Why move on to the next topic when 80% children have not mastered the previous topic? Make classroom assessments powerful (For CBSE, ICSE curriculum schools)
It took Isaac Newton several years to formulate the Laws of Motion. How can students understand Newton's Laws of Motion in 5 periods?
Thinking Assessments program help teachers in making sure that important concepts of Math and Science are mastered before teachers move to the next topic. Students in Open Door's partner schools explore a concept from many angles and develop a deep understanding of key concepts in their curriculum.
Open Door's assessments are customised based on the textbooks and learning objectives shared by a school. The assessments contain thought-provoking questions that are unfamiliar to the students which forces them to think.
Open Door provides:
- Topic-wise assessments customised for your school
- Questions that make children say Wow!
- Scanning tool that generate reports in 5minutes using phone camera
- Workshops and capacity building measures for the teachers
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
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
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
We understand that every school has a different need. That is why, we design questions that map to your learning objectives. We are flexible and work closely with your teachers to make sure that our assessments are customised for you.
"Open Door has helped us in identifying learning gaps."
-Ms. Sandhya Awasthi,
Principal, DPS, Greater Noida
Listen to the Thinking Classroom song: A catchy tune that showcases a teacher's quest to create a Thinking Classroom.
Open Door started in 2013. Today, we offer programs like Thinking Assessments, Thinking Classroom, the Subject Mastery Program for teachers, and a Critical Thinking Program for students.
We imagine a world where every child learns by thinking—not by memorizing. Our programs have "beautiful questions" to make children think and question, helping them build lifelong understanding of Science and Math.
A team of young graduates from top Indian universities (like IITs and NITs) designs the questions. These questions are making 300000+ students think more than before.
Open Door offers 4 main educational programs:
Thinking Assessments
For Classes 3–10: Topic-based tests with thought-provoking questions to build lifelong Science/Math understanding.
Thinking Classroom
For Classes 4–10: CBSE-aligned workbooks that replace traditional teaching with real-world questions.
Critical Thinking Program
For Classes 6–8: Developed with IIT Gandhinagar to help teachers guide students' critical thinking.
Subject Mastery Program
For Teachers: Helps Science/Math teachers master their subjects through assessment and improvement.
These are topic-wise assessments for classes 3–10. In therse assessments there are thought-provoking questions to help students deeply understand Science and Math.
For classes 4–10, it provides CBSE-mapped workbooks that replace boring lectures. Students tackle real-world questions like "Can you design Virat Kohli’s diet?" or "Would we hear ourselves if we shouted on the Moon?"
This program is designed with IIT Gandhinagar for classes 6–8. Its purpose is to help teachers guide students to think critically during regular school hours.
This program helps Science/Math teachers master their subjects. It allows schools to assess teachers’ knowledge and improve it in just 4 months.
