In this episode, you'll hear from Lisa Streckert at St. Croix Lutheran Academy in Minnesota and learn her best tips for successful school storytelling on social media.Consistency Builds Engagement: Posting daily and encouraging simple interactions from parents and teachers can lead to strong, consistent engagement, even in a smaller school setting.Use a School-Owned iPhone: Having a dedicated phone for photos, content collection, and text submissions from staff has been a game-changer for organizing and separating work/personal life.Quick, Authentic Moments Win: Reels and posts featuring spontaneous, relatable moments—like the principal shoveling snow—often perform better than polished, time-consuming content.Divide and Conquer for Big Events: Tag-teaming large events like choir festivals with one person on photos and another on video helps capture more content with less stress and boosts sharing across schools.SPECIAL GUESTLisa StreckertCommunications Assistant and Middle School Administrative AssistantSt. Croix Lutheran Academy, MinnesotaEmail: lstreckert@stcroixlutheran.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisastreckert/ Website: https://stcroixlutheran.org Facebook: https://facebook.com/stcroixlutheran Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stcroixlutheran LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/school/saint-croix-lutheran-academy USEFUL INFORMATIONJoin the LIVE Golden Gribble Awards on Friday, May 9th, at noon EDT!

For the last two decades, architect and educator JP Reuer has been exploring how artists can become vital, integrated members of their communities rather than isolated figures working on the fringes of society. That ethos now fuels his most ambitious project to date: Small School, a Raleigh-based arts organization that reimagines advanced arts education as more accessible, collaborative and deeply embedded in local culture.Through Small School, JP has rejected the traditional MFA model in favor of a nimbler, community-driven approach. The organization brings renowned visiting artists to the Triangle area to engage with local artists through workshops, public events and one-on-one studio visits, an exchange that empowers both emerging and established artists while fostering a richer creative ecosystem.In this episode, JP traces his journey from academia to founding Small School, sharing what he's learned about the evolving role of artists in society. He discusses the power of bringing artists out of ivory towers and into the heart of their communities and why rethinking arts education is essential to supporting a more inclusive and dynamic creative landscape.https://smallschool.org/

Introduction This episode of the InspirED SparkCast discusses the 2022 Independent School Cost-Per-Enrollment Study produced jointly by the Enrollment Management Association (EMA), the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), and National Business Officers Association (NBOA) to make informed decisions around funding and support for enrollment efforts.  [Links above lead to the study. Your school must be a member of one of the organizations to be eligible for download.] This is the Executive Summary on the NAIS website. Among the independent schools that participated in this research, enrollment costs were as follows: The median cost-per-enrollment (CPE) was $3,677 The median cost-per-inquiry (CPI) was $697 The median ROI was $7 in tuition for each dollar spent to enroll a new student in their first year Enrollment costs varied significantly across school demographics. The largest schools (those with 700+ students) had the lowest CPE of all school groups—and saw the highest return on their investment ($8.60 in tuition for each dollar spent on enrollment management in the first year of tuition). Elementary schools had the smallest cost per enrollment ($2,869 per enrollee vs. the median $3,677 per enrollee.) The median CPE for secondary schools was $5,844.   The full report contains additional data on enrollment costs sorted by school type (day/boarding), size, region, and grade levels served.    Kevin MacNeil        Kevin is the CAO and Partner of Metric Marketing. Kevin has worked with more than a hundred independent schools across North America. Exposed to nearly a decade of admissions marketing campaigns, he prides himself on helping schools make decisions based on data. He is a practiced teacher of marketing and advertising, including work with NAIS, NYSAIS, EMA, AISAP, InspirED, ISSL, CAIS.  Metric Marketing started as a web development/tech company in 1999, and Kevin joined them in 2008. During that time, the company began to transform into a digital advertising agency and then a full-service agency. In 2013, Metric started working with private schools, and by 2019, they were working with schools across North America. Kevin realized his and Metric's passion was to help schools grow.
