Welcome to the EduMagic Podcast: Inspiring Preservice Teachers to Shine

Welcome to Episode One of the EduMagic Podcast

Are you ready to unlock your teaching potential and discover the magic within? Welcome to Episode One of the EduMagic Podcast, where we explore what makes preservice teachers thrive and succeed in today’s classrooms.

I’m Dr. Sam Fecich, a professor of education at a liberal arts college in western Pennsylvania. Every day, I have the privilege of teaching future educators in areas like educational technology and special education. Watching students grow from freshmen to confident seniors is an incredible journey and I’m here to share that experience with you.

Why EduMagic Podcast? Why Now?

In 2018, I published my book, EduMagic: A Guide for Preservice Teachers. The response was overwhelming! Preservice teachers from around the world connected with its message, and their stories inspired me to create a platform where those voices could shine. That’s how the EduMagic Podcast was born.

What Can You Expect from the EduMagic Podcast?

Each week, I’ll sit down with amazing guests, preservice teachers, administrators, educators, and experts in the field. Together, we’ll dive into topics that matter most to future teachers, including:

• Memorable teaching moments and lessons learned

• Classroom strategies that work

• The eight pillars of EduMagic for success

• How to build a professional learning network (PLN) on Twitter and Instagram

• Using technology with purpose in the classroom

• Practicing mindfulness, grace, and kindness in teaching

  
  

Our conversations will inspire you to approach your college courses with a growth mindset, take control of your digital presence, and sprinkle a little magic into everyday lessons.

Beyond the Classroom

We’ll also have fun! Guests will share personal favorites, such as their go-to teaching accessory or songs to add to your playlist. Plus, you’ll hear stories about stepping outside comfort zones, embracing leadership opportunities, and making an impact beyond the college classroom.
