Generative AI. Digital equity. Staffing shortages. These aren’t abstract trends; they’re the real forces shaping schools in 2025.
In this episode, Driving K–12 Innovation 2025: Ethics, Workforce, and What’s Next, we break down CoSN’s 2025 findings and what they mean for educators today. Based on the Driving K–12 Innovation 2025 Summit webinar, this conversation distills the big themes into practical insights.
We explore why ethical innovation requires more than adopting the newest tool, how schools can build capacity to retire outdated tech, and why preparing students for the future of work means redefining success beyond test scores.
Key Takeaways:
Innovation isn’t good or bad until it’s anchored to purpose
Ethical capacity must be built among teachers and students
Schools need to know when to retire tools that no longer serve learning
Adaptability, creativity, and new pathways are critical to the future workforce
