A Daily Curriculum Plan is published for all subjects across classes at the beginning of each academic year. This helps bring 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.

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 must 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 email the parents.

Home Assignments form a regular part of the curriculum wherein students must 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 to familiarise students with the pattern of the CBSE Board Examination, thereby enabling them to practice and prepare for the same accordingly.

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

Across subjects, 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 if 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. Following the demonstration, the teacher gives a debrief to students and helps them understand the concept behind the same.

Learning Management System allows students to raise their queries, which are then addressed by teachers virtually or face-to-face. In the 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 students' last-minute queries. This session is conducted in small groups to ensure individual attention.

At ODM, we recognise that only some students are the same and have the same potential. Keeping their individuality and varied learning needs in mind, we conduct separate sessions for high achievers and remedial sessions for students who require extra support. While the former aims to prepare students for Olympiads and other competitive exams, the latter focuses on strengthening the student's foundation to aid their current and future academic learning.

At ODM, 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.
