This document summarizes a student's field study exploring the roles of teachers as curricularists. The student conducted interviews with teachers at different education levels to learn about their roles as planners, writers, knowers, innovators, evaluators, and implementors of curriculum. The student also researched literature on the role of early childhood teachers as guides who foster children's intellectual and social development. The field study portfolio included evidence of interviews, reflections on the student's own role as a future curricularist, and a rubric evaluating the student's work.
