About Course

When a student says heavier objects fall faster—or that “we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide”—they’re not being lazy. They’re drawing from half-formed ideas picked up over years of schooling, home life, and pop culture.

Most assessments don’t catch these deeply rooted misconceptions until it’s too late. That’s where My Misconception Mentor comes in.

This is not your standard training. It’s a 4-month transformation in how you understand and approach science teaching—rooted in national ASSET data from over 20 years and lakhs of students. We help you identify the conceptual cracks that students carry from one grade to the next, and show you how to build deeper, more resilient understanding in your classroom.

Each course is structured in two parts:

  • Misconception Decoder: Decode 10–12 high-leverage science misconceptions surfaced by national data and real student responses.

  • Deep Dive: Content & Connections: Build strong conceptual clarity and explore effective strategies to teach foundational ideas the way students actually learn them.
