A team of educators has been working on a cybersecurity curriculum framework (CCF). The purpose of the framework is to express a set of standards that stakeholders can use to develop a dedicated cybersecurity course for high schools. While computer science ideas and work are present in the framework, the CCF clearly delineates cybersecurity as its own topic. In the next phase of this project, the team hopes to develop methods for dual-credit and/or advanced placement so that students who take the course in high school can earn college credit for it. This session at the CAE community meeting would be focused on sharing the framework and investigating the pros and cons of dual-credit or advanced placement from the perspective of CAE principals.
