The role of teachers in curriculum development extends beyond the planning stage and plays a crucial part in its implementation. This article aims to analyze and gain an in-depth understanding of teachers' roles as implementers in educational curriculum development. The discussion focuses on four key aspects: teachers as curriculum implementers in the classroom, providers of feedback, agents of change, and the challenges they face along with strategies to strengthen their roles. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method by examining relevant sources. In classroom practice, teachers actively adapt and apply curriculum content to meet students' needs. As feedback providers, they offer valuable insights to stakeholders regarding curriculum effectiveness and areas for improvement. Additionally, teachers serve as agents of change by driving innovation and renewal in teaching practices. However, they also encounter various internal and external challenges that make their role increasingly complex. This article emphasizes the importance of recognizing and empowering teachers at every stage of curriculum development to establish a responsive and sustainable education system.

This study aims to examine the parenting patterns adopted by single parents in the Islamic religious education of their children in Ampung Julu Village, Batang Natal Subdistrict, Mandailing Natal Regency. The research background stems from the growing phenomenon of single-parent families, which presents challenges in religious education. This is a qualitative descriptive study employing data collection methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that single parents apply various parenting styles, including authoritarian, permissive, and democratic. The main challenges include limited time and dual responsibilities as both breadwinners and educators. Nevertheless, some single parents successfully nurture their children in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of Islamic education through exemplary conduct, habituation, advice, supervision, and other Islamic-based methods. The study concludes that active involvement of single parents, despite limitations, still has a positive impact on the development of their children's Islamic religious education.

In the second cycle, the number of students achieving the passing grade sharply increased to 28 students (100%) with an average score of 84.92. These results demonstrate that differentiated learning effectively enhances student engagement and mathematics achievement in the XI Automotive class at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Sleman during the 2024/2025 academic year

Presentations are the ability to transfer knowledge effectively. Microsoft PowerPoint is a robust and reliable presentation software. The skill of presenting information visually and engagingly is no longer just a supplementary ability; it's key to developing students' critical thinking, creativity, and communication effectiveness.However, at SMP  Ibrahimy 3, a significant gap has been identified in female students' mastery of the PowerPoint application. Varying levels of understanding and limited access to computers result in suboptimal, less interactive presentations that fail to convey information effectively. This situation directly hinders the students' academic potential in various learning activities, from project assignments to group discussions.Therefore, efforts to improve proficiency in using Microsoft PowerPoint are crucial to equip students with relevant and essential digital skills in the current era.

Household waste management is a solution to support environmental sustainability. Eggshells, which have a high calcium carbonate content and can be used as organic fertilizer, constitute a waste that can be recovered. This article discusses the community service activities carried out in Pasar Rawa Village, Gebang District, Langkat Regency, with the aim of educating the community on how to use eggshells as organic fertilizer. This activity was carried out in three main stages, namely guidance to provide basic knowledge, direct training to practice making organic fertilizer from eggshells, and discussions to deepen understanding and answer to questions from the community. The results of the activity showed that the community was enthusiastic to participate in the training and that most participants were able to process eggshells into organic fertilizer independently. In addition to raising public awareness of the importance of waste management, this activity also has economic and environmental benefits. It is hoped that this program can be the first step towards building a culture of sustainable community waste management.

Plastic waste has become an urgent environmental problem worldwide. Plastic offers many benefits, its environmental impact and long-lasting nature require responsible use, recycling and disposal practices to reduce negative impacts on the environment. Environmental cleanliness is a shared responsibility for both children and adults. In the midst of these challenges, creative initiatives such as Ecobricks have emerged as solutions that have the potential to reduce the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment. One area that strives to create beauty and environmental awareness is Cibiyuk. Through Ecobricks training, Cibiyuk residents can learn how to reduce plastic waste and create a cleaner and more beautiful environment together. This training activity was carried out together with village officials, PKK mothers, RT heads, and the entire Cibiyuk village community. The training participants were very enthusiastic about this activity. The material is presented in an interesting way. PKK mothers also participated so that the community became more enthusiastic about making ecobricks. Ecobricks themselves have a function not to destroy plastic waste, but to extend the life of these plastics by processing them into something useful, which can be used for the benefit of humans in general. Unfortunately, the manufacture of ecobricks is still not very popular among the general public so that most people still treat used plastic as household plastic waste, pollute the environment, rivers and pollute everyday life without any self-awareness
