CoSN 2025 Driving K-12 Innovation Report
CoSN recently released the 2025 Driving K-12 Innovation Report. The Driving K-12 Innovation Series is the process by which CoSN shares high quality global trend reports regarding the use of emerging technologies to transform K-12 teaching and learning. CoSN’s annual Driving K-12 Innovation Report is produced through the collaborative work of a global advisory board made up of K-12 education leaders, practitioners, changemakers and industry partners. The annual report begins with a look at some of the current challenges, “Hurdles”, school districts encounter when leading technology innovation. From there the report focuses on the “Accelerators” to support and drive progress. The final focus of the report is an overview of current “Tech Enablers” which can assist school systems in accomplishing their innovation goals. To preview the specific topics which fell into each of the three main categories this year as well as access the link to download the full 2025 report please go to https://www.cosn.org/k12innovation/.
