Introduction
To start with, there is no doubt in the fact that curriculum forms an important part of the
whole learning process. A sound curriculum offers teachers, students, community
stakeholders and administrators a quantifiable plan and framework intended towards making
available quality education (Carl, 2009). Moreover, the curriculum basically recognizes the
learning outputs, standards as well as key abilities, which students need to exhibit prior to
advancing towards the subsequent level (Ellis, 2014). Teachers perform an important part in
devising, executing, evaluating and making changes to the curriculum. It has been observed
that an evidenced-based curriculum works like a road map for students and teachers for
following the path towards academic accomplishment (Shiro, 2012). The chief objective of
an effective educational initiative and therefore, sound curriculum development must be to
encounter the requirements and present needs of the culture, the community and the beliefs of
the populace that is being targeted (Chantal et. al., 2013). As a result, curriculum
development along with the educational reform procedure constantly goes through review
and modification.
Additionally, curriculum development could prove as being a challenging task, thus the
participation of all the stakeholders, particularly people who are directly engaged within
student instruction, are an important aspect in effective curriculum development as well as
modification (Glickman et. al., 2014). Curriculum development could be simply described as
the step-by-step procedure adopted for creating positive enhancements in the courses
provided through any school, college or university. The globe modifies daily and fresh
discoveries must be integrated within the education curricula. Ground-breaking teaching
approaches and techniques (like active or blended learning) are continuously being developed
for improving learning experience of the student. Thus, the educational institution must have
in place a plan for effectively acknowledging such shifts and then be capable of
implementing them in the curriculum. The manner in which ones understands and theorizes
about curriculum at the present time has changed considerably with passing years. Currently,
the most effective meaning of the term “curriculum” is the subjects including a course of
study at universities, schools or colleges (Ornstein and Hunkins, 2009).
Without a shred of doubt, the highly significant individual involved in the curriculum
implementation procedure is the teacher or instructor. Superior instructors assist superior
learning for the reason that they are highly well-informed with respect to the teaching

practice and are accountable for bringing together the curriculum within the class. In case if
other group has already devised the curriculum, the instructors require making effort for
knowing and understanding it (Handler, 2010). As a result, teachers must be engaged during
the curriculum development process. For instance, teacher’s views and perceptions must be
integrated into the curriculum for ensuring development. In contrary, the curriculum
development panel must take into consideration the teacher as fraction of the surroundings,
which have an effect upon the curriculum (Johnson, 2001). Henceforth, teachers’
participation is vital for meaningful and successful curriculum development. Additionally,
teachers being the main curriculum implementers are fraction of the final phase of the
curriculum development procedure. Further, considering the above discussion the following
sections of the paper are directed towards providing reflection of the intended curriculum and
enacted curriculum with respect to “people in organization”. Also, the paper makes use of
Eisner’s Orientations for Intended and Implemented Curriculum with the view to acquire
superior knowledge with respect to the selected subject.
The Intended Curriculum
The main purpose of this particular subject is offering detailed insight of the significant
spheres associated with the varied relationship among the individuals within the place of
work. The curriculum intends to examine conception of individual along with team
individuality in terms of changing nature of work and employee relationships. It involves a
comprehensive tactic towards human associations, probing various different aspects of
managers' behaviour at work and privately along with identifying their interdependence. In
addition, the curriculum intends to throw light upon diverse aspects of human behaviour,
leadership, individual identity, values, self-respect, interpersonal management, intrapersonal,
team competence and finally, emotional intelligence. The next section of the curriculum
makes use of the information for the investigating prevailing concerns confronted through the
managers such as changing organisational trends, diversity of the global workplace, work-life
balance and personal career development.
The Intended Course and Subject learning outcomes
Being a learner it is considered as being extremely important for one to precisely understand
course learning outcomes related to any specific subject or curriculum. After successfully
