  There is a general increase in cybersecurity education courses and programs provided across the U.S. at secondary education institutions. The growth, expansion, and sustainability of those programs may be limited by several factors. The cost of establishing and running cybersecurity courses and programs may be prohibitive. Students within the district may not be aware of cybersecurity as a career field or interested in the related coursework or programs. Further, teachers may not be comfortable teaching cybersecurity content or credentialed to teach the subject area. This is further exacerbated by the competing requirements for state testing, curricular requirements, and limited academic time to support new content, courses, and programs. This session will provide insight on multiple initiatives spurring collaboration and overcoming challenges to support cybersecurity education in K-12. Most important is partnerships. The session will describe the process for developing partnerships among K-12 schools and districts, post-secondary education institutions, non-profit, government, and industry. Next is providing awareness of the cybersecurity field, providing opportunities for students in the forms of camps and other learning activities, and providing teacher professional development and educational opportunities. This point will focus on UAs Middle School Teacher Cybersecurity Accelerator Program, the coordination and execution of statewide CyberPatriot camps, and the development of an 18-Credit Cybersecurity Graduate Certificate to support dual-enrollment credentialing and ensuring teachers are comfortable teaching cybersecurity and highly technical concepts. UA partnered with Arizona Teaching Academy to provide the first dual enrollment credentialing opportunity for teachers which will also be discussed.Participants will come away from this session with actionable steps on developing partnerships and consortiums to support their efforts, methods for overcoming obstacles or communicating with districts and navigating university processes, resources to engage with students, and resources for teachers to introduce cybersecurity concepts and courses into their existing curriculum.
