Based on the cases presented, in Case 9, the curricularist is acting as a curriculum writer and planner. They are attending a writeshop to create lesson exemplars for teaching science in Grade 7. They draw on their experiences as a science teacher and knowledge of the subject matter to produce these lesson exemplars.
In Case 10, the curricularist is acting as a curriculum implementer. They are recognizing their own limited knowledge in certain areas of science and requesting team teaching to ensure that students receive a comprehensive education in science. By requesting team teaching, they are ensuring that the curriculum guidelines of teaching science in a spiral manner are implemented effectively.

Instructions: Identify on the blanks provided who am I as a Curricularist based on the cases presented.And explain your answer
Case 9: My principal asked me to attend a writeshop to make the lesson exemplars in the teaching of science in Grade 7. In the workshop, I used my experiences as a science teacher for ten years, and my knowledge of the subject matter. At the end of three days, I was able to produce lesson exemplars which I am proud of.
Case 10: From grade 7 to grade 10 of the K to 12 Enhanced Curriculum, science as a subject is presented, taught and learned in a spiral manner. This is part of the DepEd implementing guidelines of the curriculum. I am a Biology major, and I have insufficient knowledge about the other areas of science such as Physics and Earth Science. Because of this dilemma, I have to request the principal that we have team teaching. Which role of the curricularist, am I trying to do?
