Why should you choose Thinking Assessments?

Questions that make better thinkers

Assessments are not pie charts and graphs. They are a set of questions. The quality of questions determines the quality of an assessment. Open Door’s questions are designed to make children think like never before. These are questions that no one has seen before, leaving children with no choice but to apply the concept.

"Your questions make children think. There are no straight answers."
-Mr. Siddharth Rajgarhia,
Director, DPS, Nasik

Make Science and Math teachers fall in love with their subject

A thinking teacher develops thinking children. Open Door develops thinking skills in children through regular workshops on topics such as concept-appreciation, question-design and critical thinking. Open Door also shares research and conducts contests with the teachers on a regular basis.

"The subject knowledge of my teachers is much stronger now."
-Ms. Meena Kak
Director, Lakshmipat Singhania Academy, Kolkata

Go beyond data. Make sure that your children improve learning by 20%

In a normal system, teachers take an assessment after teaching a topic. They receive a score, a grade or even a detailed report. But, teachers have to move on to teaching the text topic after that. What is the point of such data? Open Door’s assessments helps you focus on the only thing that matters: improvement in the learning of children.

"Open Door helps us to measure the improvement in children."
-Revathi Srinivasan,
Director, Singhania School, Mumbai
