There is no doubt that even with competing priorities, cybersecurity is top of mind for school districts. However, budget constraints can make it tough for K–12 schools to fully address all their cybersecurity concerns. That could explain why the “Cybersecurity on a Shoestring” session at TCEA 2023 in San Antonio was jampacked. “The average school spends less than 8 percent of its IT budget on cybersecurity, with 1 in 5 schools committing less than 1 percent,” notes a 2022 report from the Center

A Principal's Reflections

Humans crave a deep connection when it comes to learning something new, especially if they initially don't see any value in what's being taught or facilitated. We expect this as adult learners, so it goes without saying that our students both want and need this as well. In the absence of authentic meaning there is a tendency to disconnect or go off task, putting the learning experience at hand in jeopardy of not being successful.

By Chris McMurray One of the most valuable skillsets we can teach our students is the ability to code. Not only does it enhance their writing and math skills, but it also gives them a valuable mindset for future life and employment situations. Perhaps the top reason to teach our students how to code is that it gives them a strong basis for problem-solving and helps them understand the way things work.

Learning a new language is challenging, requiring a student to master four basic skills–listening, reading, speaking, and writing–from scratch. And it becomes even more challenging for ESL learners.

And while listening and reading aren’t that difficult to conquer (both are passive skills about consuming the language, so they are easier for students to handle), active skills like speak
