CoSN/AASA edLeader Panel Broadcasts on the CoSN 2025 Driving K-12 Innovation Report
On Monday, September 8, 2025, CoSN, in partnership with AASA, launched Season 8 of the EmpowerED Superintendents edLeader Panel Series, sponsored by ClassLink, and broadcast on edWeb.net. Season 8 – which will run through March 9, 2026 – began with a two-part series focused on CoSN’s 2025 Driving K-12 Innovation Report, which illustrates the hurdles, accelerators and technology enablers that drive technology innovation within school district settings.
Part 1 of the two-part series on the CoSN Driving K-12 Innovation Report – which aired on Monday, September 8, 2025 – focused on the current hurdles (challenges) and accelerators (megatrends) impacting innovation in K-12 education. The September 8 broadcast featured three leading edge superintendents who shared their perspectives on how two of the three topics covered in the CoSN 2025 Driving K-12 Innovation Report play out in their school districts. The superintendent panel included Dr. Karen Cheser, 2025 EmpowerED Superintendent of the Year, who serves as Superintendent of Durango Public Schools, Colorado, Dr. Kelly May-Vollmar, Superintendent, Desert Sands USD, California, and Mr. Glenn Robbins, Superintendent of Brigantine Public School District, New Jersey.

Part 2 of the series highlighting the CoSN Driving K-12 Innovation Report airs on Monday, October 6, 2025 at 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The three superintendents who were featured in Part 1 return for the October 6 broadcast.
