ADVANTAGES
One of the strengths of Walkers model is the input of
curriculum developers , target group, and other
parties/stakeholders in the development of the
curriculum.
Stakeholder engagement in the planning and
development stages empowers and acknowledges them,
especially teachers, as valuable contributors.
broad social support that the intended product will have;
after all, users and other parties involved were given
ample opportunity to contribute
DISADVANTAGES
Walker describes what happens in the process of
curriculum design but does not describe what actually
happens in the classroom.
The processes for deliberation can be time consuming
and resource intensive, and can result in curriculum
products that may not be consistent and aligned
internally.
Consensus is often hard to achieve when developing
curriculum at regional levels.
