## Resource

EdTech value doesn’t speak for itself. Leaders do. K–12 districts are investing millions in education technology—but too often, the story behind those investments gets lost. Data lives in spreadsheets. Impact is felt in classrooms. And leaders are left trying to connect the dots for boards, families, and communities. This webinar is designed for the leaders who have to tell that story clearly, confidently, and credibly. Join a team of experienced K–12 EdTech leaders as they unpack how to translate complex metrics—ROI, TCO, and Value of Investment—into a narrative that decision-makers understand and trust. You’ll learn how to connect technology investments to instructional impact, equity, efficiency, and student outcomes, and how to communicate that value in ways that resonate beyond the IT department. This session goes beyond calculations. It’s about: Framing technology as a strategic investment, not a line item Aligning data with district goals, instructional priorities, and community values Making the case for future investments with clarity and confidence Ensuring everyone—from boards to parents—understands why this technology matters If you’ve ever struggled to explain the value of the technology you support—or to secure buy-in for what’s needed next—this conversation is for you. Because the right story can turn technology spending into shared understanding and sustained support. Note : The Webinar is free for members and available a low cost for non-members to attend live. And the recording will be posted on our YouTube channel for free for everyone: https://www.youtube.com/@CoSNweb Presenters: Frankie J.
