IASP Leadership Podcast Season 7: Episode 253

In this episode of the IASP Leadership Podcast, Dr. Tiffany D. Barrett is joined by Kristen Peterson, Associate Principal at Chesterton High School and IASP Assistant Principal Liaison, along with Tom Stoner, Assistant Principal at Rensselaer Central High School and author of this month's From the AP Lens article in the April Indianagram.

Together, they highlight an inspiring student-led initiative known as BAMFAM (Bomber Athletic Medicine Family), a program that empowers students to take an active role in school safety, wellness, and community impact. From developing a cardiac emergency response plan to training staff and students in CPR, and even hosting teddy bear clinics for elementary students, BAMFAM demonstrates the powerful role students can play in shaping a culture of care and safety.

Listeners will hear practical strategies for:

Empowering student leadership in meaningful ways
Building a culture of safety and well-being
Creating community partnerships that extend beyond school walls
Taking the first steps to launch student-led initiatives

This conversation offers actionable ideas and inspiration for assistant principals and school leaders looking to strengthen student voice, safety, and leadership in their schools.

Be sure to read the full From the AP Lens article in the April edition of the Indianagram for even more insights and ideas.

Kristen Peterson, Associate Principal, Chesterton High School
