Issues on varied implementation of the curriculum
among schools and teachers seem to be one of the
reasons for the prevailing low performance of schools
over the country. There is a perennial complaint about
books and other instructional materials, overcrowded
classrooms and teacher has been identified as one of
the influencing factors in the varied implementation if
the curriculum.
3. -The implementers lack full
understanding of the changes or
modification that they are doing. The
goal is unclear and there are lot of
questions in the implementation and
evaluation.

-After a new curriculum has been
implemented, it is left unattended
-Teachers get tired easily and the
motivation is very low. They would still prefer
the good old days and stick with it.
-Changes may falter along the way because
the people involved are not empowered.

innovation that tries to address the
continuous decline in learners’
performance. Some schools have now
elevated the national achievement
performance. It is because the DepEd is
trying to provide support to its
implementation.
7. In the installation of a new curriculum or
innovation, all stakeholders should be
involved. Even in planning stage, consultations
should be held. This process will provide each
interested sector or person to make decision as
to whether the innovation will be introduced or
not.
There is a need to respond to the fast changing
times in terms of school curriculum
innovations. The steps should be well planned
and well-studied.
8. New curricular programs have now embedded
monitoring and evaluation in its plan. On the
school-based innovations, principals have been
empowered to conduct monitoring and new
curricular programs. It is part of the curricular
leadership roles.
Collaboration in the implementation of a new
curriculum is very necessary. There must be a
continuous communication of the different
aspects of the innovation. If it is done, there will
always be an assurance of success.
