The premise of study is that the support for the curriculum implementation should be based on the individual teacher. But if we do not identify the term `the individual teacher`, it is difficult to support teachers as individuals. Two approaches to the individual teacher are considered. One is the teacher`s personal concern, the other is the teacher`s personal knowledge. Teacher`s personal concern which is derived from the CBAM Model(the Concern-Based Adaption Model) has it`s basis on the technical model. In the process of research, curriculum development and diffusion(RD&D) in the technical model, teacher`s personal concern can be regarded as an important element to implement the developed curriculum successfully. In this case, the curriculum usually is developed by specialists out of schools, and the status of teachers is looked upon as a fundamentally passive one. After the stage of teacher`s concern evaluated, the appropriate approaches is given by outsiders for successful implementing the developed curriculum. Valued the identification the teacher`s concern in the diffusion procedure of the curriculum, teachers is alienated from the process of curriculum development and implementation In contrast to the teacher`s personal concern which based on the technical model, the teacher`s personal knowledge based on the hemeneutic approach. Taking into account the active construction of meaning, the extension of teacher`s autonomy and professional development, teacher`s personal knowledge should be considered as the focus of curriculum implementation. But the difficulty of understanding and interpretation of one`s experience, the long time required for understanding and the decision of meaningful experience, these are the limits of teacher`s personal knowledge for using the base of the support of curriculum implementation. Nevertheless, the understanding of teacher`s needs, the mutual understanding, the improvement of self-understanding and the structure of self-reflection can be accomplished by emphasizing the teacher`s personal knowledge. In order to better support teachers for understanding their own personal knowledge, the special program focusing on the self reflection should developed.
