During the summer of 2024, National Cryptologic Foundation (NCF) Education Director Dr. Alisha Jordan crisscrossed the country to participate on behalf of the NCF in education conferences and summits.
In June, Dr. Jordan traveled to Nashville, TN to participate in the School Discipline Conference as part of the Innovative Schools Summit. The conference provided opportunities for administrators, teachers, counselors, and other educators to learn new insights and strategies for reaching and teaching students.
The NCF attended the Nashville Summit as an exhibitor to promote its program offerings to over 4,000 school leader attendees. From this engagement, the NCF intends to explore partnerships with four schools outside of Maryland to expand the Ambassador Program nationally.
In July, Dr. Jordan attended the Innovative Schools Summit in Las Vegas, NV. This prestigious event brought together over 6,000 school administrators, teachers, and counselors to enhance their skills and share knowledge across various educational platforms.
Dr. Jordan seized this opportunity to showcase the extensive range of resources that the NCF offers to school districts and educators, focusing on cyber and cybersecurity education. Her presentations and interactions at the summit highlighted the NCF's commitment to equipping educators with the tools they need to foster a robust cybersecurity culture within their schools.
