation.
-Marianna

• Although educational theorist and
practitioners are giving value the
idea of independent learning and
learning how to learn, the role of the
teacher in curriculum implementation
has never diminished.
• No technology can ever replace a
teacher, it will only support the
multifaceted role of the teacher.

3.Curriculum Managers and
Administrators
In a school organization, there is always a
curriculum manager or school administrator.
In fact, for school principals, one of their
functions is being a curriculum manager.

Curriculum Managers and
Administrators
They also plan for the improvement of
school facilities and physical plants.

Why are school administrators and curriculum
managers important to curriculum
implementation?
• The school administrators play an
important role in shaping the school
curriculum because they are the people
who are responsible in the formulation of
the school’s vision, philosophy, mission
and objectives. They provide necessary
leadership in evaluating teaching
personnel and school program. Keeping
records of curriculum and reporting
outcomes are also the managers’
responsibilities.

Administrators
• Indeed the role of the
administrators can never be ignored.
The principle of command
responsibility and institutional
leadership rests on the shoulders of
the school administrators.

Administrators
• The final decision making in terms of
the school’s purpose rests on the
shoulders of school administrators.
• In the academic institutions, school
administrators have a great stake or
concern about what kind of curriculum
their school offer and how these is
implemented.

4. Parents as supporters to the
curriculum
‘‘ My child and my money go to this
school.’’ It simply means that the
parents are the best supporters of the
school, specially because they are the
ones paying for their child’s education.

How do the parents shape the curriculum
and what are they consider as
stakeholders:
1. Effective parental involvement in school
affairs may be linked to parent
educational programs w/c is central to
high quality educational experiences of
the children. It is a well known fact that
where you find an involved parent, you
find better communication between
home and school.

stakeholders:
2. The parents involvement extends
from the confine of the school to
the homes. The parents become
part of the environment of
learning at home. Parents follow up
the lesson of their children
especially in basic education.
Parents provide curriculum
materials that are not provided in

stakeholders:
3. In most schools the Parent
Association is organized.

5. Community Members as
Curriculum Resources
• success in the implementation of the
curriculum requires resources.

Community Members as
• The community members and
materials in the existing local
community can very well
substitute for what is needed
to implement the curriculum.

Community Members as
• Respected community members
maybe included in school boards
• Some can become resource
speakers.
• They can provide local and
indigenous knowledge in school
curriculum

6.OtherStakeholders
• Professional organizations have
shown great influence in school
curriculum.

Other Stakeholders in
Curriculum Implementation
• They are asked by curriculum
specialists to contribute in
curriculum review since they
have a voice in the licensure
examinations, curriculum
enhancement and many more.

• often, professional organization
have a better view of the
industry where the graduates
of the curriculum go.

• Some of these organizations are
those of each profession, like
teachers’ organization, lawyers’
organization, medical doctors’
association, engineers’
organization and many others.

• On the other hand, since all
schools in the country, are under
the regulation of the government
as provided for in the Philippine
Constitution, then the
government has a great stake in
curriculum implementation.

• The government is represented
by the:
1.Department of Education
(DepEd) for basic education
curricula.
2.Commission on Higher Education
(CHED) for the tertiary and
graduate education.

3.The Professional
Regulations Commission
(PRC).

• PRC through the Professional Regulatory
Boards, conducts examinations for some
degree programs like the Licensure
Examination for Teachers, Accountants,
Dentists, Engineers and Nurses among others
while the Supreme Court has a professional
bar exam to certify lawyers and the Philippine
Medical Association through its Medical Board
of Examiners conducts medical board exams
for the licensure examination for doctors.

• The DepEd and the CHED have
mandatory and regulatory powers
over the implementation of any
curricula. PRC has high stake in
the school’s curricula because the
graduates of the different
tertiary degrees must be certified
as professionals.
