Instructions: Identify on the blanks provided who am I as a Curricularist based on the cases presented.And explain your answer

Case 1: I have a good idea on how to make my learners pay attention to the lesson. I will use the new idea and find out if it will work.

Case 2: DepEd sent the standards, competencies and guidelines in teaching the Mother Tongue in Grade 1 in our school. I will study and use it in the coming school year.

Case 3: There is so much to do in one school day. I seem not able to do all, but I have, to accomplish something for my learners. I have made a daily activity plan to guide me.

Case 4: I need a poem to celebrate the World Teachers' Day.

I composed one to be used in my class in Literature.

Case 5: My class is composed of learners from different home background and culture. I cannot use a "one-size-fits all strategy" in teaching so I can respond to the diverse background. In my readings, I discovered that there are ways of teaching. I tried one myself and it worked.

Case 6: Knowledge is limitless. What I learned in college is not enough. I need to know more, so I enrolled in the graduate school to advance my learning.

Case

7: At the end of the year, my performance as a teacher is reflected in the school performance of my students. So I need to provide a monitoring tool to measure how they are progressing. The result will inform me how I will address my learners' weakness and enhance their strengths.

Case

8: I am teaching in a very far away barangay with no electricity yet. Many of the instructional aids for teaching sent to our school are films and video tapes which need power. I cannot use them, but the lessons are very important. So I thought of making an alternative activity. I took my class to the river and waterfall instead of doing the lesson.
