Key points:
A new Annual COSN report describes the challenges, mega trends and tools to impact educational innovation in 2025, and for the first time, the report also highlights the key issues that connect current educational challenges with future opportunities.
He 2025 K-12 driving innovation report Identify obstacles (challenges), accelerators (mega trends) and technology habilitators (tools), together with key bridges (connection themes) selected by the K-12 COSN Innovation Advisory Board, which includes global educators, technologists, teachers of changes and industrial partners.
“The 2025 K-12 innovation report urges educational leaders to adopt a holistic approach to the challenges facing schools, creating solutions adapted exclusively with their needs,” said Keith Krueger, CEO of COSN. “The report is not a plan for the unique responses for all, it is a catalyst for a significant dialogue. We hope you inspire leaders to reflect, collaborate and take bold measures to create learning environments where each student and educator can prosper. “
Obstacles: Obstacles that force schools to reduce speed, prepare and jump
- Attract and retain educators and IT professionals: Hiring and maintaining school staff is an important problem for school systems; Many educators are experiencing low financial compensation and social and emotional exhaustion, which causes them to leave aside their passion for teaching and leave the field.
- Evolution of teaching and learning: The evolution of teaching and learning is promoted by the need to prepare students for a dynamic and interconnected world. As society and technology continue to evolve, education must also be adapted to guarantee relevance and effectiveness.
- Digital Capital: Digital equity includes three interrelated components: digital bases (including digital literacy), conditions for learning and significant learning opportunities.
Accelerators: Real world megaters or catalysts that help motivate and increase the speed of innovation
- Apprentices Agency: Learner's agency has to do with students as creators of active elections in their education; It is about reconceptualizing his role of “student” to the “student”. Combined with a strong learning environment, students with agency could transform the innovative orders makers, experience a state of “flow”, in their learning experiences and learn much more authentically.
- Building the human capacity of leaders: Strengthen the professional community of schools and provide opportunities for educators and all K-12 professionals to learn and dominate new skills can open the door to innovative practices that can improve students' experiences.
- Change attitudes towards learning demonstration: There is a growing discussion base on the evaluation, documentation, communication and assignment of value for students learning. Memorization, cultural biases, limited applications of the real world: these are just some of the reasons why traditional tests may not be an effective means of evaluation and cannot accurately reflect the true understanding of a student of a subject.
Technological enablers: The tools that engage the wheels so that schools exceed obstacles and take advantage of accelerators
- Generative artificial intelligence (gen ai): In an era defined by rapid technological advances, Gen ai has become a transforming force in education. As school systems around the world explore the benefits and challenges of this technology, they are working hard to satisfy the urgent need for safe, effective and responsible use of the ai GEN.
- Adaptive Analysis and Technologies: These are digital technologies, often promoted by ai, which collect and use data related to teaching and learning. The analysis refers to the data analysis process collected on students learning and the opportunity to take advantage of data to inform instructional decision making. Adaptive technologies are tools that adapt to the student based on their interactions with technology.
- Broadband and connectivity without ties: Ubiquitous Broadband Internet and underlying technologies that allow robust connected learning, without requiring the devices to be physically connected (through cables, for example). These technologies allow mobility and learning at any time and anywhere.
Key bridges: Topics that connect today's educational challenges with tomorrow's opportunities.
- Ethical innovation It focuses on the “why” of change, aligning efforts with educational objectives such as promoting growth, equity and responsible digital citizenship. It emphasizes the importance of the design and implementation responsible for new technologies, safeguarding the privacy of students and promoting equitable access and benefit.
- Personalization He emphasizes the need to adapt the learning experiences to meet the diverse needs, strengths and aspirations of each student, promoting the commitment, the student's agency and equity.
- The future of work It highlights how the rhythm of rapid and accelerator change (in technology, society, communications, environment and other aspects of life) is transforming the future of work and placing students into an emerging world with social-technical dynamics both congruent and unpleasant of ours.
- Critical media literacy Upload that students must develop the ability to analyze, evaluate and critically discern the authenticity and credibility of information on several media platforms, giving them the necessary skills to distinguish between primary sources, manipulated means and manufactured information.
