include a section on science. While the results of these tests may not behigh stakes in terms of sanctions on a school, district or individual teacher, they certainly havehigh stakes for the students as their scores determine whether or not they will graduate from highschool. As a result, there is an ongoing tension between STEM-related reforms, often initiated byfederal agencies and universities, and test preparation practices K-12 educators perceive willresult in higher scores on standardized tests. To further complicate matters, standardized testsconsist of largely multiple choice questions and are therefore not necessarily reliable indicatorsof students’ reasoning and problem solving skills (Burkhardt, 2012). Despite researchers
