The curriculum is the heart of education; it is essential that before adopting a new
curriculum, or any change that it fits the student population that is intended. The adaptation of
any new curriculum must meet all the learning needs of all its students. The districts must be
their independent research and pilot different schools within its campus to assess the new
curriculum. Once they review the data and determine the curriculum meets the learning needs of
their students, they move to the next step to meet with all stakeholders before implementation.
This paper will focus on assessing the curriculum (learning styles), meeting the needs of all its
students (human development), and all stakeholders (social force). This paper will reference the
textbook, curriculum leadership: Readings for developing quality educational programs. The law
passed in the early 2000s that no child would be left behind demands that all students receive an
equitable education. School leaders must consider when planning to change or implement a new
curriculum.
Social Forces
“Social forces in the economy, polity, and culture have contributed to shifts in the
structure of families, which are increasingly matters of choice rather than social prescriptions.
Marriage and partnering, more generally, have evolved from companionate to individualized
institutions; concerns for children and their wellbeing also reflect more considerable social
changes (Su, J. H. 2023)”. The education system in the U.S. has become, but it’s still behind in
serving every student's educational needs. A new curriculum must be introduced and updated at
least every five years; this is done to ensure that students are given the latest educational
strategies and keep students flowing with the current events and technological forces that shape
our environment. Even when research supports a curriculum and demonstrates its effectiveness

in other similar districts, another factor that has a high impact on student achievement is the
home environment of every student. Students' demographics are very different within the same
community. Some schools are zoned to households higher than the average person can afford,
and there are families zoned to schools where the apartment rent is below the nation's average.
This diversity makes it hard for students in the same district to learn at the same rate.
While some students have after-school tutors, others must work to help their parents put
food on their tables, and education is the last thing on their minds. There are other barriers other
than demographical differences, like English Learners and those who are new to the country and
have language walls to participate in adopting a new curriculum. Social and emotional awareness
is another social factor that can drive students from learning. Students with low social-emotional
understanding are likelier to drop out of school and have behavioral problems. In economically
disadvantaged sectors, students are exposed to more violent scenes, substance abuse, and gang
affiliations that will drive their decision to quit school and not make it a priority. These social
forces influence the decision of which curriculum best fits the needs of their students and how
meaningful it will be for those students. The objective is to ensure an equitable curriculum that
allows all students to learn and engage.
