Curriculum planning is a continuous process that involves collaboration between individuals and groups to develop and improve the total learning environment planned by the school. Effective curriculum planning is key to educational success. Curriculum planning aims to build well-coordinated teaching, learning, and assessment programs to develop students' knowledge, skills, and behaviors through academic disciplines and personal and social development. Curriculum planning occurs at three levels - policy, programs, and lessons - and involves input from teachers, principals, parents, students, and external facilitators. Regular curriculum planning ensures shared vision, understanding, coverage of subject areas, continuity of learning, development of student understanding, and improved learning outcomes.

Curriculum planning is a continuous process which involves activities
characterized by interrelationships among individuals and groups as they work together in studying, planning, developing and improving the curriculum which is total environment planned by the school. Effective curriculum planning and decision-making process is key to the success of educational programs.
and assessment programmes which build students’ knowledge, skills and behaviours in the disciplines, as well as their interdisciplinary and or physical, personal and social capacities. A good curriculum planning in schools often requires overcoming many obstacles. The only certainty about curriculum implementation is that there is no one right way of going about it for all teachers in all school. There are three levels of curriculum planning: the planning of policies, the planning of programs, and the planning of lessons. We will focus on how planning by teachers actually proceeds in individual schools, and in so doing, we examine in detail the contributions made to curriculum planning by people often referred to as key stakeholders. Key stakeholders include teachers, principals, parents, students and external facilitators--all the people who for personal or professional reasons ordinarily have the strongest interests in planning.
Curriculum Planning Ensures:
*To differentiate among three levels at which curriculum planning occurs
in schools: policy, programs and lessons.
*To reflect on the backgrounds, priorities, and skills ordinarily brought
to curriculum planning by key stakeholders, especially teachers, principals, parents, students and external facilitators.
*To become familiar with the major problems involved in curriculum
implementation.
*To understand the implications of the ideas of fidelity of curriculum
implementation and adaptation in curriculum implementation.
*To ensure a shared vision
*Shared understandings and a common language in the school
community.
*Optimum coverage of all domains within the curriculum.
*Continuity of learning between domains across your levels.
*The full ranges of learning needs of students are addressed.
*Students are given opportunities to develop deep understanding.
*Cohesiveness in teaching, learning and assessment practices.
*Elimination of repetition of learning activities without depth or breadth
across levels.
*Improved student learning outcomes.
*To critically reflect on the basic ideas that underlies research on
curriculum implementation.
*To critically reflect on some common approaches that has been used in schools to support the process of curriculum implementation.
Conclusion
Our school’s curriculum is all the planned activities that we organise in
order to promote learning, and personal growth and development. It includes not only the formal requirements of the New Curriculum 2016, but also the various extra-curricular activities that the school organises in order to enrich the children’s experience. It also includes the ‘hidden curriculum’ – what the children learn from the way they are treated and expected to behave. We want children to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and cooperate with others while at the same time developing their knowledge and skills, in order to achieve their true potential. It is underpinned by the values that we hold dear at our school. The curriculum is the means by which the school achieves its objective of educating children in the knowledge, skills and understanding that they need in order to lead fulfilling lives.
