curriculum requires the open mindedness of the teacher, and the full belief

an excellent teacher. Six, implementer, a teacher should give life to the
curriculum plan. It is where the teaching, guiding, facilitating skills of the
teacher are expected at the highest level. Seven, Evaluator, teacher should
