Abstract This study aims to examine the implementation of the Modified Curriculum at SD Muhammadiyah 2 Sidoarjo.
A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation.
The findings reveal that lesson planning, implementation, evaluation, and the challenges encountered are integral components of the curriculum implementation process.
In the planning phase, an initial needs assessment is conducted, followed by the development of a syllabus that includes setting learning objectives and preparing self-instructional modules.
During the implementation phase, learning activities are carried out in three stages: introductory, core, and closing, with differentiated classes.
In the evaluation phase, students receive support through enrichment programs, counseling, or assignments either individually or in groups.
The requirement to develop self-instructional modules in a very short time places a significant burden on teachers.

INTRODUCTION
Curriculum development is an instrument to improve the quality of education.
Education is an effort to create an environment where students can learn actively so that they can develop spiritual and religious strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, morals, life sciences, general knowledge, skills, and habits.
Education in Indonesia is undergoing continuous changes aimed at keeping up with the industrial world and the rapid development of science and technology.
Without change and improvement in quality, education will stagnate and be unproductive.
As a result, the education system must be designed to meet needs and developments.
In education there must be a curriculum, where the curriculum plays an important role in education.
The curriculum is a guideline or tool to achieve success in education.
If there is no curriculum in an educational unit, learning will not take place.
As a result, the government created a curriculum as a bridge to achieve educational goals.
The curriculum also functions as the basis for the nation's life and helps students become knowledgeable and moral people.
Asep Saefudin said that "Curriculum is a set of educational or learning plans and educational outcomes that must be achieved by students in teaching and learning activities, and empowerment of educational resources in developing the curriculum itself.
" (Hamid, 2012:.
Therefore, every part of the curriculum must be useful and function properly.
From supervision to evaluation requires developing students and increasing insight for 1598 | Implementation of Modified Curriculum at Muhammadiyah 2 Elementary School.
