LifeJourney and
The Cyber Innovation Center have partnered to release The Cyber Teacher, a cloud-based professional development and certification program
designed to include cybersecurity material and IT skills in high school teacher training.
Features of the program include cyber-related lesson plans and resources, career guidance tools, "career awareness" mentorship modules, the
opportunity to earn a cyber teacher certificate and a CompTIA
CertMaster adaptive e-learning course.
"Equipping our nation's teachers with skills and tools they can employ to make their students more cyber-aware will fill a critical need
for greater cybersecurity awareness," said Thomas Reilly, vice president of CompTIA Learning, in a prepared statement.
