Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions, adapted from the Stages of Concern dimension of the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM), which were conducted with three teachers (two from Infants level and one from Standard One). It was found that teachers had many self and task concerns, whereas for impact concerns the issue was about a lack of collaboration, since the new curriculum requires team work.enTeacher attitudesPrimary school teachersCase studiesPrimary school curriculumCurriculum implementationConcernsTrinidad and TobagoThesis
