    teacher as a curricularist?

    + are referred only to those who developed curriculum theories. 
    + According to the study conducted by Sandra Hayes (1991), the
    most influential curricularists in America include John Dewey,
    Ralph Tyler (quintessential prototype of curriculum), Hilda
    Taba (TABA MODEL), and Franklin Bobbit.
    The classroom is the first place
    of curricular engagement. The
    first school experience sets the
    tone to understand the
    meaning of schooling through
    the interactions of learners and
    teachers that will lead to
    learning. Hence, curriculum is
    the heart of schooling.
    CURRICURALIST

    A person who is involved in


    A teacher’s role is broader and
    describes as a professional curriculum knowing, writing,
    inclusive of other functions
    who is a curriculum specialist planning, implementing,
    and teachers that will lead to
    (Hayes, 1991; Ornstein & evaluating, innovating, and
    learning. Hence, curriculum is
    Hunkins, 2004; Hewitt, 2006). initiating may be designated
    the heart of instruction.
    as curricularist.
    The teacher as curricularist
    1. Knows the curriculum. The teacher as a learner starts with knowing about the
    curriculum, the subject matter, or the content. Acquiring academic
    knowledge both formal (disciplines, logic) and informal (derived from
    experiences, vicarious, and unintended).
    2. Writes the curriculum. A classroom teacher takes a record of knowledge
    concepts, subject matter, or content. These need to be written or preserved. The
    teacher writes books, modules, laboratory manuals, instructional guides, and is a
    curriculum writer or reviewer.
    3. Plans the curriculum. A good curriculum has to be planned. It is the role of the
    teacher to make a yearly, monthly, or daily plan for the curriculum. This will serve
    as a guide in the implementation of the curriculum.
    4. Initiates the curriculum. There will be many constrains and difficulties in doing
    things first or leading however, a transformative teacher will never hesitate to try
    something novel and relevant.

    5. Innovates the curriculum. Creativity and innovation are hallmarks of an excellent teacher. A
    curriculum is always dynamic, hence it keeps on changing. A good teacher, therefore, innovates
    the curriculum and thus becomes a curriculum innovator.

    6. Implements the curriculum. The curriculum that remains recommended or written will


    never serve its purpose. The teacher is at the height of an engagement with the learners, with
    support materials in order to achieve the desired outcome. It is where the teaching, guiding, and
    facilitating skills of the teacher are expected to the highest level. It is here where teaching as a
    science and as an art will be observed. It is here, where all the elements of the curriculum
    will come into play. The success of recommended, well-written and planned curriculum
    depends on its implementation.

    7. Evaluates the curriculum. How can one determine if the desired learning outcomes have
    been achieved? Is the curriculum working? Does it bring the desired results? What does the
    outcome reveal? Are the learners achieving? Are there some practices that should be modified?
    Should the curriculum be modified, terminated, or continued?
    As a curricularist a teacher will be
    knowing, writing, implementing,
    innovating, initiating, and evaluating
    the curriculum in the school and
    classrooms just like the role models
    and advocates in curriculum and
    curriculum development who have
    shown the way.
