3. 1. Learners at the Center of the Curriculum
- Learners are the very reason a curriculum is
developed.
- They are the ones who are directly influenced
by it.
- Learners in all levels make or unmake the
curriculum by their active and direct
involvement.
4. “I consider the learner as the center of the
educational process. Everything in the curriculum
should revolve around his/her interests, needs, abilities,
and capacities. 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
5. “In the selection of the subject matter, the needs of the
individual learner should receive proper emphasis. To do this, the course
of study must be organized around the changing nature and
development needs within the cultural context of the learners.
Organizing curriculum to meet individual differences is compatible with
democratic principles. Curriculum makers and implementers need to
know what differences there are in the cultural background, mental
systems, and approaches to problem solving of the learners. All of these
considerations will enable the learner to achieve the richness of
experiences in a particular curriculum.”
- Venus
6. “Learners or students are the very reason why
schools exist. It is the schools’ 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 experiences to their lives.”

- Prepares activities for the students to do.
- Addresses the goals, needs, interests of the
learners by creating experiences from
where the students can learn.
- Designs, enriches, and modifies the

8. “Teachers are the most crucial persons in the
implementations of a curriculum. As an adult in the teaching-
learning process, he/she holds the key in operationalizing what
activities have been planned. With the full support of the
principal, supervisor and other school administrators, the
teachers who are empowered will be able to select, organize,
carry out and evaluate learning experiences of a curriculum.
His/her ability to translate what has been written to action is the
key to effective curriculum implementations.”
- Fel
9. “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 this
demand of teaches in curriculum implementation.”
- Marianna
10. 2. Curriculum Managers and Administrators
- Supervise curriculum implementations,
select, and recruit new teachers, admit
students, procure equipment and materials
needed for effective learning.
- Plan for the improvement of school
facilities and physical plants.
11. “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 schools’
vision, philosophy, mission and objectives. They provide
necessary leadership in evaluating teaching personnel and
school program. Keeping records of curriculum and
reporting learning outcomes are also the managers’
responsibilities.”
- Ceres
12. “The school administrators have the responsibility of
running the entire school effectively. They have to oversee
the smooth transition of the child from one grade level to
another and they should see to it that the curriculum is
implemented vertically or horizontally with very minimal
overlaps. Instead there should be continuity, relevance,
balance, so that overall curriculum will produce a well
rounded person.”
