JIM LEHNER
I have been teaching science (environmental science, physics and chemistry) since 1993 and APES since 2001. I have led APES Summer Institutes since about 2010. I have been an APES Exam Reader since 2005 and presently serve as the Assistant Chief Reader. I am also a past-member of the APES Test Development Committee. Therefore I know the APES course and exam frontwards and backwards. I look forward to working with you this summer and sharing good ideas and methods with you and also learning the same from you. Cheers, JL

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This workshop is designed for teachers new (or fairly new) to teaching AP Environmental Science (APES). This multidisciplinary course incorporates elements from chemistry, ecology, physics and geology. Therefore this course will incorporate many different methods of conveying disparate content to your students while also focusing on how to support classroom learning through appropriate laboratories and field investigations. We will do our very best to convey an in-person experience to participants by involving them through video links and shared data to give them almost the full experience of evaluating many APES laboratory activities. Furthermore, participants will delve deeply into both the College Board’s APES Course and Exam Description and AP Classroom as well as other sources of good ideas and material on the internet. Participants will create an APES Unit Organizer and Sequence Guide that aligns to their school’s calendar and may be used to create a true APES Syllabus to satisfy the College Board’s audit requirement in the near future. I look forward to working hard with you this summer and attaining a successful outcome to our virtual time together! Cheers, Jim Lehner [email protected]
