A Second Generation Faculty Development Program

该项目正在创建第二代教师发展计划，以培训马里兰州一系列学院和大学的信息保障（IA）教师。培训计划包括四个部分：1。一系列研讨会，介绍安全相关的主题，感兴趣的教师;2。一个IA教育工作者论坛，更有经验的教育工作者可以分享他们的经验教学信息保证;3。研究导师计划，安全研究人员邀请社区学院和初级教师与他们共同研究安全问题;一个实习项目，高级教师将在CERT的联合研究项目中工作。这种项目结构确保具有不同技能和经验的教师不仅能够提高自己的技能，而且还能够与来自不同机构的同事分享他们的知识。该项目由陶森大学领导，并与马里兰州信息安全保证联盟（MAISA）的其他14个成员合作。自2002年以来，陶森大学一直是信息保障教育的学术卓越中心，陶森教师在这类教师发展计划方面拥有丰富的经验。从社区学院到博士生大学，一系列机构的教职员工通过广泛的机构和个人合作参与该计划。由于这一项目，预计MAISA成员机构的数量将增加。

This project is creating a second generation faculty development program to train information assurance (IA) faculty across a range of Maryland colleges and universities. The training program includes four components:1. A seminar series to introduce security related topics to interested faculty;2. An IA educators forum where more experienced educators can share their experiences teaching information assurance;3. A research mentorship program, where security researchers invite community college and junior faculty to work jointly with them on research problems in security; and4. An externship program where advanced faculty will work at CERT on joint research projects.This project structure ensures that faculty with different levels of skills and experience not only will be able to improve their own skill set, but also to share their knowledge with colleagues from different institutions. This project is led by Towson University and run in collaboration with the other 14 members of the Maryland Alliance for Information Security Assurance (MAISA). Towson University has been a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education since 2002 and Towson faculty members have extensive experience with this type of faculty development program. Faculty members at a range of institutions, from community colleges through to doctoral universities, are participating in this program through extensive institutional and individual collaborations. As a result of this project, it is expected that the number of MAISA member institutions will increase.
