Why teachers and curriculum planners need to anchor their curricular plans to specific theories and principles of curriculum development?

Any given curriculum in place in a school for a new academic year is highly important. It provides the whole programme for the year for each and every class level and every educational stage. It gives stability to a school's planning for the year and gives teachers a main idea of where they are heading with their students during that year. It provides a overview for the head of the school, and provides an important foundation for yet further planning for both educational supervisors and teachers.

Once a curriculum is in place, breakdowns can be made of this. These are called syllabuses and gives teachers an idea of what is to be taught in a given month, week etc.. Once the teachers receive these, they can then can start to break them down further in the form of lesson plans. This also makes sure all the teachers are keeping on the same educational stages. After having referred to the syllabuses, each week the teachers will follow the lesson plans they have prepared writing down the given objectives, educational methods to be used, time period, list of teaching aids and work sheets to be used or books pages to be read along with any other reinforcement activities etc.. They will also write an evaluation at the end of the day. The Lesson Planner keeps them organized, on the same track, and keeps the school's academic year organised, stable and running efficiently.
