Saylor and Alexander Model
John Galen Saylor (1902 – 1998) was an American educator, he
enjoyed a full bright professorship in Finland in 1962. Whereas,
William Marvin Alexander (1912-1996) was an American
Educator and well-known as a father of the American Middle
School. They are both well-known authors of book in
Curriculum Planning and development. They co-authored a
book entitled Curriculum Planning for Better Teaching.
Saylor and Alexander (1974) viewed curriculum
development as consisting of four steps. Curriculum according
to them is “a plan for providing sets of learning opportunities to
achieve broad educational goals and related specific objectives
for an identifiable population served by a single school center”
(Bilbao, et.al 2015). Below is the illustration of the model.

Steps of the Saylor and Alexander Model
The Steps in the Saylor and Alexander
model is so simple that it only follows the
sequence/phase of the curriculum
development process that considers the
external variables as bases in formulating the
goals, objectives and domains.
Goals, Objectives and Domain
Just like other models of curriculum
development, Alexander and Saylor give
foremost importance on the identification of
goals, objectives and domain as the starting
point of curriculum development. They also
noted that the bases of which are the external
factors which are the important sources of
learning to be acquired by the students.
Curriculum Designing
After careful consideration on goals, objectives
and domain, the next important step is
curriculum designing. In designing a
curriculum vital decision as to how the
essential elements will be properly arranged is
given a thorough analysis.
Curriculum Implementation
A well-designed curriculum is now ready for
implementation. As a step in the curriculum
development, curriculum implementation
requires the pedagogical skills of the teachers
to give justice on the process taken in order to
meticulously design a curriculum.
Curriculum Evaluation
Evaluation is the last step of the curriculum
development model. Evaluation is always
necessary. It will determine the success or
failure of the plan, the design and the
implementation taken.
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
PROCESS
Curriculum development is a dynamic process
it changes according to the needs of the society
and the stakeholders of the education system.
The curriculum development follows a
systematic process which involves different
stages arranged in linear fashion such as
curriculum planning, curriculum designing,
curriculum implementing, and curriculum
evaluating

Curriculum Development Process
1. Curriculum Planning
It is said that many people are involve in
developing curriculum. Planning as an initial
phase of the curriculum development process
should involve the key players such as the
curriculum experts, professional educators,
teachers, students, parents and other stakeholders
of the school. These key players have their vital
roles to play.
Curriculum Development Process
2. Curriculum Design
Curriculum design is the parent of
instructional design. It is the arrangement of
the components of the curriculum. Curriculum
arrangement always comes in this order:
objectives, content, instruction, and evaluation
(Ronald Doll as cited by Reyes and Dizon,
2015).
Curriculum Development Process
3. Curriculum Implementing
After the curriculum has been planned and
designed, proper implementation eventually
takes place. Implementation is an interaction
between those who have created the program and
those who are charged to deliver it.
Curriculum Development Process
Ornstein and Hunkins stated that:
Implementation requires educators to shift from the current program
attitudes of people
Implementation can be seen as a process of professional development
