Every organization faces cyberthreats, cyberattacks, and technology breaches. Schools are no different. But professors, instructors, educators, and school systems have mostly failed to promote cybersecurity, leaving themselves—and their students—at risk. Joseph O. Esin highlights the serious nature of the problem in this book. He answers questions such as: • What does a well-structured plan to prevent cyber-threats look like? • How can we promote equity of cybersecurity in education system? • Where do cyber threats rank compared with other dangers? • How can high schools, colleges, and universities promote cybersecurity endeavors? The best way to prevent cyberattacks is to create a professional education alliance that promotes meaningful change. High school, colleges, universities, professors, educators, and support personnel must come to the table to make prevention a priority. Get a clear understanding of the problem and respond with meaningful measures with the insights and information in The Equity of Cybersecurity in the Education System.

Educators must both respond to the impact of trauma, and prevent trauma at school. Trauma-informed initiatives tend to focus on the challenging behaviors of students and ascribe them to circumstances that students are facing outside of school. This approach ignores the reality that inequity itself causes trauma, and that schools often heighten inequities when implementing trauma-informed practices that are not based in educational equity. In this fresh look at trauma-informed practice, Alex Shevrin Venet urges educators to shift equity to the center as they consider policies and professional development. Using a framework of six principles for equity-centered trauma-informed education, Venet offers practical action steps that teachers and school leaders can take from any starting point, using the resources and influence at their disposal to make shifts in practice, pedagogy, and policy. Overthrowing inequitable systems is a process, not an overnight change. But transformation is possible when educators work together, and teachers can do more than they realize from within their own classrooms.

There has been an increased use of technology in educational settings since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the benefits of including such technologies to support education, there is still the need for vigilance to counter the inherent risk that comes with the use of such technologies as the protection of students and their information is paramount to the effective deployment of any technology in education. The Handbook of Research on Current Trends in Cybersecurity and Educational Technology explores the full spectrum of cybersecurity and educational technology today and brings awareness to the recent developments and use cases for emergent educational technology. Covering key topics such as artificial intelligence, gamification, robotics, and online learning, this premier reference source is ideal for computer scientists, industry professionals, policymakers, administrators, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

A practical guide for achieving equitable outcomes From Equity Talk to Equity Walk offers practical guidance on the design and application of campus change strategies for achieving equitable outcomes.

Colleges and universities have placed greater emphasis on education equity in recent years. Acknowledging the changing realities and increasing demands placed on contemporary postsecondary education, this book meets educators where they are and offers an effective design framework for what it means to move beyond equity being a buzzword in higher education. Central concepts and key points are illustrated through campus examples. This indispensable guide presents academic administrators and staff with advice on building an equity-minded campus culture, aligning strategic priorities and institutional missions to advance equity, understanding equity-minded data analysis, developing campus strategies for making excellence inclusive, and moving from a first-generation equity educator to an equity-minded practitioner. From Equity Talk to Equity Walk: A Guide for Campus-Based Leadership and Practice is a vital wealth of information for college and university presidents and provosts, academic and student affairs professionals, faculty, and practitioners who seek to dismantle institutional barriers that stand in the way of achieving equity, specifically racial equity to achieve equitable outcomes in higher education.

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are "engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components." CPS can be small and closed, such as an artificial pancreas, or very large, complex, and interconnected, such as a regional energy grid. CPS engineering focuses on managing inter- dependencies and impact of physical aspects on cyber aspects, and vice versa. With the development of low-cost sensing, powerful embedded system hardware, and widely deployed communication networks, the reliance on CPS for system functionality has dramatically increased. These technical developments in combination with the creation of a workforce skilled in engineering CPS will allow the deployment of increasingly capable, adaptable, and trustworthy systems. Engineers responsible for developing CPS but lacking the appropriate education or training may not fully understand at an appropriate depth, on the one hand, the technical issues associated with the CPS software and hardware or, on the other hand, techniques for physical system modeling, energy and power, actuation, signal processing, and control. In addition, these engineers may be designing and implementing life-critical systems without appropriate formal training in CPS methods needed for verification and to assure safety, reliability, and security. A workforce with the appropriate education, training, and skills will be better positioned to create and manage the next generation of CPS solutions. A 21st Century Cyber-Physical Systems Education examines the intellectual content of the emerging field of CPS and its implications for engineering and computer science education. This report is intended to inform those who might support efforts to develop curricula and materials; faculty and university administrators; industries with needs for CPS workers; and current and potential students about intellectual foundations, workforce requirements, employment opportunities, and curricular needs.
