After an exhaustive application process the search committee has notified the national panel of teachers and professionals who have qualified to sit on the standards development committee.

Twenty-nine committee members were selected, representing 22 states across all five time zones! Elementary, middle school, and high school educators will serve on writing teams and come to the project from various professional roles and levels within education. With over 60% of the members bringing previous standards writing experience, we're confident that this team will create impactful and comprehensive cybersecurity learning standards. Read more details below on the breakdown of the writing committee.

The standards writing committee will convene over three meetings scheduled between October 2020 and April 2021. The committee will be facilitated by McRel International and will be supported by government agencies such as the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Institute for Cybersecurity Education, as well as industry partners such as Palo Alto Networks, Tenable, the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation, and Parallax.
