CURRICULARIST?

Direction:
Identify on the slates provided who am I
as a curricularist based on the cases

 CASE NO. 1

I have a good idea on how to make

my leaners pay attention to the
lesson. I will use the new idea and
find out if it will work.

 CASE NO. 2

DepEd sent the standards, competencies

and guidelines in teaching the Mother
tongue in Grade 1 in our school. I will
study and use it in the coming school year.

 CASE NO. 2

DepEd sent the standards, competencies

and guidelines in teaching the Mother
tongue in Grade 1 in our school. I will
study and use it in the coming school year.
IMPLEMENTOR
 CASE NO. 3

There is so much to do in one school day.

I seem not able to do all, but I have to
accomplish something for my learners. I
have made a daily activity plan to guide
me.
PLANNER
 CASE NO. 4

I need a poem to celebrate the World

Teachers’ Day. I composed one to be
used in my class in Literature.

WRITER
 CASE NO. 5

My class is composed of learners from different

home background and culture. I cannot use a one-
size-fits-all strategy in teaching so I can respond to
the diverse background. In my readings, I
discovered that there are ways of teaching. I tried
one myself and it worked.
INNOVATOR
 CASE NO. 6

Knowledge is limitless. What I learned in

college is not enough. I need to know
more, so I enrolled in the graduate school
to advance my learning.
KNOWER
 CASE NO. 7

At the end of the school year, my performance as

a teacher is reflected in the school performance
of my students. So I need to provide a monitoring
tool to measure how they are progressing. The
result will inform me how I will address my
learners’ weakness and enhance their strengths.

EVALUATOR
 CASE NO. 8

I am teaching in a very far away barangay with no

electricity yet. Many of the instructional aids for
teaching sent to our school are films and video
tapes which need power. I cannot use them, but
the lessons are very important. So I thought of
making an alternative activity. I took my class to
the river and waterfall instead of doing the lesson.
INNOVATOR
 CASE NO. 9

My teacher asked me to attend a write shop

to make the lesson exemplars in the teaching
of science in Grade 7. In the workshop, I used
my experiences as a science teacher for ten
years, and my knowledge of the subject matter.
At the end of three days, I was able to produce
lesson exemplars which I am proud of.
WRITER
 CASE NO. 10

In Grade 7 to Grade 10 of the K to 12

Enhanced Curriculum, science as a subject is
presented, taught and learned in a spiral
manner. This is part of the DepEd
implementing guidelines of the curriculum.
 CASE NO. 10

I am a Biology major, and I have insufficient

knowledge about the other areas of science
such as Physics and Earth Science. Because of
this dilemma, I have to request the principal
that we have team teaching.
