for School Networking ( CoSNE) have been approved by the CoSN Board of Directors as official State Chapters. CoSN State Chapters play a crucial role in advancing the organization’s mission at the local level. These chapters provide a platform for education technology leaders to collaborate, share best practices and advocate for innovative solutions in their regions. Through networking events, professional development opportunities and policy influence, CoSN State Chapters empower members to drive impactful change in their school districts.</p> <p> MACE is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to advancing educational technology by fostering collaboration, sharing best practices and supporting educators in the effective use of technology. The organization works to enhance education through responsible use of hardware and software, engage with industry partners to establish technical standards, and connect professionals in the field.   CoSNE was established by the Nebraska Association of Technology Administrators ( NATA), along with a group of Nebraska K-12 chief technology officers, chief information officers and technology directors in smaller districts/regions — or not previously associated with NATA. CoSNE is advancing the focus on policy advocacy, professional development, and engagement with state and national entities to advance educational technology leadership and best practices for every K-12 technology leader across Nebraska. </p> <p></span> </div> <p> <!-- Reveal Modals begin --></p> <div class="boxed" style="background: linear-gradient(180deg, #FFFFFF 40.35%, #DAEFFF 108.17%); margin-bottom:50px"> <div align="left" style="margin:0 10px 10px 10px"> <div class="gf_browser_chrome gform_wrapper gravity-theme gform-theme--no-framework" data-form-theme="gravity-theme" data-form-index="0" id="gform_wrapper_640" style="display:none"> <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="gform_ajax_frame_640" id="gform_640" action="/newsline/2025/04/24/cosn-state-chapters-grow-with-additions-of-mace-and-cosne/#gf_640" data-formid="640" novalidate=""> <div class="gform-body gform_body"> <div id="gform_page_640_1" class="gform_page " data-js="page-field-id-0"> <div class="gform_page_fields"> <div id="gform_fields_640" class="gform_fields top_label form_sublabel_above description_below validation_below"> <div id="field_640_46" class="gfield gfield--type-html gfield--input-type-html gfield--width-full gfield_html gfield_html_formatted gfield_no_follows_desc field_sublabel_above gfield--no-description field_description_below field_validation_below gfield_visibility_visible" data-js-reload="field_640_46"> <h3 align="center" style="margin: 0 5px 15px 5px;"><strong>Create your Free Account to Continue Reading</strong></h3> <p align="center" style="margin: 0 20px 20px 20px;">eSchool News is Free for qualified educators.

Using powerful speech recognition technology, the program supports students in grades K-6 to build their linguistic confidence in academic English.</p> <p>“More than 162,000 students and 77,000 educators at 7,400 schools used the program during the 2024 school year. In addition, those students practiced academic conversations 4.3 million times in the program,” said Lexia President, Nick Gaehde. “The numbers show just how much students and educators have needed access to a culturally responsive language learning solution.”</p> <p>One of those educators who used the program is Lynmara Colón, the director of Student Opportunity and Multilingual Services at Prince William County Schools in Virginia. After a pilot, the district has allowed individual middle and elementary schools to purchase Lexia English during the 2024-2025 school year. Prince William County Schools serves more than 20,000 English learners who speak 140 languages. “We are the 10th most diverse district in the nation,” Colón said. “But when I try to find tools for diverse students, there’s not a lot that meets the specific needs of the student population we serve.”</p> <p>Colón noted that the program had boosted student growth to the point of reducing her worries about providing staff with a high-quality tool focused on helping Emergent Bilingual students. She expressed appreciation for the way the program helps her forecast and make sense of language acquisition data. “With Lexia, I can have visibility into how they’re doing with language comprehension,” she said. “I always know to expect the best from our Lexia partners. I have high expectations, and they never disappoint.”</p> <p>Lexia English’s approach to English language learning is to empower emergent bilinguals by honoring their heritage languages and offering culturally responsive, adaptive learning pathways to foster academic and linguistic growth. Seventeen characters with diverse backgrounds help students practice speaking skills by engaging with content in academic subjects such as math, science, social studies, and general knowledge.</p> <p>Gaehde concluded, “With Lexia English, educators can celebrate multilingualism in the classroom, providing students with the tools to succeed in both English language development and overall academic achievement.”</p> <p><strong>About Lexia</strong></p> <p>Lexia®, a Cambium Learning® Group brand, is transforming literacy education, driving change in 1 of every 3 school districts across the United States.
