District teams that have attended a CoSN AI District Leaders Action Summit are invited to participate in a monthly, facilitated virtual roundtable series.
District leaders who have attended a CoSN AI Action Summit have expressed a need for ongoing support as they move from assessment and planning to implementation.
The AI Summit Virtual Roundtables were developed to provide a forum where district leaders can learn from one another, share challenges and successes, exchange resources, and receive peer support while implementing AI initiatives in their schools and districts.
This is not another training program. It is a collaborative learning community focused on helping district leaders successfully advance their AI goals.

As noted above, districts are encouraged to involve additional team members throughout the series based on the topic of each monthly session.
Team Lead
We also recommend that districts designate a Team Lead who attends all sessions to help maintain continuity and support ongoing coordination of roadmap implementation efforts.

How the Roundtables Work
The Roundtables are participant-driven. Discussion topics will be shaped by participant needs, challenges, and priorities identified through surveys and ongoing feedback.
Rather than following a predetermined curriculum, sessions will focus on the issues most relevant to participating districts.
The CoSN/CGCS Maturity Tool, AI Readiness framework, and problem statement/roadmap process will provide a common language for discussing challenges, designing solutions, and planning next steps.

There will be one 60-minute virtual session per month. Each session may include:
Progress Check-In
Participants share recent accomplishments and implementation progress.
District Spotlight
A participating district highlights its AI journey, lessons learned, and current challenges.
