THE ROLES OF STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM

IMPLEMENTATION

STAKEHOLDERS
 Are individuals or institution that are interrelated in the school curriculum.
 They are the one who put into action and give life to the curriculum.
 They shape the school curriculum implementation.

LEARNERS
 The very reason a curriculum is developed
 Center of the curriculum
 The ones who are directly influenced by it
 Make or unmake the curriculum by their active and direct involvement
 The primary stakeholders in the curriculum
 The direct beneficiary of the curriculum implementation. Upon them lie the success or
failure of the curriculum.
Since the learners are the primary stakeholders in the curriculum, the universal as well as
the individual characteristics of the students should be considered. Age, gender, physical,
mental, emotional development, cultural background, interests, aspirations and personal
goals are some of the factors that should be considered in the implementation of any
curriculum.

TEACHERS
 The person who directly implements the curriculum, in those hands, direction and
guidance are provided for successful implementation.
 Addresses the goals, needs, interests of the learners by creating experiences where the
students can learn
 Designs, enriches and modifies the curriculum to suit learner’s characteristics
 As a curriculum developer, they are part of textbook committees, faculty selection
boards, school evaluation committees or textbook writers themselves
 ROLES OF A TEACHER
 The teacher prepares activities for the students to do.
 The teachers address the goals and need interests of the learner by creating
experiences from where the students can learn.
 The teacher designs, enriches, and modifies the curriculum to suit the learner’s
characteristics.
The teacher’s roles as an implementer is very crucial. Oftentimes, unsuccessful
implementation of the curriculum becomes the root of educational failure, thus some would
say that the root of the educational problem is the teacher.

Teachers as curriculum developers and implementers

In the teaching and learning process, the other side of the coin is the teacher. Most
curricula start to gain life from the time it is conceived and written. Planning and writing the
curriculum are the primary roles of the teacher. A teacher is a curriculum maker. He/ she writes a
curriculum daily through a lesson plan, a unit plan or a yearly plan. The teacher designs, enriches
and modifies the curriculum to suit the learner’s characteristics. Teachers are empowered to
develop their own expertise, the context of the school and the abilities of the learners. By so
doing, teachers become architects of school curriculum.

Curriculum Managers and Administrators

 Supervise curriculum implementation, select and recruit new teachers, admit students,
procure equipment and materials needed for effective learning.
 Plan for the improvement of school facilities and physical plants
 Have a great stake or concern about what kind of curriculum their schools offer and how
these are implemented
 They see to it that the written curriculum is correctly implemented in schools thus they
provide support to the whole organization through their leadership
In a school organization there is always a curriculum manager or school administrator .
In fact, for school principals one their function is being a curriculum manager.

Parents
 Supporter of the curriculum
 Spend their personal money to achieve the goals of the curriculum. The interest is on the
return of the investment through the learning outcomes of the students.
  The best supporters of the school, especially because they are the ones paying for their
child’s education
 The power of parents to influence curricula to include instructional materials and school
activities is great, such that the success of the curricula would depend on their support

How do parents shape the curriculum and why are considered as stakeholders?
1. Effective parental involvement in school affairs maybe linked to parent educational
programs which is central to high quality educational experiences of the children.
2. The parent’s involvement extends from the confine of the school to the homes.
3. In most schools the Parent Association is organized.

Community Members
 Success in the implementation of the curriculum requires resources.
 Respected community members maybe included in school boards
 Some can become resources speakers.
 They can provide local and indigenous knowledge in school curriculum
 The community members and materials in the existing local community can very well
substitute for what is needed to implement the curriculum

Other Stakeholders
 Professional organizations have shown great influence in school curriculum
 They are asked by curriculum specialists to contribute in curriculum review since they
have a voice in the licensure examinations, curriculum enhancement and many more
 Often, professional organization have a better view of the industry where the graduates of
the curriculum go.
Some of these organizations, are those of each profession, like teachers’
organization, lawyers’ organization, medical doctors’ association, engineers’ organization
and many others.
On the other hand, since all school in the country, are under the regulation of the
government as provided for in the Philippine Constitution, then the government has a
great stake in curriculum implementation.
The DepEd and the CHED have mandatory and regulatory powers over the
implementation of any curricula. PRC has high stake in the school’s curricula because the
graduates of the different tertiary degrees must be certified as professionals. PRC through
the Professional Regulatory Boards, conducts examinations for some degree programs
like the Licensure Examination for Teachers, Accountants, Dentists, Engineers and Nurse
among others while the Supreme Court has a professional bar examination to certify
lawyers and the Philippine Medical Association through its Medical Boards of Examiners
conducts medical board exams for the licensure examination for doctors.
