WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!

We hope you enjoyed your summer break. We trust your summer break was, much like ours, busy! We spent our time:
  • teaching the Teaching Cybersecurity course in the National Cybersecurity Teaching Academy (NCTA) graduate certificate program.
  • attending the Argonne Cyber Guardians competition.
  • developing assessment resources for teachers in alignment with the 8 Big Ideas in the High School Cybersecurity Curriculum Guidelines.
  • growing, we added 250+ users of Teach Cyber this summer.
  • providing professional development (online and in person). If your state has a statewide initiative to integrate cybersecurity in secondary education, Teach Cyber can help with that initiative. Please take a look at our Starting a Cybersecurity Program page and reach out to us.
