Teach to Beat Cancer engages high school science teachers in scientific research and education to enhance their skills, knowledge, and abilities to teach science and principles of cancer biology. This program runs concurrently with the Youth Engaged in Science (YES) summer program.
Teachers who are selected for the program participate in cancer research labs and additional educational experiences, learning how to build a cancer-focused curriculum to take back to their schools and classrooms. Participants are asked to assist in the YES end-of-summer celebration by scoring students' research project presentations.
Teachers earn $900/week for participation in the program.
Interested science teachers should contact J.T. Render at jxr488@case.edu or 216.368.6457.
