    "Participate in weekly department meetings and PD sessions.",
    "Lead one co-curricular activity or club for the section.",
    "Mentor a homeroom group and stay in regular touch with their parents.",
    "Set, conduct and grade periodic tests and unit assessments."

    {
      "id": "board-context",
      "heading": "Working in a CBSE school",
      "body": "This school follows the **CBSE** framework, so expect continuous and comprehensive assessment, NEP-aligned competency questions, and a strong emphasis on subject enrichment activities."

  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?",
      "a": "For most K-12 teaching positions a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations; pre-primary and special-skill roles sometimes accept relevant certification in lieu. Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do I have to work weekends?",
      "a": "As this is a residential/boarding school, expect a rotational weekend duty roster on top of the regular week. The exact roster depends on your house and section."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do I need CTET / STET to apply?",
      "a": "CTET is mandatory for KVS/NVS and many CBSE schools, and a strong plus for private schools. Some IB/Cambridge schools weigh it less than relevant pedagogy training."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days. If you don't hear back in two weeks, the role has usually been filled or paused — keep applying to similar openings in the meantime."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the average TGT Social Studies salary in Kolkata?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to TGT Social Studies roles in Kolkata. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Career & Courses?",
      "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is accommodation provided?",
      "a": "Accommodation is typically included for residential staff — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this TGT Social Studies role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"TGT Social Studies — Career & Courses\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
