    The Importance of Teachers Involvement in Curriculum Development

    Without doubt, the most important person in the curriculum implementation process is the
    teacher. With their knowledge, experiences and competencies, teachers are central to any
    curriculum development effort. Better teachers support better learning because they are most
    knowledgeable about the practice of teaching and are responsible for introducing the
    curriculum in the classroom. If another party has already developed the curriculum, the
    teachers have to make an effort to know and understand it. So, teachers should be involved in
    curriculum development. 4

    For example, teacher’s opinions and ideas should be incorporated into the curriculum for
    development. On the other hand, the curriculum development team has to consider the
    teacher as part of the environment that affects curriculum . Hence, teacher involvement is
    important for successful and meaningful curriculum development. Teachers being the
    implementers are part of the last stage of the curriculum development process.
