RET Site: Cyber Security Initiative for Nevada Teachers (CSINT)

这笔资金在里诺的内华达州大学（UNR）建立了一个新的教师研究经验（RET）网站。这个RET网站的主要目标是探索独特的方式，让初中和高中教师参与强调网络安全的暑期研究体验。 教师们将在夏季花六周时间参与研究经验，并开发课堂模块和材料，这些模块和材料将在学年期间在他们的课堂上实施。UNR团队将使用人际角色扮演和网络安全游戏来帮助教师了解网络安全及其对我们国家的重要性。 该项目涉及大学、周围内华达州县的学区、工业协会和内华达州教育部之间的伙伴关系。该项目将开发一个教师社区，他们对网络安全充满热情，并且可以通过引人入胜的高质量探究学习体验将这种兴奋转化为学生。 这个RET网站是由安全和值得信赖的网络空间（SaTC）计划共同资助的。该项目由一个研究领域锚定，这是令人信服的和令人兴奋的教师和K-12学生和教师团队，已经证明了在研究和教育方面的专业知识。 该项目的目标是：招募一批有兴趣将网络安全和计算机科学主题引入课堂的初中和高中教师;让被招募的教师参与各种现代系统和安全应用的研究经验;开发可纳入各种年级/班级的教学模块;与内华达州的所有学校和该国的其他利益攸关方开展合作和接触，以向大量的初中和高中教师宣传和传播成果;并维持RET网站教师参与者，UNR导师团队和行业合作伙伴之间的长期合作伙伴关系，以便为学生带来计算，解决问题和研究的兴奋，并鼓励他们追求STEM相关职业。该网站的特点是教师访问以及连接到当前的研究和实践的项目。 可再生能源技术网站包括健全的评估和传播计划，将为将网络安全概念纳入初中和高中课程提供模式。 教师将发展和磨练他们的研究，沟通和演讲技巧，所有这些都是他们的专业成长和成功必不可少的。该项目将建设教师的技术能力，使他们能够在学校开发和实施新的、令人兴奋的探究式学习活动。项目小组将通过TeachEngineering数字图书馆和一个专门的地方网站和服务器储存库传播项目材料，并在年度讲习班和会议上与广大教师分享。该小组还将通过高质量期刊和专业会议传播项目成果。

This funding establishes a new Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Site at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). The primary objective of this RET site is to explore unique ways to engage middle and high school teachers in summer research experiences that emphasize cybersecurity. The teachers will spend six weeks in the summer participating in research experiences and developing classroom modules and materials which will be implemented in their classrooms during the academic year. The UNR team will use inter-personal role-playing and cybersecurity games to help the teachers learn about cybersecurity and its importance to our nation. The project involves a partnership between the university, the school districts in the surrounding Nevada counties, industrial associates, and the Nevada Department of Education. The project will develop a community of teachers who are passionate about cybersecurity and who can translate this excitement to their students through engaging, high-quality inquiry learning experiences. This RET Site is co-funded by the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program.The project is anchored by a research area this is compelling and exciting for teachers and K-12 students and by faculty team that has demonstrated expertise in both research and education. The goals of the project are to: recruit a cohort of middle and high school teachers interested in introducing cybersecurity and computer science topics into their classrooms; engage the recruited teachers in research experiences with applications in various modern day systems and security; develop instructional modules that can be incorporated into a variety of grades/classes; initiate collaboration and engagement with all schools in Nevada and other stakeholders in the country to promote and disseminate the results to a large group of middle and high school teachers; and sustain long term partnerships between the RET Site teacher participants, the UNR mentor team and industry partners, in order to bring the excitement of computing, problem solving and research to students and encourage them to pursue STEM related careers. The site features projects that are teacher accessible as well as connected to current research and practice. The RET site includes sound evaluation and dissemination plans that will provide models for integrating cybersecurity concepts into the middle and high school curricula. Teachers will develop and hone their research, communication, and presentation skills, all of which are essential to their professional growth and success. The project will build the technical capacity of teachers so they are capable of developing and implementing new, exciting inquiry-based learning activities at their schools. The project team will disseminate the project materials through the TeachEngineering digital library and a dedicated local website and server repository that will be shared with a wider audience of teachers at annual workshops and meetings. The team will also disseminate project results through high-quality journals and professional meetings.
