Mission Statement
The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), a national non-profit organization, is the premier voice in education technology leadership. CoSN's mission is to serve as the national organization for K-12 technology leaders who use technology strategically to improve learning.

Our membership includes a unique blend of technology leaders from the public and private sectors. Our target audience includes key technology leaders (often called Chief Technology Officers--CTOs) in leading-edge states and districts, as well as those technology leaders who wish to accelerate their districts' or states' systemic technology use.

• Leadership Development: CoSN engages in programs and activities that improve the capabilities of school leaders at the national, state and local levels to ensure that information technology has a direct and positive impact on student learning.
• Advocacy: CoSN maintains a strong and effective voice in policy formation and implementation at the federal level to ensure that law and policy at the federal level serve the interests of all students in our schools.
• Coalition Building: CoSN actively fosters partnerships and collaborative efforts with other organizations, government agencies and the private sector to improve access, equity and professional development around the use of technology in schools.
• Emerging Technology: As new technologies are developed and made available to schools and educators, leaders need information and tools on how to create the best learning environments for their students and teachers. CoSN stays on top of emerging technology trends and provides the framework to help school leaders ask important questions and evaluate the options.
