Cyber Wise: Turning Educators into Everyday Defenders

Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue; it’s a district-wide responsibility. This hands-on workshop is designed to help technology leaders create engaging and sustainable cybersecurity and student data privacy training for educators. Participants will experience sample activities and digital simulations that make topics like phishing, password hygiene, and FERPA compliance accessible and memorable for non-technical staff. You’ll explore ways to build district-wide awareness campaigns, implement friendly phishing tests, and track progress in staff digital safety habits. Leave with templates, lesson models, and customizable resources to launch or enhance your own educator-facing cybersecurity initiatives. Together, we’ll turn passive users into everyday defenders, no fear tactics needed.
