The 12-Year Basic Education Curriculum Guidelines were officially implemented in August 2019. This study aims to examine how a rural senior high school in southern Taiwan promotes and implements these guidelines. The objectives are threefold: (1) to understand the school’s current status and specific needs in implementing the curriculum; (2) to explore the roles and responsibilities of the principal, administrative leaders, and teaching staff; and (3) to summarize key experiences, challenges, and strategies adopted during the implementation process. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews and observations. Six participants, including the principal, directors, and teachers, were interviewed across ten sessions. After the process of data analysis, the findings indicate the following: First, the school has developed distinctive programs, such as the TW Program and the Bilingual Technology Class, to retain local junior high graduates and strengthen its identity. Second, the school faces challenges, including teacher turnover, geographic isolation, and students with lower academic motivation, which hinder its ability to offer a diverse range of elective courses and support the development of learning portfolios. Third, curriculum leadership follows a distributed model: the principal provides direction and external resources, middle level leaders coordinate policies and support systems, and teachers actively contribute through professional engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration. Fourth, curriculum and instruction evaluation should transcend formalistic practices; beyond routine classroom observation feedback, it should emphasize systematic pedagogical reflection and the sustainable transmission of effective teaching practices. This study emphasizes the significance of strategic curriculum leadership and localized curriculum design in reforming rural education, providing practical implications for schools facing similar challenges under the 108 Curriculum Guidelines. |
