Two Global Voices on the Future of AI in K–12 Education

Two of the world’s most influential education policy leaders come together for a timely, unscripted conversation on what AI means for schools—now and next.

Rebecca Winthrop (Brookings Institution) and Andreas Schleicher (OECD), lead authors of newly released, high-profile global reports on AI in K–12 education, go beyond the headlines to unpack what their research really means for district leaders.

The Research Behind the Conversation

This dialogue draws from two major global reports:

Key Questions They’ll Explore

Where do their findings align?
Where do they diverge?
And most importantly: What should education leaders do next?

What You’ll Gain From This Conversation

Participants will hear candid insights on:

  • The biggest opportunities and risks AI presents for K-12 systems
  • What global data tells us about readiness, equity, and impact
  • How policy and practice must evolve in response
  • Practical guidance for superintendents, CTOs, and state leaders navigating AI adoption

Why This Session Matters

This is a rare opportunity to hear two global thought leaders engage directly—with each other and with CoSN members—about the decisions shaping the future of learning in an AI-driven world.
