The Consortium for School Networking recently published a resource for school leaders on “The Future of Work,” which is a supplement to the CoSN 2025 Driving K-12 Innovation Report.
As the world we live in today and the world our students will live in tomorrow rapidly change, the priorities for what and how students learn must also change and adapt. CoSN’s 2025 Future of Work Report underscores the transformative impact that artificial intelligence has and will continue to have on the future of work.
The reality of AI’s impact requires educators to evaluate the technology skills students will need in their futures, regardless of their career choices. In addition, educators must understand the impacts of robotics, machine learning and more on future career options for all students.
CoSN’s 2025 Future of Work resource includes specific tips and recommendations for education leaders for prioritizing student engagement, teacher training and cultivating a culture where lifelong learning is the expectation—not the exception.
All are invited to learn more by accessing the CoSN 2025 Future of Work Report at:
