School Curriculum Development Committees (SCDCs) have historically played significant roles in driving curriculum reform within K-12 schools. However, there is a lack of research focusing on the social dynamics of their reform efforts. This study addresses this gap by investigating the interpersonal dynamics of SCDCs within the context of the curriculum reform framework, known as the 108 Curriculum Guidelines. Using a social network approach supported by qualitative evidence, the research examines multi-year school network data and explores the advice-seeking network structure of SCDC members, their positions within the school network, changes in their network patterns, and how SCDCs shape their networks to support curriculum reform. The results reveal a consistent growth in SCDC network activity, indicating an increased capacity to engage within both the SCDC network and the broader school network. Qualitative evidence provides insights into the organizational conditions for professional interactions and knowledge sharing among SCDC members and teachers across the school. These supportive conditions facilitate lateral communications, foster shared understanding of curriculum reform, and engage teachers in collective curriculum development. The study’s findings have implications for practice, research, and policy. |
