Cover Story: Computer science, cybersecurity education, and microcredentials are becoming more pervasive in all levels of education. The purpose of this study was to partner with precollegiate teachers to (1) investigate the self-efficacy of 30 precollegiate teacher participants toward computer science before, during, and after three iterations of a cybersecurity microcredential and (2) make changes to the cybersecurity microcredential to improve its effectiveness. Findings show that precollegiate teachers’ self-efficacy scores toward computer science increased, and there are areas in need of attention when creating microcredentials. The implications of this research include the importance of purposefully crafting microcredentials and professional developments, including aspects of creating effective partnerships. View this paper
