Approaches to Curriculum Design

In order us to understand the responsibilities and importance of our teachers and all the duties in our school, we should know the factors with it.

1.Who teaches? - The Teacher 
               Quality Education requires quality teachers. Good teachers bring a shining light into the learning environment. They are ideal companions of the learners. With the advances in communication technology, good teachers are needed to sort out the information from the data that surround the learners. Good teachers are needed to sort out the knowledge from the information but even more important, excellent teachers are needed to sort the wisdom from the knowledge. institutions are as good as its teachers, hence, the right individuals who are expected to be recruited- are those with excellent and relevant preparation. These teachers should be given support with their continuing development in order to keep abreast with the changing demands of a learning society.

2.  Who do the teachers teach? - The Learners
              The learners are at the center stage in the educative process. They are the most important factors in the learning environment. There is no teaching without them. Hence, teachers should understand and accept the learner's diverse background. Each one of them is a unique individual. They come from different sectors of society of different cultural background, socio-economic profile, orientation and varied experiences. Considering the domain of diversity of learners will allow the individual learner to develop his multiple intelligences at his own pace. Hence, their needs should be addressed and be met that's why teachers are to provide learning opportunities and varied expe-riences.

3. What do the teachers teach? - Knowledge, Skills, Values

             "To help the learners cope with rapid changes to understand and to succeed in the new work in the workplace, we must design a curriculum oriented to tomorrow." It should be remembered that what students learn will be obsolete in ten years, and half of what they need to know to succeed in work and in life has not yet been fully developed and will see these being replaced. And so, the value of the educational process lies not just in what they learn, but how they learn, and how good they will be in continuing to learn after they leave school.
