NCSA’s National K-12 Studies

Every year, the NCSA presents a National K-12 Study that looks the state of cyberethics, cybersafety, and cybersecurity training in our nation's schools. Our 2010 survey, conducted by ETPRO and Zogby International and supported by Microsoft, polled 1,000 teachers, 400 school administrators, and 200 technology coordinators.

The State of Cyberethics, Cybersafety, and Cybersecurity Curriculum in the U.S. Survey

The 2010 State of K-12 Cyberethics, Cybersafety and Cybersecurity Curriculum in the U.S. Survey, an extension of the 2008 National Cyberethics, Cybersafety, and Cybersecurity Baseline Study, is an effort to understand current online safety and security education attitudes and practices of U.S. teachers, administrators, and technology coordinators.  The survey found that America’s young people aren’t receiving adequate instruction to use digital technology and navigate cyberspace in a safe, secure and responsible manner and are ill-prepared to address these subjects.
