Formative Assessments made powerful
(classes 3-10, CBSE and ICSE)
Workbooks with beautiful questions (classes 4-10, CBSE)
Kids think through Open Door across the world, every year!
80% of your students do not understand a topic even after it is taught. These students grow up believing that Science and Math are not their cup of tea
Open Door provides topic-wise assessments with thought-provoking questions that help your teachers in building a lifelong understanding of Science and Math. Easy to implement, no device needed.
Most of the statements made by teachers in a classroom are answers to questions that teachers do not ask. When students can think on their own, why not ask questions and let children think?
Open Door has designed Science and Math workbooks mapped to CBSE books. Add to your booklist and turn your classrooms into Thinking Classrooms.
'Critical Thinking Program,' designed in partnership with IIT Gandhinagar. This program assists schools teachers in teaching critical thinking to students during school hours.
Would you like your Science teachers to become stronger in Science? Would you like your Math teachers to master Math concepts? Open Door is launching the 'Subject Mastery Program for Teachers' with the goal of making Science and Math teachers masters of their subjects. Assess your teachers on subject knowledge and improve them in 4 months!
Open Door began in 2013. The founders realized early on that the school system focused on exams and marks but had limitations in providing in-depth mastery of a concept. In other words, children were scoring marks but the learning was pointless because no one was really understanding a concept.
We kept the name of the initiative ‘Open Door’ because we wanted to make children think and question.
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.
