The Curriculum and the Teacher

Curriculum refers to lessons and academic content taught in a school or in specific course or
program. Curriculum is often defined as the courses offered by a school, but it is rarely used in such a
general senses in schools. Depending on how broadly define or employ the term, curriculum typically
refers to the knowledge and skills are expected to learn which includes the learning standards or
learning objectives they are expected to meet, the units and lessons that teachers teach, the
assignments and projects given to students; the books, materials, videos, presentations, and reading
used in a course, and the test, assessment and other methods used to evaluate students learning. An
individual teachers curriculum, for example, would be the specific learning standards, lessons,
assignments, and materials used to organize and teach a particular course. Teachers play a vital roles in
the lives of the students in their classrooms. Teachers are best known for the role of educating the
students that are placed in their care. Beyond that, teachers serve many other roles in the classroom.
Teachers set the tone of their classroom, build a warm environment, mentor, and nurture students,
become role models, and listen and look for signs of trouble.

The teachers help the students gain more insights to the standard they need to become
proficient . Anytime a teachers make an effort to understand their students interest, or how they learn
best, will pay big dividends in the end. When the teachers understands the interest of their students,
they are choose activities that help the students make connections between the concepts taught, and
how they will use it later in future. If a teacher has a classroom full of students who learn best by a
hands-on activity, and the teachers choice of instruction uses a lecture form of delivery, the students
are not going to learn the material very well. Conversely, if the teacher uses a hands- on approach to
help students learn the material, it is likely the students will be able to learn the material and be able to
recall it during the times of assessment. Assessment play a big role in the classroom. This how a the
teacher can know for sure if the students have successfully comprehend the information. The teacher
can use information help inform the next days lesson. When all students have successfully
demonstrated their understanding, the teacher can move to the next level of the lessons. But, other
teacher they dont give an opportunity to the students to express their understanding about the lesson.
They always talk an discuss the lessons but they do not give an example so that the learners can
understand well of what the teacher being discussed. For now, this traditional techniques change due to
modern techniques because the teacher let the students discuss the lesson and the teacher guide them
for the better. I learned that being a teacher is not easy because you sacrifice and the teach the students
until they can learn and understand their lessons as well as they can have a better a future someday.
