AP Course:

AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

CONSULTANT: Perri Carr

I taught  AP Environmental Science (APES) for 21 years, most recently at V.R. Eaton High School, near Fort Worth, Texas and have over 30 years teaching AP science. I am active in the environmental community at the local and national level, as a Texas Master Naturalist, a Question Leader at the AP reading, a teacher workshop presenter for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and recently retired as the High School Co-Chair for the APES Test Development Committee. I have published labs, co-authored the Advanced Environmental Science GeoInquiries, served on the College Board AP Audit Committee, and continue to develop APES content for College Board. I am excited to work with you this summer to adapt the APES curriculum for your teaching situation.

Course Description:

This workshop provides resources and teaching strategies for new teachers and those wanting to update their AP Environmental Science course. We will dissect the course exam description, develop a year-long pacing guide, explore online College Board supports, score and discuss current exam FRQs. You will practice classroom ready hands-on activities, labs, and scaffolded strategies to reinforce content, strengthen science practices, and improve student success on free response questions and calculations.
