Principals and school leads too, have important roles in curriculum implementation
process in schools.
Parents are significant school partners. Besides the students, teachers and
administrators, parents play an important role in curriculum implementation.
The home is the extended school environment. In lifelong learning, the achieved
learning in schools are transferred at home. thus, the home becomes the laboratory of
learning. 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.
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.
A school curriculum, whether big or small are influenced by many stakeholders. Each
one has a contribution and influence in what should replace, modify, substitute the
current curriculum. Each one has a significant mark in specific development and change
process of curriculum development.
Schools need to listen to parents' concerns about school curriculum like textbooks,
school activities, grading systems and others. Schools have one way of engaging
parents cooperation through 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 may not directly be involved in curriculum implementation, but they are
formidable partners for the success of any curriculum development endeavor.
Teachers are the stakeholders who plan, design, teachers, implement and evaluate the
curriculum. No doubt, the most important person in curriculum implementation is the
teacher. Teachers' influence upon learners cannot be measured. Teachers should have
full knowledge of the program philosophy, content and components of curriculum and
ways of teaching.
It is true that the school is in the community, hence the community is the extended
school ground, a learning environment. All the barangay leaders, the elders, others
citizens and residents of the community have a stake in the curriculum.
When a curriculum has already been written,he teacher's role is to implement like a
technician, however, teachers are reflective persons. they put their hearts into what they
do. they are very mindful that in the center of everything they do, is the learner.
A teacher design, enriches and modifies the curriculum to suit the learners'
characteristics. As curriculum developers, teachers are part of textbook committees,
teacher selection, school evaluation committee or textbooks and module writers
themselves.
The teacher has a great stake in the curriculum. Curriculum planning, designing and
implementing are in the hands of a good teacher. In the educational setting, it is clear
that the teacher has a very significant role in curriculum development.

Learners have more dynamic participation from the planning, designing, implementing
and evaluating. However, the degree of their involvement is dependent on their
maturity. the older they are in high school or college, the more they participate. From
another angle, whether learners are in the elementary or college level, they can make or
break curriculum implementation by their active or non-involvement. Afterall, learners
together with the teachers, place action to the curriculum.

It is because, the learners make the curriculum alive. A written curriculum that does not
consider the students, will have a little chance to succeed.
At the end f the curriculum development process, the fundamental question asked is:
Have the students learned?
