As Chief Academic Officers, we help ensure that everything is put in place in education facilities to create an optimal academic environment for students and the faculty. We monitor schools and programs to make sure that academic standards are met and that regulations are followed. We work in collaboration with other leaders to maintain academic systems and bring solutions to challenges. While the specific duties can vary from employer to employer, our core duties include establishing development plans, determining curriculum, creating and implementing budgets, and providing direction for educational staff. It is upon us to meet the performance outcomes of employees and students. Providing support to our team members and managing professional development programs for teachers might also fall under our umbrella. Chief Academic Officers might work in colleges or in K-12 schools.
