REGISTRATION
Join the National Cybersecurity Training and Education Center (NCyTE) for a focused and interactive virtual C5 Curriculum Work Session created specifically for high school and middle school educators. No prior cybersecurity experience is required, and participation stipends are available for eligible instructors.
This virtual session invites educators from all subject areas to share their classroom expertise and provide hands-on feedback on the C5 Cybersecurity Concept Lessons. Discussion will center on lessons that connect to Technology, Business, Math, and the broader cybersecurity ecosystem, with an emphasis on strengthening classroom relevance, accessibility, and student engagement.
The session will focus specifically on AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP). Educator feedback will directly inform updates to the C5 Cybersecurity Concept Lessons, a set of 13 lessons, along with supporting roadmaps and a planning and pacing guide designed to integrate cybersecurity concepts seamlessly into AP CSP instruction.
