CoSN recently published a resource for school leaders on “The Future of Work” which is a supplement to the CoSN 2025 Driving K-12 Innovation Report. As the world we are living in today and the world our students will be living in tomorrow rapidly changes, the priorities for what and how students learn must also change and adapt. CoSN’s 2025 Future of Work Report underscores the transformative impact that AI has and will continue to have on what the Future of Work looks like. The reality of AI’s impact requires educators to evaluate the technology skills students will need in their futures, regardless of their career choices. In addition, educators must have an understanding the impact of robotics, machine learning and more on the future career options for all students.
CoSN’s 2025 Future of Work resource includes specific tips and recommendations for education leaders when it comes to prioritizing student engagement, teacher training and cultivating a culture where lifelong learning is the expectation — not the exception — for all students.
