Why Thinking Assessment?

Imagine a classroom where …

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

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

Assessments customised for you

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
