ABOUT Dr. Samantha (Sam) Fecich

I’m Dr. Samantha Fecich, an educator, author, and podcast host passionate about helping future teachers transition from campus to classroom. My teaching philosophy incorporates innovative practices, educational technology, and the Universal Design for Learning framework. 

​

In addition to my academic role, I’ve authored the EduMagic series, which includes titles such as "EduMagic: A Guide for Preservice Teachers," "Crush It from the Start: 50 Tips for New Teachers," "Digital PD for Educators", and "EduMagic Shine On: A Guide for New Teachers." These books are designed to provide practical advice and encouragement for preservice and new teachers, helping them navigate the early stages of their teaching careers.

​

I also host the EduMagic podcast, a platform that empowers and inspires new and aspiring educators. On the show, I invite various guests, including experienced teachers and educational specialists, to share their insights and strategies for success in the classroom.

​

My goal is to mentor future teachers by providing them with the necessary skills, tools, and confidence to succeed. Through my work, I aim to transform the educational landscape by equipping the next generation of teachers with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive.

 

When I'm not teaching courses related to edtech and special ed, you can find me spending time with family and friends, going to yard sales, collecting pinball machines, baking chocolate truffles, and staying healthy.
