The class teacher, Ms. Fatima is an excellent teacher who teaches each child with special attention. Her dedication, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, is commendable. Her ability to assess students’ progress is likewise excellent. She urges the students to follow COVID SOPs at school and at home, such as wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, and washing hands regularly. Parents were enthusiastic to send their children to school with COVID measures during a pandemic.
Monthly Teachers Meeting:
Regular monthly teachers’ training sessions of all Qandeel Home Schools are conducted by Mrs. Sharmeen Bhamani- Education Officer to improve teaching methodology and school standards at the premises of TOS-Pakistan where Jamshed Memorial School is situated.
Mr. Mushtaq Ali Jindani, Hon. General Secretary and Director Education of TOS-Pakistan introduced a unique concept of “Montessori Silence Game” to the teachers. He has explained that Silence Game is one of the most beautiful Practical Life exercises in a Montessori Early Childhood school. It is amazing to see preschoolers find out how to relax their minds and bodies. Participant teachers learnt how to conduct the Silence Game with the children at Qandeel Home Schools.
