    Hello IASP Members, This week on the IASP Advocacy Podcast, we're looking at advocacy through a different lens. As school leaders, advocacy isn't just about legislation — it's also about telling the story of your school. Whether it's culture, attendance, or programming, we are always sharing what makes our schools unique. In this episode, I'm joined by IASP's new intern, who shares her work-based learning experience and talks about her role in launching Reel Impact — a brand new digital media competition from IASP Student Programs. You'll hear about: The power of work-based learning opportunities What it takes to create a short, high-impact video How her school community reacted to her project Why Reel Impact videos can be powerful tools for advocacy — not only with students and parents, but also with local officials and state legislators. Consider how you and your students could use Reel Impact to showcase your school's story while also engaging your community and decision-makers. Thanks for all you do to advocate for your schools and your students! Warm regards, Cindy Long Assistant Executive Director Indiana Association of School Principals
