Clinical Field Experience A: Strengthening Curricular Programs
During my interview with three principal candidates, I was able to ask each of them about
their roles and responsibilities, and their areas of expertise. They were quite happy to talk about
their respective roles and their districts' development policies and curriculum.
How do you use the school's vision and mission in making instructional decisions for your
school?
The three leaders emphasized that the vision and mission of my schools are the driving
factors that influence the decisions that are made in our school. They also stated that meeting the
needs of our students is a key component of the process. The goal of this program is to instill a
positive mindset, cultivate respectful and ethical attitudes, and ensure the safety of all students. It
aims to inspire students to become community leaders and learners.
As leaders, we are responsible for preparing students for the world of work after high
school. We also encourage them to become responsible members of their local community.
Through our decisions, the students will be able to develop their independent thinking and solve
problems. Decisions about the instruction of students are made to help them develop the
necessary skills to succeed in this world. Leaders are also assigned to monitor and guide the
teachers.
Describe your major functions and activities relating to curriculum design and
development.
They all agreed that the activities and functions related to curriculum align with the
requirements of the CIP. During the review, they gather data about the students to develop a
curriculum design that will be used for the upcoming school year. During the previous year's
review, the teachers evaluated our achievements and talked about what we could improve upon
in the next year. They also looked at what other targets we should aim for and how we can
achieve them using the curriculum.
What effect does the school’s CIP have on curricular decisions?
According to them, the decision-making process regarding the curriculum's
implementation is influenced by the goals of the CIP. The choices are based on the input from all
the stakeholder groups, as well as the needs of the students. But the decisions regarding
curriculum-based assessments are also measured based on the students' quarterly progress.
Who is involved in making and implementing changes to the curriculum and curricular
systems? How are they involved and what collaboration takes place?
The curriculum design process is based on the previous year's CIP. Data collected from
the end-of-year surveys and parent satisfaction surveys are also used to create the curriculum. As
a public school district, we are required to meet the state's accreditation and guidelines. The
creation of the curriculum is facilitated by a collaboration among various stakeholder groups,
such as teachers, parents, students, and community leaders. After gathering information about the
program's requirements, a committee composed of the school's administrative and staff members
will then develop a plan for implementation. Once the standards have been established, the
teachers then take them into account and develop the lessons that will be taught in the classroom.
The administration also works with the teachers to guide them through the curriculum
development process. While the students are being taught, the teachers and administration gather
data about their learners' progress.
