2. CURRICULUM
IMPLEMENTATION
Focuses on the actual implementation of the
curriculum from the national level to the local
school context. It describes the dynamics of how
various curriculum workers strive to do their
functions in order to attain educational goals,
programs, and policies set by the country, region,
division, district, and down to the local school
level. Each of these levels has specific functions
to do.

3. CURRICULUM
WORKERS
The success or failure of any
curriculum depends on the
people working for its
implementation. Oliva (2005)
identified these people as
curriculum workers.

4. Teachers - the most visible among the curriculum
workers. Their roles as implementers of the curriculum
are very crucial. It is through their expertise, creativity,
and commitment that any curriculum success is
attributed.
Principals - the chief academic and administrative
officer of the school. They provide curricular and
instructional leadership and supervision to the
teachers and other school personnel in the local school
context.

5. Curriculum Consultants - individuals with a rich
experience on doing curriculum projects related to
curriculum planning, curriculum development, and
curriculum evaluation.
District Supervisors - responsible for supervising the
implementation of the curriculum in the district level.
They help public school principals in ensuring that the
programs of the Department of Education are
implemented in their respective schools.
CURRICULUM WORKERS

6. Education Supervisors - assigned to specific subject areas in
basic education. They help the district office of the
Department of Education in supervising the implementation of
projects and programs specific for each subject area.
Division Superintendents - the chief academic officer of each
division. They supervise the implementation of the DepEd
curriculum, programs, and projects in the division level for both
public and private schools. Usually, each province or a city is
considered a division for DepEd.
Regional Directors - manage the programs and projects of the
Department of Education in the regional level.

7. Education Program Specialists - work at the national
level or at the central offices of the Commission on
Higher Education and the Department of Education.

disciplines and fields that assist the Commission on
Higher Education in developing curriculum,
