Cybersecurity Rubric Masterclass
Wednesday, February 25, 2026 | 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
The Cybersecurity Rubric (CR) Masterclass is an intensive, hands-on full day training designed to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the Cybersecurity Rubric (CR). This interactive masterclass combines group work, discussions, and self-assessment activities to provide a deep dive into the six core functions of the CR: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
Throughout the masterclass, participants will engage with specific examples relevant to education, allowing them to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. The training is structured to promote active learning and collaboration, with a focus on the practical application of the CR framework. By the end of the masterclass, participants will complete a cybersecurity self-evaluation using the CR 2.0 resource and be eligible to test for the Certified Cybersecurity Rubric Evaluator (CCRE) credential. A voucher will be provided to take the test at no cost upon completion of the summit (A $99 value). Participants may take the test at the conference or at a later date.

Traditional cybersecurity standards often prove too complex, costly, and ill-suited for educational settings. Enter the Cybersecurity Rubric (CR) – a game-changing framework tailored specifically for schools. Join us for an immersive, hands-on workshop where you’ll step into the shoes of a cybersecurity consultant tasked with evaluating and fortifying the defenses of Greenfield School District, a fictional K12 institution facing very real threats.
How can Superintendents, IT Directors, Digital Coaches, TOSA educators, Admins and teachers create a strategic Cybersecurity plan for their district alone?
They can’t!
That is where the NCCE IT/ Cybersecurity Summit can help!
