CoSN Leads The Way
CoSN is dedicated to empowering education leaders with the knowledge and resources needed to drive meaningful change in K-12 education through emerging technology. Our two key initiatives—Driving K-12 Innovation and the EdTech Innovation Committee—work in concert to explore the trends, challenges, and technologies defining the future of learning.

Driving K-12 Innovation
CoSN continues its commitment to sharing high-quality trend reports that support the use of emerging technology in K-12 education to transform learning. In this initiative, a global 100+ advisory board of K-12 leaders, practitioners, and changemakers engage in discourse about the major themes driving, hindering, and enabling teaching and learning innovation at schools. CoSN members and partners are privy to the survey results released in early each calendar year.
This committee is not member exclusive.
EdTech Innovation Committee
The EdTech Innovation Committee (formerly the Emerging Technologies Committee) develops resources year-round on the Driving K-12 Topics, and other timely topics as they arise, that have the potential to significantly impact K-12 education. These resources are created to inform CoSN members on EdTech Innovations – building on the annual Driving K-12 Innovation Report, especially the Tech Enablers – with a focus on school district technology leaders/CIO/CTOs and their teams.
This committee is member exclusive.

Advice to Do More with Less
Actionable insights from the 2025 EdTech Innovation Committee & Driving K-12 Innovation Advisory Board
Hurdles
Hurdles are obstacles that make participants slow down, evaluate, practice, and then make the leap to better support teaching and learning.
Accelerators
Accelerators are megatrends that drive change – sometimes suddenly and sometimes so gradually the implications aren’t readily apparent.
Tech Enablers
Tech Enablers are tools that support smoother leaps over the hurdles and expansive changes in global K-12 Education.
