My Learning Essentials
Change is inevitable in curriculum
development. To be relevant, we need to
change, a change for the better. This can
be obviously seen through effective
implementation. What is curriculum
implementation? Let us look into the
different definitions.
• Curriculum
implementation means
putting into practice the
written curriculum that
has been designed in
syllabi, course students,
curricular guides and
subjects.
• Shift from what is current to a
new or enhanced curriculum
• Change requires efforts;
hence, goals should be
achievable

Other
meaning of
curriculum
• Teaching what has been
written in the lesson plan
• Implementing means using
the plan as guide to engage
the learners in the teacherlearning process
• It involves the different
strategies of teaching with the
support
of
instructional
materials
• Curriculum implementation
means putting the curriculum into
operation with the different
implementing agents.
• It takes place in a class, a school,
a district, etc. it requires time,
money, personal contacts and
support.
"unsuccessful
implementation
of
the
curriculum becomes the root of the
educational failure, thus some would say
that the root of the educational problem is
the teacher"
My Map
1. Interview
administrators/students about
changes in the curriculum
2. Get samples
of the different
curriculum
changes in the
schools you will
visit
4. Prepare
your
portfolio
3. Answer the
question, “why
do you need to
change the
curriculum”.
