Task 3
Task 3
1.Students
Learners in all levels make or unmake the curriculum by their active and direct involvement.
Learners make the curriculum alive. Students, through experience from their own education, are
able to give advice on student resources and facilities and are in a favourable position to judge
other aspects of curricula, such as the balance and relevance of course content and assessment.
Students are expected to complete their evaluation assignments also in a timely manner in order
to inform ongoing decision making and improve the curriculum/program educators, course
directors, and educational leadership for ongoing decision-making and improvements. Learners
may see how much progress they have made, what measures of achievement they can use for
themselves, and how much further they have to go before they reach their own goals.
2.Teachers
Teachers are the stakeholders who plan, design, teachers, implement and evaluate the
curriculum. A teacher is a curriculum maker. He writes a curriculum daily through lesson plan,
unit plan or a yearly plan. Teachers are empowered to develop their own curricula taking into
consideration their own expertise, the context of the school and the abilities of the learners
So, planning and writing the curriculum are the primary roles of the teacher. The teacher designs,
enriches, and modifies the curriculum to suit the learner’s characteristics. The teachers choose
the materials that are necessary for the activity. They guide, facilitate and direct the activities of
the learners. As curriculum developers, teachers are part of textbook committees, teacher
selection, school evaluation committee or textbooks and module writers themselves.
3.Principals
School administrators, who monitor the implementation of the curriculum, play a vital role in
structuring and developing the school and students. Furthermore, they are responsible for the
purchasing of learning materials which are essential for curriculum implementation. They are
usually informed by teachers, students, and the community about the success of their curriculum.
They can also employ the services of professional for evaluating the performance of the
curriculum. Convincing the parents on the merits of the new curriculum is the job of the school
leads. They should be committed to change and should employ strategies to meet the needs of
the teachers and learners like buildings, books, library, and other needed resources.
In fact, for school principals, one of their functions is being a curriculum manager. They
supervise curriculum implementation, select and recruit new teachers, admit students, procure
equipment and materials needed for effective learning. They also plan for the improvement of
school facilities and physical plants. The final decision making in terms of the school’s purpose
rests on the shoulders of school administrators.
4.Parents
The parents are responsible for tier children education. The success of a curricula would
somehow depend on their support. Parents see to it that what children learn in school are
practiced at home. they follow up lessons, they make available materials for learning and they
give permission for the participation of their children.
In most schools, parents associations are organized. This is being encouraged in School Based
Management. Many school projects and activities are supported by this organization.
Parents should understand fully the need for change and the implementation process. They
should be ready to assist the teachers and the students in the implementation.
Parents may also engage in the school activities like Brigada Eskwela. In this event, parents will
be able to know the situation in the school. Most often parents volunteer to help. They can also
be tapped in various co-curricular activities.
Parents influence the implementation of the curriculum by playing a vital role in monitoring the
lessons taught at schools, filling the gap between their children and the school administration by
providing various resources which are not available in school. Teachers often take help of
parents for monitoring the social and behavioral development of a child, especially for special
educational needs.
5.Community Partners
The community members and materials in the existing local community can be very well
substitute for what are needed to implement the curriculum. Respected community members may
be included in school boards as in some schools. They can be involved in the planning of your
curriculum, the development and sequencing of learning objectives, and the development of
facilitation guides. Partners can also be useful in the implementation of schools strategies.
Finally, community partners can also be useful in analyzing assessment data and in curricular
review processes.
6. Professional organizations
Professional organizations have shown great influence in school curriculum. They are being
asked by curriculum specialists to contribute in curriculum review because they have a voice in
licensure examinations, curriculum enhancement and many more.
