Welcome!
My name is Oather Strawderman and I have taught Physics in Lawrence Kansas since 1997. I am the Science Department Chair at Lawrence Free State High School. My teaching experience includes all forms of AP Physics. I have worked as a Question Leader, Table Leader and Reader at the annual AP Physics Reading in June since 2012. As a result of my experience as a Reader I have had the opportunity to be an item writer and reviewer for the AP Physics 1, 2 and C exams, including as a member of the AP Physics Instructional Design Team helping to develop the resources on AP Classroom. As a College Board endorsed AP Physics International Consultant, I have presented daylong and week-long workshops in 32 states. I have also presented at multiple AP Annual Conferences and AAPT National Conferences. I was also honored to have had the opportunity to present Internationally in Kunming China and Dubai United Arab Emirates. I am currently the Co-Chair of the AP Physics 2 Development Committee where I help develop the exam and work on the preparation of the Curriculum Framework. I also am a member of the Rearticulation Committee that revamped the Curriculum Frameworks for all the AP Physics courses. My work on the Development Committee has also included membership on College Board’s Science Academic Advisory Committee and the AP Physics Course Audit Scoring Guide Development Committee. I have recently begun training other AP Consultants and mentoring new AP Physics Consultants for College Board as the Lead Consultant for AP Physics C. I also am an Instructor for AP Daily in AP Classroom for both AP Physics 1 & 2 and AP Live on YouTube for AP Physics 2. In addition to my work with AP Physics, I also conduct workshops for district and building staff to increase the equity and access of their AP Programs.
I love to help students on their journey to discover and understand Physics!! I hope that the resources on my website help you make learning for your students more “Phluid”!!!
Thanks for visiting!!!!
