Indiana CTO Council was formed in 2009 to establish a CoSN state chapter. The chapter’s purpose is to enhance the skill set for chief technology officers in Indiana school districts through professional development and effective use of technology to enhance teaching and learning. The Indiana Chief Technology Officer Council was approved in October 2009 as CoSN’s 11th state chapter.
At the Indiana CTO Council, we are guided by three core values that shape our vision, decisions, and actions:
- Inclusive Community: We believe in fostering an inclusive community where diversity is celebrated, and everyone is seen, heard, and understood. We recognize that our strength lies in the richness of our differences and that by embracing a wide range of perspectives, we can achieve greater innovation and understanding. We are committed to creating a welcoming and equitable environment for all our members, partners, and stakeholders.
- Continous Growth: We are dedicated to continuous learning and growth. We understand that technology is constantly evolving, and so are the challenges our educational institutions face. We actively promote the pursuit of knowledge and skills development to stay at the forefront of educational technology. As a community, we’re dedicated to seeking new opportunities for personal and professional growth, fostering a culture of mentorship and collaboration in our collective journey of improvement.
- Lasting Impact: Our ultimate goal is to make a meaningful impact in the educational technology landscape of Indiana through visionary leadership. We recognize the transformative potential of technology in education and are committed to harnessing this potential to benefit students, teachers, and communities. We measure our success not only by the solutions we create but by the positive change we bring to the district we serve.”
These core values serve as the foundation of our organization, driving our mission to enhance educational technology, promote inclusivity, foster growth, and create lasting impact in the state of Indiana. We hold these values dear in all that we do, uniting us in a shared vision for a brighter future in education through technology.
