the curriculum. Teachers help in planning and
writing the content of the curriculum. This is to
make sure that students learn what they are
supposed to learn. After the curriculum has been
planned and written, we also evaluate it and look
for something that needs correction or revision so
that when we implement it in our own classroom,
we are sure that we give our students meaningful
learning experience.

Findings: (Write the salient forms in bulleted

form).

 As an early childhood teacher, you will be challenged to find new

experiences to share with children. Guide children, do not lead them, and
move in a direction that interests the child. As a guide, allow the child to
choose their learning and playing style while making safety your number
one concern!
 Become a partner in learning and encourage children to find their own
answers instead of providing the answers for them. By being a partner,
teachers learn with the children and share in their experiences.
 Early childhood teachers support learning by providing activities and
materials that children find engaging. By facilitating learning, supplying a
developmentally appropriate environment, interesting materials, and
adequate time to explore, play, and interact, children find learning easy and
fun!
 Paperwork, lesson planning, preparing materials and the environment, and
negotiating require teachers to have strong management skills. Managing
a classroom requires organizational skills, attention to detail, and
commitment.
 MY reflection/insights

Aware of the roles of teachers as a

curricularist,
How do you perceive your role
as a curricularist?
As a future teacher, I must be aware of my role as a
curricularist who in order for me to have a successful and
effective teaching. As a curricularist, I should know and be
familiar about the curriculum being recommended by the
experts such as DepEd or CHED. I should assure that I
studied the content I am going to teach my students. I
should plan the curriculum or content I am going to teach in
order for me to have it as my guide in teaching. I should be
creative in implementing the curriculm and be flexible of
changes as curriculum is dynamic and normally changing
depending on the needs or problems that should be catered.
Lastly, as a curricularist, I must evaluate the curriculum
using different assessments in order to be sure that my
students learned meaningfully.
