CHAPTER 3 IMPLEMENTING THE CURRICULUM Module 4: The Teacher as Curriculum Implementor and Manager

There is a miniscule curriculum like your lesson plan or a big one like the K to 12 curriculum. You will be both an implementor and a manager of these curricula. You will put action on what has been planned and designed. You, a teacher, will add more meaning to the various activities in the classroom. It is what we call teaching styles. You have to make the learners' day interesting, engaging and unforgettable. No curriculum should stop at the planning or designing phase. It has to be implemented.

10. LESSON 1 IMPLEMENTING THE DESIGNED CURRICULUM AS A CHANGE PROCESS

11. LESSON OBJECTIVES Leader Operations At the end of the lesson, the students can: explain the process of curriculum implementation and its importance in achieving effective teaching and learning, value the role of collaboration with peers and school leaders in successfully implementing curriculum changes; and demonstrate the ability to apply a new curriculum strategy in the classroom to engage students effectively.

12. CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION Putting into practice the written curriculum that has been designed in the syllabus course of study, curricular guides, and subjects. Following Tyler, Taba , Saylor, and Alexander or Lewis's curriculum models are the next steps to curriculum designing, which is curriculum implementation.

13. Ornstein and Hunkins implies that curriculum implementation is: A shift from what is current to a new or enhanced curriculum. Change in knowledge, actions attitudes of the persons involved. Change in behavior using new strategies and resources. Change requires efforts; hence goals should be achievable.

14. Classroom Context Curriculum implementation means "teaching" what has been written in the lesson plan. Larger Scale Curriculum implementation means putting the curriculum into operation with the different implementing agents. Loucks and Lieberman (1983) define curriculum implementation as the trying out of a new practice and what it looks like when used in a school system.

15. CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION AS A CHANGE PROCESS Kurt Levin’s Force Field Theory Restraining Force Driving Force

16. In 1990, McNeil categorized curriculum change as follows: Substitution Alteration Restructuring Perturbations Value Orientation

17. The change in curriculum and implementation contain three elements : developmental participatory supportive

18. SUMMARY Curriculum implementation is the process of putting the planned curriculum into action, ensuring effective teaching and learning. It involves adapting new instructional strategies, modifying assessment methods, and fostering collaboration among teachers, students, and administrators. Change in curriculum follows different forms, such as substitution, alteration, restructuring, perturbations, and value orientation. Kurt Lewin’s Force Field Theory explains that successful change requires strengthening driving forces and reducing resistance. Effective implementation depends on a developmental process for teachers, a participatory approach involving stakeholders, and a supportive environment with necessary resources.
