Odisha’s Premier CBSE School for Senior Secondary Studies

This is the universe of knowledge where we inculcate the sense of respect, honour, wisdom and dignity among students.

OVERVIEW

At ODM International School, Senior Secondary education is based on CBSE Curriculum. The major objective is to make students fundamentally clear about the concepts so that it will be helpful for them either in the competitive or in the future streams of academics. The teachers in the senior secondary department are widely experienced in providing CBSE teaching. The minimum teaching experience of any of our teachers is seven years. The average teaching experience of all our teachers is 12.5 years.

The children can choose from a wide variety of subjects. In our Science stream, English, Physics, and Chemistry are the three compulsory subjects. Apart from that, the children can choose any two subjects out of Mathematics, Biology, Computer Science and Physical Education as 4th and 5th Optional. Please note a combination of Biology and Comp. Sc is not allowed because of certain constraints.

Similarly, students study English, Economics, Business Studies, and Accountancy as the four main subjects in commerce. They can choose either Entrepreneurship or Physical Education as their 5th Optional. Along with these, all the Science and Commerce students are also provided with an option to choose the sixth option. Odissi and Painting are two subjects that are provided to the children. These subjects are provided to children to ensure a higher aggregate for them in the CBSE Boards.

Teaching & Learning Strategies

ODM International School has integrated classroom teaching with regular home assignments to develop self-discipline among students. In addition to this, there are regular graded worksheets that the students are required to complete and upload on the Learning Management System portal on ODMConnect. Finally, there is a planned approach for virtual as well as in-person doubt clearing followed by final examinations.

Daily Curriculum Plan

At the beginning of each academic year, a Daily Curriculum Plan is published for all subjects across classes. This helps bring about uniformity in the quality of sessions conducted by different teachers. These Plans are also shared with parents to keep them apprised of the academic proceedings.

Role of Class Mentors & POC

Class teachers are responsible for monitoring the progress of individual students. They engage in verbal communication with the parents fortnightly to keep track of the growth and development of the child beyond academics and maintain a record of the same. They are required to undertake hygiene activities such as marking daily attendance, and ensuring students are well groomed and in proper uniform. Class teachers also maintain a record of parents’ active contact numbers in case of any emergencies. They act as a bridge between parents and children by communicating the progress and needs of the child to the parents. If a student is absent for more than two days, the class teachers must reach out to the parents via email.

Home Assignments, Question Booklets

Home Assignments form a regular part of the curriculum wherein students are required to do a written assignment or read a chapter as part of the prerequisite of the following class. This helps inculcate self-discipline among students. For classes IX and X, ODM has designed Question Booklets in order to familiarise students with the pattern of the CBSE Board Examination, thereby enabling them to practice and prepare for the same accordingly.

LMS & Supportive Materials

The Learning Management System on ODMConnect allows teachers to upload presentations that are used for classroom proceedings which can be accessed by students. The students can upload their worksheets on the portal, which are then graded by teachers online.

Classroom – Activity-Based Learning

Across subjects, to the extent possible, teachers undertake an activity-based approach to enhance student learning. Research suggests that experiential learning increases the retention power of students. Students are informed beforehand in case they are required to carry any materials for the same. The concerned teacher explains the task followed by the activity which is then performed either by the students in groups or individually or by the teacher to demonstrate to the class, depending upon the scope and suitability of the task. Followed by the demonstration, the teacher gives a debrief to students and helps them understand the concept behind the same.

Doubt Clearing

ODMConnect allows students to raise their queries which are then addressed by teachers virtually or face to face. In case of virtual solutions, teachers may share voice notes, images or written responses to resolve the queries. During examination preparation leave, special doubt clearing sessions are arranged online for all subjects to address the last-minute queries of students. This session is conducted in small groups to ensure individual attention.

Special Academic Initiatives

At ODM International School, we recognize that not every student is the same and has the same potential. Keeping their individuality and varied learning needs in mind, we conduct separate sessions for high achievers as well as remedial sessions for students who require some extra support. While the former aims to prepare students for Olympiads and other competitive exams, the latter focuses on strengthening the foundation of the students in order to aid their current and future academic learning.

Ensuring Quality in Academics

At ODM International School , we have a guidebook called “Teacher’s Notes,” wherein for every class, every subject and every session, there is a pre-documented note on what the flow of each session should be, what are the topics to be covered and what are the learning outcomes. This helps ensure uniformity and quality of teaching across various instructors.
