I recently mentioned<\/a> that we received Scottish Government funding to develop teaching and learning material for NPA Cyber Security<\/a> (at all three levels). Since then, we’ve formed a development team consisting of practising teachers and lecturers who will be responsible for developing the new material. The team consists of experienced classroom teachers (and a college lecturer), most of whom are currently delivering the qualification.<\/p>\n

The aim of the project is to develop a complete curricular package to help teachers and lecturers deliver the award — and encourage more centres to offer it in the future. The first stage in the project is to ask practitioners what they want. To that end, we’ll be issuing a questionnaire to centres to ask exactly that — What do you want? How do you want it? And when?<\/p>\n

The “when?” is already known in reality, since we’ve pledged to have the new material available to schools and colleges by next March (with a launch event in April). Before we do that, sometime later this year, we’ll be looking for pilot centres to trial the material.<\/p>\n

Look out for the invitation to complete the survey in the near future. In the meantime, contact Emma<\/a> if you want to know more about this development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
