Higher education institutions can integrate a Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (FCMO) without complications. But it almost always is complicated. And these are the 3 leading causes: 1- The company treats FCMOs as regular VPs with a packed schedule. 2- The onboarding process could be better. 3- Expectations are not clear. A fractional CMO's time should align with our institution's goals. Here's how we make sure everyone is on the same page: 1. The first step is to define the role. --> Identify the specific marketing goals the fractional CMO will address. --> Align these goals with the institution's strategic plan. --> Set clear expectations for the role, differentiating it from a full-time VP. 2. The second step is to communicate the role campus-wide --> Conduct straightforward communication with faculty, deans, and leaders. --> Clarify the responsibilities and scope of the fractional CMO's role. --> Foster campus-wide understanding of this unique position. 3. The final onboarding step is to establish collaborative processes. --> Arrange strategy meetings with the fractional CMO and senior leadership. --> Ensure these meetings are focused on alignment and feedback. --> Set up ongoing communication between the fractional CMO and staff. This approach ensures the effective integration of a fractional CMO. To maximize your FCMO's strategic impact, do this: Define the Role → Communicate Campus-Wide → Establish Collaboration.

Educators Wrestle with the real-life applications of the 2024 National Educational Technology Plan - insights from David Miyashiro, Eileen Belastock, CETL, Bonnie Chelette, and D'Andre Weaver, Ph.D. I love this quote: "Holistic planning also means encouraging teachers to ask, “Why am I using this technology? What am I using it for, and how is it helping?” There should be a balance between work that’s on the computer and work that isn’t." #edtech #k12education

AI is revolutionizing resource allocation in school districts, with potentially game-changing implications for educational equity and efficiency. A recent study by EdTech Insights found that AI-driven resource management systems can improve budget efficiency by up to 15% while simultaneously addressing historical inequities in resource distribution. For example, one school district implemented an AI system to analyze historical spending patterns, student performance data, and demographic information. The insights gained allowed them to redistribute resources more equitably, resulting in a 10% improvement in standardized test scores in previously underserved schools within just one year. Key areas where AI is making a difference include: 1. Predictive maintenance of facilities and equipment 2. Optimized staffing based on student needs 3. More efficient allocation of educational materials As district leaders, we must ask ourselves: How can we leverage AI to not just cut costs, but to genuinely improve educational outcomes? What ethical considerations should we keep in mind as we implement these systems? I'm curious to hear from other administrators: What's been your experience with AI in resource allocation? What challenges or successes have you encountered? #AIinEducation #DistrictOptimization #EducationalEquity"
