ABSTRACT
In this paper, we recount efforts in developing cybersecurity workshops for K-12 teachers, intended to learn skills to better educate the cybersecurity workers of tomorrow. In 2021, we provided two one-day virtual workshops and in 2022 we provided one two-day in-person workshop to high school teachers to increase cybersecurity awareness in three areas: general cybersecurity issues, software security, and hardware security. Both the online and in-person workshops employed Google classroom and Jupyter Notebooks, and high school teachers were provided with Raspberry Pi Zeros to use as part of the workshops. This paper describes the design and implementation of the workshops and also provides evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of the workshops, as well as commentary to provide guidance for future efforts.

Reflections of Cybersecurity Workshop for K-12 Teachers and High School Students
SIGCSE 2022: Proceedings of the 53rd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education V. 2In this paper, we describe efforts to promote a robust cyber security workforce through a series of online workshops for K-12 teachers and grades 7-12 students. In 2021, we provided virtual workshops to high school teachers and students to increase ...
An International Pilot Study of K-12 Teachers' Computer Science Self-Esteem
ITiCSE '20: Proceedings of the 2020 ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science EducationComputer Science (CS) is a new subject area for many K-12 teachers around the world, requiring new disciplinary knowledge and skills. Teacher social-behavioral factors (e.g. self-esteem) have been found to impact learning and teaching, and a key part of ...
