AI strategy & governance
AI is not governed with a usage policy: it is governed with coherent decisions across the three layers. Here are the frameworks — macro, meso and micro — for institutional strategy to reach the classroom without losing meaning.
Layers this area activates
Every educational transformation plays out in three layers at once. The layers are the same in any institution; their content and milestones change depending on whether it is a university, a school or a school network.
macro
Strategy, governance and institutional model
Institutional strategy, governance, educational model and AI policy. What the rectorate and board decide.
Typical milestones
Strategic plan · institutional graduate profile · assessment framework · AI strategy · evidence system
Purpose, identity and educational model of the school; governance between ownership, leadership and school board.
Typical milestones
School educational project · student exit profile · improvement plan · pedagogical leadership model
Shared educational framework of the network and governance between ownership, central team and school heads. The key decision: what is common and what remains each school's autonomy.
Typical milestones
Network educational framework · shared/local model · common exit profile · network dashboard
meso
Curriculum, programmes and academic organisation
Faculties, degrees and curricula. Where the model is translated into coherent programmes.
Typical milestones
Degree redesign · graduate profile per programme · cross-department coordination · accreditation dossier
Stages, cycles and teaching teams; organisation of time, space and progression across years.
Typical milestones
Stage planning · timetables and groupings · vertical coordination · teacher professional development
Coherence across schools: stages, planning, assessment criteria and teacher development aligned without uniformity.
Typical milestones
Comparable planning across schools · cross-school teacher communities · network training plan · practice transfer
micro
Learning experiences, assessment and classroom
Courses, learning experiences and assessment with the student. What is lived every week.
Typical milestones
Course guide · challenges and projects · rubrics and evidence · feedback · AI use in class
Classroom, tutoring and relationship with families. Where the model becomes visible every day.
Typical milestones
Units and projects · formative assessment · individual follow-up · communication with families
Each school's classroom, with its local context. The network provides framework and resources; each school provides the classroom translation.
Typical milestones
Context-adapted units · common assessment criteria · comparable student follow-up · families recognising the same purpose

Designing new interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary degrees: start with the profile, not the subjects
Most new degrees are designed by adding up courses from existing departments. How to design from the graduate profile and the problem the degree answers, and which organisational tensions must be resolved for it to survive.
