planning & evaluating children’s learning progress, but shealso plays an
important role in bridging the gap between the school and parents. At SHEMFORD,
we believe that parents play an equally important role in the growth and
development of their child. In line with SHEMFORD’s Parent Participation

with a view to equip our teachers to interact effectively with our SHEMFORD
Parents belonging to different cultures, understanding and thoughts.”

enhances their Grooming and Communication Skills, and also focuses on Handling
Students. After the robust, energetic sessions, we introduce teachers to the
SHEMFORD Assessment techniques. At SHEMFORD we believe, every child is a star
and has her own capabilities to outshine. The teachers evaluate every child on
a continuous basis on all areas of development both scholastic&
co-scholastic. Teachers are explained in detail about the importance & use
of our specially designed detailed observation checklist.”
