This resource provides standardized concept-inventory assessments used to measure students’ understanding of core science ideas. It is especially beneficial for students with learning disabilities or processing difficulties because it identifies specific misconceptions that interfere with comprehension. I recommend this tool because it gives teachers clear, item-level data they can use to adjust instruction. The SCI aligns well with data-driven decision-making because it pinpoints which concepts need reteaching or differentiated supports. Using concept inventories allows teachers to match instruction directly to the areas where students demonstrate gaps or partial understanding.
