She has always loved math and science. While she has taught every AP Physics Course, she currently teaches AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism at Lambert High School in Suwanee, Georgia. She has worked as a Question Leader, Table Leader, and Reader at the annual AP Physics Reading from 2003-2020. Rebecca served as a member of the AP Physics 2 test development committee, as the College Board Advisor from 2013-2018. Rebecca has presented several times at the American Association of Physics Teachers\u2019 National Meeting. She has worked with the Georgia Department of Education in presenting one-day workshops since 2007.\u00a0From 2012 &#8211; 2017, Rebecca served as a Master Teaching Fellow through the Noyce I-IMPACT Teaching Fellowship Program at Kennesaw State University mentoring new Physics and AP Physics teachers while earning her Teacher Leader Endorsement. She was selected as 2019 and 2023 STAR teacher for Lambert and the school district. In 2020 she was awarded the E. Scott Barr award for Physics Teaching Excellent presented by the University of Alabama. She is the Head Coach for the Science Olympiad and Physics Teams. During summer break, Mrs. Howell travels to various universities to lead College Board workshops. She enjoys working with new teachers. When not teaching, she enjoys spending time with her family. She loves coffee, being outside, making stuff, Disney, StarWars, Harry Potter, and going on adventures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/eventreg.collegeboard.org\/event\/214fb658-af51-449f-886f-a1b6d755e28a\/home-page?previewToken=0de2e2cb5a46094abadd2c816f12cdcf769989a0975bb6d4e67c4216b18e3d1f8ba8c219665cda8651fcb153d3aa5b12b034c851931e2b9f6da9ac86b9e80736\" class=\"btn  btn-crimson btn-lg\">Register Now <\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Course Description This workshop will help teachers to improve the planning and delivery of the AP Physics 1 course so that teachers can help their students to acquire and retain a more thorough understanding of physics and perform better on the AP Exam.
