If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this HOD Science listing is usually welcome." }, { "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Science role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Science — Saraswati Paradise International Public School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "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": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?", "a": "Most schools expect weekly lesson plans submitted to the coordinator/HOD, plus unit plans at the start of each term.
