Perspectives on Curriculum

In class we discussed the roots of curriculum and how we look at the roles of teachers and students. I met with a group of teachers in my school to discuss "isms" and where they see the curriculum, themselves and the students. Every single teacher saw curriculum from a different ism compared to their role.

We also looked at the "daunting" task of working your way through the curriculum guide. There are very different perspectives on how the curriculum is viewed from a teacher in her second year of teaching compared to a teaching of 20+ years of experience. Departmental exams are intimidating for teachers to ensure coverage of all objectives. If it is so important or non accredited teachers to cover all objectives, how do we ensure accredited teachers also cover all objectives?
