school_heading
St. Mary School sits in the heart of Hooghly, where the Ganges breeze carries stories of history and culture into the classroom. Teachers here work as a close-knit team, sharing lesson ideas over tea after the last bell and walking together to the staff room when the monsoon sky darkens. Parents from local villages and nearby towns drop by after school hours to talk about their children’s progress, creating a daily rhythm of trust and collaboration.
About This Role
The TGT Social Science Teacher Vacancy in Hooghly is open for a post-graduate teacher with at least two years of classroom experience. At St. Mary School, this role is about bringing the past alive for students in Classes 6 to 10. You will plan lessons that connect ancient trade routes with Bengal’s own river-based commerce, make political science relatable through local Panchayat stories, and turn geography into field-based observations students can share with their families.
Day-to-Day Duties
Design weekly lesson plans aligned with the CBSE Social Science curriculum for Classes 6 to 10.
Conduct interactive classes using maps, timelines, and primary sources from Hooghly’s local archives.
Assess students through periodic tests, projects, and group discussions that measure conceptual clarity.
Organize quarterly field trips to nearby historical sites or markets to observe real-world applications of Social Science.
Collaborate with the History and Civics teachers at St. Mary School to align assessments and share resources.
Prepare students for board-style exams with sample papers and discussion-based revision sessions.
Maintain portfolios of student work, noting progress in map-reading and source-based questions.
Communicate regularly with parents during PTMs to explain rubrics and suggest home-based learning activities.
Who Can Apply
Post-graduates in Social Science, History, Geography, or Political Science with a B.Ed degree and minimum two years of teaching experience are eligible. NET or SET qualified candidates will be preferred. Experience with TET/CTET is not mandatory but familiarity with CBSE assessment patterns helps.
School Environment
St. Mary School is a co-educational institution where classrooms spill into corridors lined with student projects on local heritage. Teachers often swap classroom strategies during lunch breaks, discussing how to simplify medieval Indian history for students who speak Bengali at home. The school observes local festivals like Rath Yatra and Durga Puja as learning opportunities, weaving community culture into the Social Science curriculum.
Salary and Benefits
The Social Science Teaching Job in Hooghly, Hooghly offers a monthly salary between Rs.20,000 and Rs.45,000 based on qualifications and experience. Benefits include a provident fund, annual health check-up, and subsidized canteen access. Teachers receive a yearly resource budget for maps, charts, and local study materials.
