School-based curriculum development incorporates teachers into the process of curriculum development, meaning that teachers are given a degree of professional autonomy to develop a curriculum that is better suited to the needs of the school and its students. The local, contemporary, and personalized approach to school-based curriculum development will make it richer, but there is also the problem of teachers being ill-prepared to participate in curriculum development. It is worth exploring how teachers can move from the traditional focus on “how to teach” to a balance between “what to teach” and “how to teach”. This means that teachers should change roles from being passive implementers of the curriculum to being developers and researchers of the curriculum. School-based curriculum development requires teachers to deepen their understanding of the content of the curriculum, become familiar with the basic models of current curriculum development, and make good use of critical thinking.
