Lesson 4

Stakeholders in Curriculum Implementation

Introduction
Who are involved in curriculum and curriculum development? These are the persons who
we call the stakeholders. Stakeholders are individuals or institutions that are interested in the
curriculum. They get involved in many different ways. You must be one of them. Together with
the teachers, school managers, parents and even the whole community have interest in the
curriculum. We will all meet them in this lesson.

Content Focus

Curriculum Stakeholders

1. Learners are at the core of the curriculum.

To what extent are the students involved in curriculum development? The old
view that students are mere recipients of the curriculum is now changing. 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. After all, learners together with the
teachers, put action to the curriculum.

2. Teachers are curricularists.


Teachers are stakeholders who plan, design, teach, implement and evaluate the
curriculum implementation is the teacher. Teachers’ influence upon learners cannot be
measured. Better teachers foster better learning. But teachers need to continue with their
professional development to contribute to the success of curriculum implementation.
Teachers should have full knowledge of the program philosophy, content and
components of curriculum and ways of teaching.
3. School leaders are curriculum managers.
Principals and school heads, too, have important roles in curriculum
implementation process in schools. They 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. Communication line should be open to all concerned should the
school leaders in curriculum teamwork.
Convincing the parents on the merits of the new curriculum is the job of the
school heads. 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.

4. Parents
Parents are significant school partners. Besides the students, teachers and school
administrators, play an important role in curriculum implementation. When children
bring home homework from school, some parents are unable to help. 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 as chaperons to children in Boy and Girl Scouting, Science Camping
and the like. Parents may not directly be involved in curriculum implementation, but they
are formidable partners for the success of any curriculum development endeavour.

How do parents help shape the curriculum in schools? Here are some observations.

 The school composed of parents who are positively involved in school activities
have better achievement than schools with uninvolved parents.
 The home is the extended school environment. In lifelong learning, the achieved
learning in schools is transferred at home.
 In most schools, parent associations are organized. This is being encouraged in
School Based Management.

5. Community as the Curriculum Resources and a Learning Environment
