I like it when teachers:
I hate it when teachers:
 10th
year of teaching (Eastlake, Renton, Here)
 Inquiry 10 and AP Environmental Science
 Bachelor’s in Biology from Whitman College,
Masters in Teaching from U.W.
 Two kids- Tyson (5) and Robyn (3)
 1 dog, 2 cats
 Favorite things: eating (almost anything),
socializing, sports, celebrity gossip, trips
I
can determine the major concepts
important to environmental science by
examining current events.
 I can use pre-reading strategies to
understand the format of the APES textbook.
 Environmental
Science is NOT
Environmentalism
 Sort
the current events into 6-8 broad topics
 Choose a recorder to write your final results
on the whiteboard
 You can include sub-topics
 Then we will see how close you are to the
College Board outline!
 Next
to each category, record how confident
you are in your knowledge of each (5 = I’m
ready for an AP test, 1 = I’ve never seen
those words in my life)
 Put a star next to the ones you are most
interested in.
 Sharing Time at the end!
 Questions for me?
 No
set curriculum and labs
 “an inch deep and a mile wide”
 Focus on current events
 #1 fastest growing college majors = sustainability,
environmental engineering, etc.
 Sustainable practices are showing up everywherePanera, Chipotle, Taco Time, College
Cafeterias…where else?
 Please
take a few minutes to read the course
syllabus and safety contract
 I’ll then go over the highlights
 Due, signed, on Thursday/Friday (next time)
