Analysis 

1.      How important is involvement of all stake holders of the school in the school’s programs and activities?

The involvement of teacher, students, parents, curriculum administrators and managers, and community members has a powerful influence to the success of the school’s programs and activities. When parents are involved in school’s programs and activities, they can help in giving brilliant ideas on how the programs and activities become more intellectual and challenging for the students. They can also help in covering some of the expenses in the programs and activities.

The involvement of teachers and students is highly needed because teachers could serve as a facilitator and students are the key participants in school’s programs and activities. The choice of the activities, the methods to be utilized, and the materials to be used is one of the considerations that the teachers should have in curricular implementation.

The involvement of a curriculum administrators and managers is of great help in approving the school’s programs and activities. They have a great concern about what kind of curriculum their schools offer and how these are implemented.

2.      What specific principle of curriculum development justifies the importance of cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders of the school?

Stakeholders have the power to grant or decline all programs in the school. If they do not get involved in the activities and programs, there are probably no activities that will be implemented at all. It is important that they participate in the planning so that they would find out if the activity or program proposed is necessary or not. Since they hold the highest position, they are the ones who allocate the budget for the proposals. Stakeholders need to understand perfectly the goals of these proposals because if not, they could just turn down a very important program because of the high cost or sometimes, it could go the other way around; they could implement unnecessary programs because of low cost, it does not only waste effort but time and money as well. Also by being involved in these events, parents see how much the school is dedicated for their children’s learning. If everyone in the school is involved in the learning of the students, it reflects a good school.

 Reflection

v  Cooperation fosters learning. Two heads are better than one. People enjoy, functioning interdependently but they also enjoy functioning independently. The interactive process appears to people’s curiosity, potential and creativity, thus as people invest themselves in collaborative group approaches they develop a firmer sense of their own identification. They begin to realize that they count, that they have something to give and to learn.

 

v  The school stakeholders must be able to maintain a good working relationship with each other.  That is why there must be no room for any mistakes in an environment where student’s learning might be jeopardized. We are all aware that no one is really perfect, that is why we must join our heads together to come up with ideas for the betterment of the school.

 

 

v  The school cannot function solely as a single entity without the help and support of the people around it. In order to be effective and serve the purpose the school aimed for in the first place, it should consider the expectations, the needs and aspirations of the society and the learners themselves provide learning experiences and activities and skills of the student. In the same manner, agencies and other institutions outside the school should work hand in hand with the school, providing insights and opportunities and support, updating the school with the current trends in the society.
