Reflection #4
Teachers as Curriculum Designers
“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”
― Socrates
Being a teacher is considered to be a curriculum designer. In every lesson plan he/she makes, it is making one to be a designer for it has been defined that a simple demonstration of a curriculum is a simple yet precise lesson plan. As teachers are designers, he/she has to devise the lesson plan according to the needs of the children he/she is to teach to.
To Socrates, youth of today's generation have terrible, dreadful, horrific manners, dislike for authority, disregards elders; they replaced physical fitness into the habit of gossiping; they don't even know how to bless or greet elders nowadays; they argue with parents and even bully, oppress, dictate, dominate their teachers. Therefore, this generation has a need to a great extent.
Since teachers in fundamental years are very essential, they then become models to these youth. Due to the fact that teachers became a part in their basic years, they have to carefully design a lesson that caters the needs of these youth. Since teachers are also well thought-out to have somehow mold someone's mind, they need to be sensitive also.
Before one can become an educator, teacher, instructor, mentor, one has to have some principles to act out as they hands on with children or learners. One is being shaped, attributed to the attitude of these principles, whether philosophical or psychological. I believe these principles help us to invent, create, formulate, work out some ideas that will gratify our students needs.
