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!
a) Teachers will achieve mastery of the topics that they teach every year leading to increased confidence among teachers.
b) A good grasp of the subject will open up a new dimension to teaching. This will lead to effective lesson plans and better question design.
c) Open Door will provide recognition to teachers after the program thereby building a culture of learning among teachers.
1. Initial assessment: Teachers will take an Open Door assessment centred on key concepts taught by them that are often misunderstood even by the teachers. Open Door will share the syllabus of the assessment beforehand.
2. Feedback and In-depth Discussion: After the assessment, educators will receive comprehensive feedback, offering insight and improvement guidance. The Open Door team will discuss the assessment with the teachers.
3. Re-assessment: Open Door will conduct a second assessment on the same topic after 3 months to help teachers to show an improvement in their understanding.
1. Initial Assessment in August/September (you can choose the date)
2. Detailed Feedback and discussion (2 weeks after the Initial Assessment)
3. Re-assessment in December/January (you can choose the date)
The program is open to 10 schools to participate in this phase on a first-come, first-serve basis. This is a unique opportunity for you to develop a learning culture among your Science and Math teachers.

Open Door offers 'Thinking Assessments', 'Thinking Classroom' and 'Critical Thinking' programs to schools. Thinking Assessments is a series of thought-provoking assessments followed by immediate feedback. Thinking Classroom is a set of workbooks of questions that make children think and help teachers speak less while teaching and the 'Critical Thinking Program,' is designed in partnership with IIT Gandhinagar. This program assists your teachers in teaching critical thinking to students during school hours.
Our programs are offered for Science and Mathematics. Thinking Assessments is offered from grades 3 - 10. Thinking Classroom is offered from grades 6 - 8.
Teachers tend to use similar examples every year. By using Open Door's assessments, teachers challenge themselves and students to think deeper. This also provides school management to reliably gauge student understanding through an external body of assessments.
