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.
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.
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.
