AB - This study applied an autoethnographic approach to deeply examine the experience of using achievement standards in the process of developing and implementing a school curriculum by the lead teacher of curriculum & instruction at an elementary school. The researcher, who served in this role for four years from March 2020 to February 2024, critically and reflectively explored the use of achievement standards in shaping school curriculum practices. Data were collected from various sources, including curriculum-related documents, official records, personal notes, memos, and in-depth interviews with fellow teachers. The findings indicate that, as the lead teacher of curriculum & instruction, I actively used achievement standards to adapt teaching and learning materials to the school context, facilitate voluntary instructional improvements, integrate external educational programs with the curriculum, and develop a school-specific curriculum that reflects the institution’s unique characteristics, ultimately contributing to the qualitative enhancement of school education. Based on these findings, this study highlights three key implications of elementary school teachers’ use of achievement standards: first, enhancing flexibility in the organization and implementation of the school curriculum; second, fostering teacher collaboration and cultivating an environment conducive to professional growth; and third, serving as a foundational mechanism for advancing instructional practices.
