   IASP Leadership Podcast Season 8: Episode 272, Choose Your Room: Why Leadership Growth Requires Connection

   Leadership can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be lonely. In this special solo episode of the IASP Leadership Podcast, Dr. Tiffany Barrett invites Indiana school leaders to consider a simple but powerful question: Are you intentionally putting yourself in the rooms that help you grow? Tiffany previews several opportunities ahead for IASP members, including the Assistant Principals Conference, the Fall Professionals Conference, and the Women in Education Conference, while reminding listeners that professional learning is about far more than filling a notebook. The right room can reconnect us to our purpose, challenge our thinking, strengthen our leadership, and remind us that we do not have to do this work alone. Listeners will also hear about: • The Assistant Principals Conference, November 16–17, featuring opening keynote Holly Rowe • The 2026 Fall Professionals Conference, November 22–24 at the JW Marriott Indianapolis, featuring Ann Marie Anderson, Rafael Sanchez, Dr. Katie Jenner, Marlon Stiles, and more • IASP opportunities including INALI, IPLI, the Aspiring Leaders Institute, Indianagram, and the IASP Leadership Podcast • The Women in Education Conference, February 17–18 • Three reflective questions every leader can use right now to examine where their leadership energy is going Tiffany closes with a challenge: Choose your room. Choose the people who stretch your thinking. Choose the conversations that help you grow. Choose opportunities to step away from the urgent long enough to invest in what is important. Because leadership growth rarely happens by accident. We have to choose it.

   IASP Advocacy Podcast 10.2.26

   We talk a lot about student leadership—but are we intentionally teaching students how to lead, or simply identifying the students who already look like leaders? This week on the IASP Advocacy Podcast, I'm joined by Dave Strouse, IASP Assistant Executive Director, to talk about new student leadership lessons designed for elementary, middle, and high school students. We'll talk about the skills these lessons develop, how schools can easily put them to use, and how student leadership connects to advocacy. After all, we spend a lot of time advocating for students. Part of our work is also preparing them to find their own voice and advocate for themselves and others.

   IASP Leadership Podcast Season 8: Episode 271 Voices from the IASP Board of Directors

   In this episode of the IASP Leadership Podcast, Dr. Tiffany D. Barrett steps out of the IASP Board of Directors meeting with three board members who represent elementary, middle, and high school leadership in suburban, urban, and rural settings: Christie Heerschop of Mary Frank Elementary in Penn-Harris-Madison, Jeremy Tucker of Cornerstone Alternative School in South Bend, and Sean Fisher of North Posey High School. Together, they talk about what leading looks like in their communities, why they believe principals across Indiana are more alike than different, and what serving on the IASP board has meant to them personally and professionally. They share how they found their way to the board, including district involvement, mentorship, and INALI, and offer honest encouragement for any principal who is thinking about stepping forward. The conversation closes with what each of them is most excited about in their buildings this fall. If you've ever wondered what happens when the IASP board gathers, or whether one of those seats might be yours someday, this episode is for you. Lead on, Indiana! Show Notes Our board is intentionally built around Indiana's 12 IASP districts, with voices from elementary, middle, and high school and from suburban, urban, and rural settings. In this episode, three board members share what that looks like from their seats. In this episode Jeremy Tucker reflects on leading in both rural and urban settings: "The challenges may look different, but the work is remarkably similar." Sean Fisher describes the role of a rural school at the heart of its town: "We're truly a community school. We're the community center for our area." Christie Heerschop talks about serving several communities within a suburban corporation and sums up the conversation: "I think we are more similar than we are different." All three explain what board service involves, from advocacy for schools across the state to networking that eases the isolation of the principalship. On becoming a board member, the guests recommend joining IASP, getting involved at the district level, attending district meetings, and expressing interest to district leaders or to IASP directly. Jeremy's reminder: "You don't have to have all the answers to be a board member." Christie invites more elementary leaders to attend district meetings and consider board service. This fall, Christie is looking forward to Mustangs Give Back, a student leadership program where fourth and fifth graders take on community-based projects. Sean is launching the Viking Incentive Program at North Posey. Jeremy is preparing to welcome the first students to Cornerstone Alternative School in South Bend. Interested in board service?
