The Roles of Stakeholders in Curriculum Implementation
Introduction:
Principals are responsible for facilitating their school's interactions with parents and others in the school community. This responsibility includes working with parents when disciplinary issues arise, when students are not succeeding academically, and when parents have concerns.
Situation: In one school, the parents got so involved that collectively, they interfered with the transfer of the classroom location because they have contributed so much to its improvement. The school authorities sustained a position that the school plant plan should be honored. The Parent Association has invested in the improvement of the classrooms, but the school’s administration’s plan should be upheld. Anyway, the classes will be transferred to equally good classrooms that would enhance learning. Because of the school’s decision, the parents threatened to pull out their children. If you are the principal of the school, how would you handle the situation?
Reflection:
If I would be the principal, I should call the parents first. They should be well informed of the reason why there is a need for the said transfer. With proper information, I think the parents will be able to understand the importance of following the school plant. And as the principal, I would focus on the benefit of the students. It is the primary responsibility of the principal to ensure the safety and well-being of the school children. With these, there will be good learning environment to enhance the students learning outcomes.
Conclusion:
It is important during these types of conflicts to have good communication. In that way, we can respond to conflicts, feedbacks and criticisms appropriately.
Recommendation: I recommend that the school administrator’s should have regular meetings with the parents to update and inform them of the latest issues concerning their children and the school. The parent’s also must take an active part in the regular PTA Meetings to be
