Continuous Learning, AI, and Digital Education Strategy

CoSN CEO Keith R. Krueger welcomed everyone, particularly the delegation from the US and Australia, to discuss the importance of continuous learning, especially in the context of the pandemic. The conversation focused on the sustainability of investments in education and infrastructure, and the potential of artificial intelligence in education. Carlos Medina from the Spanish Ministry of Education provided insights on their digital education strategy, highlighting a significant investment of €1 billion over the years to equip all classrooms in Spain and close the digital divide by providing devices to students. He also shared that they have invested €300 million in a digital school plan for all schools in Spain and aim to certify the digital competence of 560,000 teachers in the next year.

Join us for a dynamic discussion on the K-12 Generative AI Maturity Tool, developed collaboratively by CoSN, the Council of Great City Schools (CGCS), and Amazon Web Services (AWS). This tool builds on the insights from the K-12 Generative AI Readiness Checklist launched in the autumn of 2023. It is designed to help school districts assess and enhance their readiness for integrating Generative AI technologies.

Throughout the webinar, a district leader currently using the tool will share experiences and insights, demonstrating how the tool has supported their instructional and operational objectives.

Participants will learn how to access the tool, evaluate their district’s AI maturity, secure additional support, and utilize the tailored recommendations to foster continuous improvement.
