Role of Coordinators as Curriculum and Instructional Managers

The study sought to assess the role of subject coordinators in curriculum and instruction management of the basic education, elementary and secondary levels of Colegio de San Juan de Letran. The purpose of the study is to assess the role of subject coordinators in curriculum management to closely monitor the implementation of curriculum instruction and improve curriculum delivery. The study used the descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised seven (7) subject coordinators and 25 faculty members of the basic education department. The measuring instruments used were survey questionnaires for teachers and for subject coordinators. Data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The study established that most subject coordinators were often times engaging in their roles on curriculum and instruction management, teaching and learning resources were available but not adequate for use, subject coordinators were discussing issues on curriculum instructions with staff during area meetings, and school motivated the staff members by delegating responsibilities to them, consulting them regularly, recognizing their achievements and appreciating their work. The study recommends that subject coordinators should improve on frequency of visiting lesson sessions, checking teachers notes or plans, inviting teachers to observe him/her teach and check students’ tasks to ensure monitoring and maintain quality assurance
