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 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.

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. These diverse field investigations will stress experimental design and scientific principles through first-hand studies of and visits to local ecosystems, forested regions, agricultural settings, cemeteries and pertinent technological facilities. 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. I look forward to working hard with you this summer and attaining a successful outcome to our time together!
