unaware and uninformed about the negative consequences of their actions in the digital
world. Additionally, there is a critical shortage of professionals to fill cyber-related job openings. To fulfill these needs, the NCF sponsored the development of cybersecurity curriculum guidelines and resources for students and teachers that help them understand cyber threats and connect educators with the resources, tools, and professional development to teach cybersecurity.

ABOUT THIS SESSION: Join Cheryl as she presents The Hill We Climb: A Journey Toward Justice and Equity in Counseling. Over the last couple of years, two enduring pandemics—COVID-19 and racial injustice–have impacted the education landscape and the emotional fabric of our country. From “Zoom fatigue” to racialized stress, the pandemics have required school counselors to address mounting numbers of traumatized students and longstanding issues of racial and educational injustice. Dr. Holcomb-McCoy will inspire counselors with a solid call to action. Climbing the hill of racial justice is steep; but school counselors can get to the top by acting with courage, love, and determination.
