LEADERSHIP IN

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

A Reaction Paper

By Ms. Eleonor P. Pilac


Submitted To Ms. Nadine Celindro
Let’s start a question.
Can a school exist without a curriculum?

No, a school cannot exist without a curriculum.

A school is put up to be an institution of guidelines, an institution for educating

children into the knowledge they have to attain for the sake of survival in the world

of community they live in. Without curriculum, a school is worthless or of no use.

The establishment that consists of subjects to be taught during the whole school

year, the amount of each lesson to be taught, the materials to be used during the

lesson, the textbooks, the schedule of exams and test to be taken, the due of paper

works, projects and the programs to be made during and in between school days

all of these, is what we called the curriculum. Curriculum is the heart of my teaching

that is how essential, valuable and important curriculum is to me as a teacher. How

can I know what to teach, how to teach and why to teach if i don't have the

curriculum. It is my guiding light to lead the learners to the essentials that they

should learn. Through curriculum, I can know when to give them a certain lesson,

when to let them have the test and exams. I can know when to give them practical

evaluations. In it, I can evaluate my students and assess them into which level they

have achieved, have been achieving and will be achieved. We teachers must

therefore learn the new curriculum, this is the primary implication of an ever

changing curriculum. This means, teachers will need to gain knowledge in the new

parts of curriculum, in many cases. They will also need to attend sessions such as

professional development or better yet, return to school if possible.


Teachers may have to change the way they teach depending on how the

curriculum is changed. A change in curriculum is a good thing because often times,

it is changed to accommodate the learners' changing needs and abilities. The three

processes of planning, implementing and evaluating are essential in the curriculum

development because these processes make up the development of a curriculum.

These three processes are called the three parts of a curriculum. As I experienced

the complexity and diversity of school life through my teaching experience, I

realized how confusing and frustrating leadership experiences can be, especially

when you lack the tools needed to face these experiences. On the other hand, my

teaching experience, through which I felt the impact of leadership techniques on

the effectiveness of leaders is not easy. Leadership focuses both on what is being

learned and how it is taught. As a teacher, you are responsible for making sure

that your learners achieved your goal to them for you to know if your

implementation of the curriculum to them is effectively. By this topic of my report &

reaction paper I’ve learned a lot of things. Thank you po Ma’am Nadine for

empowering us and to inspiring us. You’re such a good leader. God bless po
