Just to show how I actually am a grumpy old b*****d 😯 (and wasn't in any way targeting the OP or being specifically negative or particularly unpleasant)
I teach forensics at college level.
For introductory course, the general material I teach is
- basic conceptual
- basic practical
- tool use to achieve practical
For example,
- Concepts of partitioning schemata
- Understanding GPT
- Collecting partition information using X-Ways/FTK/EnCase/Autopsy
PM me if you are interested for more details, and course stuff.
Out of curiosity do you have a "board post formatting" in the practical and "check everything before pushing the Submit button, TWICE" in the conceptual? roll

Not to disparage the individuals who you have contact with, but there is a difference between security, incident response and digital forensics. their perspective, methodologies and thinking might be widely disparate.
jhup…
that's perfect! right in line with what i was planning on doing. thank you! thank you!
I think what i have been after is a reassurance that what I was wanting to teach is something that is in line with industry/other college standards.
I have support from the local police department, the local sheriff's office, and two friends that work for the military in their IT security areas (my old job before I turned academic).
THanks!

Reading your responses seems like you have already brought together some good support, John. And judging from all the replies you have now received here at FF the door is open if you need any further help.
One last point, perhaps you could keep us updated on your course, the structure and content headings you finally selected and, importantly, please let us know how the course is going for you?
Good luck.

Yep ) , it's one of the strange quirks of the board parser, it needs to be done line by line but it's a PITA to format (

Back to topic, as athulin pointed out, it's a rather vast field and some quite serious prerequisites are needed, in a typical UK (not necessarily to be taken as reference) course the actual "strictly forensic related topics" are usually touched on second year, after a more generic first year of computer science and programming, so I would say that even an "introductory course" needs to be tailored specifically to the intended audience (which was not specified), there is IMHO the concrete risk that there might be even an issue with a"glossary of common terms" that will need to include terms and concepts both technical and legal that if not part of the prerequisites will need some time to be taught (and digested/understood by the participants).
So, in order to provide (hopefully) some useful "tips" some more details on the intended program/topics of the course should be provided, like in what more general course of study (and at which point of it) it is to be inserted, what are the intended prerequisites/qualifications to enroll in the course, etc., is the scope to cover the "technical" or the "legal" part (or both) etc.
