In this conversation, Keith Kruger, CEO of CoSN, speaks directly to the questions many school leaders and education technologists are asking right now: How do we adopt AI without rushing into it? Kruger emphasizes thoughtful implementation over a race to be first. Topics include looking beyond the classroom, using AI to solve educator retention and recruitment, and using Agentic AI to solve school administrative challenges. The discussion covers the speed bumps small and mid-size districts face, and why thoughtful implementation matters more than being first. The conversation offers practical guidance for district leaders trying to balance innovation, ethics, and real classroom impact as AI reshapes education.
