UTeach AP Cybersecurity

Learning Community, Curriculum/Lessons

Funding Available for Texas Teachers!

In this hands-on, project-based curriculum, students explore core cybersecurity skills through practical lessons focused on topics like common threats and vulnerabilities, risk management, and a defense-in-depth strategy for securing systems, networks, and data.

Throughout the units, students prove their cyber defense skills through real-world challenges from a fictional hacker group that has "hijacked" the course. Students connect classroom learning to practical application with unit projects, easy-to-understand videos, collaborative research activities, and skills-focused labs.

The UTeach AP Cybersecurity curriculum, developed in collaboration with Teach Cyber, will be fully aligned with College Board’s AP Cybersecurity course framework beginning in 2026–27.

Included with each course license:
• Comprehensive, classroom-ready teacher materials
• Engaging student-facing curriculum
• Codio platform access, with student accounts
• Unlimited teacher support (on-demand video or email coaching, just-in-time support videos, and professional learning community)

TEA will provide full reimbursement for these resources to Texas public schools through August 2026. Request funding at https://cs.uteach.utexas.edu/blended-learning.

"This is by far the best Cybersecurity curriculum I've accessed. It allows me to concentrate on what students need instead of lesson planning!" — Texas Teacher
