Read the schedule of the class that you are observing. Record the learning areas, its
sequence and time allotment.
A lot of factors contribute to the low performance of students. Some teachers say that
the problem is with the curriculum. Some believe that it is the teacher’s lack of competence
to teach the subject, while others say that it is because of the lack of textbooks and support
from parents. How about the class size? The enrolment in public schools-ballooned into
uncontrollable size Consider the number of students in the class you are observing against

Learners are different in many ways. They differ in their cultural backgrounds,
lifestyles, needs, interest, skills, and mental abilities. However, these differences need to be
addressed through the curriculum as part of the challenges of one of the programs of DepEd,
Education for All (EFA) and the (MTBA-MLE). The use of the indigenized/localized
curriculum can be recommended.
Did the teacher the indigenize/localize curriculum? Find the answer by observing his
class. Indicate a check mark on the activities/practices which were done to make the
curriculum relevant and suitable to the demands of the different groups of students.

Part 3: The Teacher as Implementer of the Curriculum
The teacher is responsible in the implementation of the curriculum. Find out why the
teacher plays an important role in the curriculum.
Procedure:
The teacher is the implementer of the curriculum. He/ She make plans and choose the
method that will best suit the needs and interest of his/her students. In doing so, he/ she
always consider the learning competencies of the grade level.
1. Identify the curricular approaches and strategies that the teacher is using. Which of
the following approaches did you observe:
Integrative modes of teaching (thematic teaching, content-based instruction,
focusing inquiry or generic competency model);
Collaborative teaching strategies (case studies, discussions, student-
moderated, debates, collaborative writing, collaborative presentation, games,
demonstration, etc.);
Application of life skills;
Application of valuing process; and
Activities that address multiple intelligences
2. How did the students respond in the class?

4. What suggestions can you give to improve the strategy?
During the class discussion, the teacher tends to do the talking most of the time. If we
are going to compare the length of time she talks and the amount of time the students recite
we would be shocked to find out that she is actually delivering a lecture. The class is very
much teacher dominated.
As you observe a class, find out how students interact in the discussion.
1. What interactive activities were done in the class? How? List down at least five (5).
2. If you are the teacher, how will you make the lesson more learner-centered instead
teacher-dominated?

Interview at least three (3) teachers in the school you are visiting.
Ask them: How does ______ factor affect the skills of the teacher in implementing the
curriculum?

Reflection (part 3)
Part 4: Textbooks and Other Supporting Materials
Procedure:
1. On the grade level that you ate observing, request a copy of the textbooks and
other support materials they are using for your evaluation.
2. Reflect on how the textbook and other support materials help in implementing the
curriculum.
The Textbooks are tools for instruction. They are the curriculum translations into
manageable classrooms.
What are the textbooks/workbooks that the students are using? Classify them into the
different learnings areas.
1. What other instructional materials/references are used if the textbooks are not
sufficient?
2. What scheme does the teacher employ to remedy the lack of textbooks in his/her
class?
1. What do you think are the factors to be considered when choosing textbooks?
With the birth of K to 12, the former handbooks for learning competencies are the
Philippine Elementary Learning Competencies (PELC) and Philippine Secondary Learning
Competencies (PSLC). Investigate if there a new handbook for learning competencies under
the K to 12 curriculum. It should contain the objectives that determine the contents of the
lesson as well as the strategies, assessment, and procedures to use.
Get a copy of the K to 12 under the learning area that you are observing and go
through it.
Look through the K to 12 Curriculum Guide. Observe the horizontal sequence from
one grade level to another.

Episode 3
An Assessment
The curriculum serves as guide to teaching. However, the teacher needs to adjust the
curriculum to the actual circumstances and needs of the learners.
The curriculum may undergo some revisions or changes during the implementation.
That is why there is a need to have a continuous assessment of the attainment of its goals.
Indeed, curriculum development is a never-ending process.
