Learn the most up-to-date information and gain a comprehensive understanding of Generative AI, including current trends, risks, and opportunities in education.
Use the CoSN webtool and AI tools to complete the workshop tasks, enabling participants to directly apply these resources to assess their district’s AI readiness and develop an AI strategy.

Important Session Information:

Certified CoSN Generative AI National Lead Trainers are leading the CoSN Generative AI District Leaders Workshop—a two-part, in-person training with district work between sessions—designed to help school districts confidently assess their readiness for Generative AI, understand its potential and risks, and take the next steps toward a comprehensive AI strategy.
The workshop includes:
Day 1 (Half Day) – Introduction to the CoSN/CGCS Generative AI Maturity Tool and exploration of how AI can impact instruction, operations, governance, and planning. District teams leave with clear guidance for completing the readiness assessment and gathering evidence before Day 2.
District Work (Between Sessions) – Over the following weeks, teams work locally to complete the Generative AI Maturity Assessment, assign sections to the right roles, collect evidence, and align on current and desired maturity levels.
Day 2 (Full Day) – Dive into results, identification of strengths and gaps, and creation of a customized Generative AI Improvement Plan with quarterly actions, KPIs, and clear next steps.
District teams will define a future vision for AI aligned with their mission and values, then use supporting documents to draft an initial adoption roadmap with actionable steps across the seven domains of AI maturity. This structured process equips cross-functional leadership teams to assess their current state, set clear priorities, and move forward confidently—whether just starting their AI journey or building on existing efforts.
First Steps:

Select a District Lead to coordinate the workshop effort.
Assemble a District Team (3+ leaders is ideal).
Register all team members.

Recommended attendees include the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Technology Director, Curriculum Director, Operations Director, Finance Officer, and other cabinet-level positions.
In cases where smaller districts do not have formal roles in these areas, they should identify the key decision-makers best suited to participate.
