SUA Biology Teacher Gains National Attention

Several years ago, SUA Biology Teacher Jennifer Broo noticed the lack of information in biology textbooks concerning cancer, a disease that definitely has an emotional connection to most of her students. So began the development of "The War of the 21st Century: The Cell Cycle, Cancer, and Clinical Trials", a curriculum that Broo co-authored with Jessica Mahoney, a biology teacher from Orlando. Throughout the two-week course, students are challenged to think about cancer in a way that it relates to a cell cycle. The students examine cell structure and mutations of cells and begin to learn about how cancer cells grow and divide, and how chemotherapy drugs affect a cell's growth. They learn about the history of cancer and begin to evaluate why certain lifestyle choices increase the risk of cancer cells developing.Ms. Broo's curriculum has gained national attention since she presented her curriculum at the National Association of Biology Teacher's Conference (NABT). She is excited that her published work will be distributed to other biology teachers for use in their classrooms all over the United States. She hopes her curriculum will inspire others to join the fight against cancer and knows that inspiration begins with the teachers charged with educating the future doctors, researchers, and scientists in our high schools today. She is living proof that the community at St. Ursula Academy is committed to "building a better world."
