Self Reflect:

1. Is it necessary for teachers to learn about school curriculum? Why?

Write your answers on the space provided below.
It is really necessary for teachers to learn about school curriculum
simply because, teachers cannot teach without curriculum.
Curriculum is very important because without that, therell be no
education. Schools or universities cannot exist without curriculum. It
has become a dynamic process due its changes. In the absence of
a curriculum, students cannot connect with different resources and
teachers on the other hand, can learn and be a better teachers. The
curriculum gives a lot of impacts not only for the teachers, but for the
students as well. Students may be more motivated to study if they
understand why certain subjects are taught in the curriculum. The
curriculum also bring students into higher stakes on the right track in
reaching their goals and desires. For the teachers, a schools
curriculum informs teachers what skills must be taught at each grade
level to ultimately prepare them for the next level. These are the
reasons why curriculum should be on the top.
