摘要:IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, there has been no shortage of new data surrounding education. Like the Twitter and news cycle, it’s hard to keep up and make sense of what statistics matter most to help address the needs of districts today. When it comes to advancing 21st-century learning settings, I’m going to catch you up and give you the statistics that you need to know. Earlier this spring, CoSN unveiled the new fi ndings from our 2018 National K-12 IT Leadership Survey Report. Conducted in partnership with Dude Solutions and MDR, the annual survey provides the education community with insights from school system technology leaders on their challenges and priorities. This year’s report found that school leaders place a high priority on cybersecurity and broadband/ network capacity. When asked to rate the importance of privacy and security of student data, 68 percent of IT leaders indicated that it was more important than the prior year. For the fourth straight year, budget constraints are the top challenge facing school technology leaders, followed by the unavailability of relevant training and professional development, as well as the existence of silos in school districts.
