TIES Invited To Partner On Global CoSN K-12 STEM Initiative

STEM Consultant Jeremy Shorr Named To Advisory Board and Will Contribute To A Series of Publications

The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) has selected Jeremy Shorr, TIES Director of Digital Innovation and Early Learning, to serve on a prestigious advisory board of global K-12 education leaders who will explore and determine top themes poised to enrich teaching and learning. This will be done through a publication series titled, Driving K-12 Innovation and will provide school leaders with high-quality information on emerging issues and technology trends.

Mr. Shorr is one of approximately 100 esteemed advisors committed to advancing progressive practices in the field and addressing challenges and opportunities such as data privacy and ownership, social emotional learning, and tools for privacy & safety online. The advisory board recently identified 15 key Hurdles, Accelerators, and Tech Enablers for schools to leverage in 2020 in order to drive innovation in K-12 education. 

CoSN will issue its insights and findings from the advisory board in two individual free briefs. These publications, along with an implementation toolkit, will be released throughout 2020 to spur ongoing discussions and visibility that analyze the top Hurdles, Accelerators and Technology Enablers in K-12 education. This project is part of CoSN’s EdTechNext initiative, extending their long-standing work surrounding emerging technologies.
