Developing classroom presentations for your community’s k-12 schools may seem like an overwhelming task, especially for an already busy professional. However, it can be done and it can be very rewarding for both the presenter and the attendees. The presentation tips and recommended materials below will help you develop exciting and successful presentations that leave students and their teachers wanting more.

KEY #1:

It is important to understand the difference between career/workforce awareness and cyber awareness. In many cases teachers/schools are asking for a career briefing, and become disappointed when the content covered seems more geared towards cyberawareness (internet safety). Topics such as strong passwords, privacy, use of social media, and online reputation management are usually covered in great detail now-a-days due to the federal mandates associated with E-rate funding. Teachers may be disappointed and students may also become bored if the presentation content is cyber awareness—as they have already heard the messaging. While these topics can be briefly covered, the key is to make the connection between the cyberawareness topics and the career options.

What are jobs in cyber security? How does choosing a strong password make the job of a cyber security professional easier? Can students think of other ways besides passwords to make information confidential and secure? What are different job roles/responsibilities/titles in cyber security?

KEY #2:

Depending on the school/school district, you may be asked to provide evidence of a background check/fingerprinting. You or a representative of your agency might want to verify the requirements. Always ask that a second adult be present during your presentation. Make sure you have a formal form of identification on hand when arriving at the school. Most schools now require it at the main office before allowing you to be escorted to your presentation location.
