Dear IASP Members,

I'm excited to share our latest episode of the IASP Leadership Podcast: From the AP Lens: A Look Ahead 2.0 – The New Diploma and Special Populations. This conversation lifts the voices of assistant principals and centers on what matters most—our students.

In this episode, I sit down with Kristen Peterson (Chesterton HS) and Kyle Owens (Danville CHS), two passionate leaders who contributed to the October Indianagram. Together, we explore how Indiana's new diploma is shaping planning, communication, and inclusive practices—especially for our students with IEPs, ILPs, and emerging multilingual backgrounds.

This episode is packed with ideas, strategies, and encouragement. Whether you're just beginning to unpack the new requirements or you're already leading change in your building, I think you'll find this episode helpful, hopeful, and grounded in real-world leadership.

Lead on,
Dr. Tiffany Barrett
Assistant Executive Director
Indiana Association of School Principals
