CoSN’s Team Award recognizes a district leadership team for its transformative impact on student learning with technology.
Teams from all types of schools—public, charter, private, parochial, or independent—are eligible for the Team Award. Nominees must be CoSN members. CoSN Board members and their institutions are ineligible for CoSN awards.
CoSN Chapters are allowed to submit one nominee from their state for each award. If your chapter submits a nominee, no other submissions from that state will be considered. Only current CoSN members may be considered for the CoSN Team Award.
Nominations are due 12/17/2021.
