2026 Driving K-12 Advisory Members(opens in new tab)

2026 Advisory Board Transition Year

CoSN’s Driving K-12 Innovation initiative is entering an exciting new phase designed to create deeper collaboration, stronger implementation-focused insights, and expanded engagement opportunities for Advisory Board members and the broader community.

As part of a transition to a new annual project timeline launching in 2027, the 2026 Part 2 Advisory Board will focus on the development of the new Driving K-12 Innovation in Action Report, focused on showcasing how districts are operationalizing innovation trends in practice.

Rather than revisiting trends already identified in the 2026 report, this cycle’s Advisory Board members will collaborate to showcase how districts are operationalizing innovation in practice around the Top Topics in 2026. This work will include strategic discussion, synchronous engagement opportunities, and case study development designed to provide districts with concrete examples and actionable insights.

The publication will be released during a webinar in November 2026 highlighting innovation stories, implementation strategies, and lessons learned from international edtech changemakers.

The EdTech Innovation Committee (formerly the Emerging Technologies Committee) develops resources year-round on the Driving K-12 Topics, and other timely topics as they arise, that have the potential to significantly impact K-12 education. These resources are created to inform CoSN members on EdTech Innovations – building on the annual Driving K-12 Innovation Report, especially the Tech Enablers – with a focus on school district technology leaders/CIO/CTOs and their teams.
This committee is member exclusive.
