Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan." }, { "q": "What non-teaching duties are expected?", "a": "Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term." }, { "q": "What is the average Academic Coordinator salary in Kodaikanal?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Academic Coordinator roles in Kodaikanal.
