Look for schools that feed your teaching soul, that support your teaching philosophy.” “Your classroom does not need to be Pinterest perfect from day one.” Tips new teachers: Familiarize yourself with the curriculum, get to know your students and other staff, and look for additional resources “Make those small movements toward building relationships with students before or during day one, but it’s not something that ends after that first week; we get to keep knowing our students throughout that school year.” Tips for preservice teachers: Set up professional social media accounts, create and maintain a digital portfolio, connect with other educators online, and look for opportunities to present content at conferences or in written form Find out about Sam’s podcast and book on her website: https://www.sfecich.com/ Edumagic: A Guide for Preservice Teachers and Edumagic Shine On: A Guide for New Teachers “You are strong, you are brave, you are courageous.

Jen sits down with Dr. Sam Fecich to discuss her experiences as a beginning teacher, common successes and struggles beginning teachers encounter as they enter the field, and how beginning teachers make self-care a priority during their first year of teaching. 

Hi, I'm Dr. Sam Fecich and I am here to tell you that teaching doesn't begin when you walk across the stage at graduation, but instead teaching begins during your first college class at 8:00 AM. I like to think of myself as a "Game Changer" (KTI 2017) in the field of higher education and educational technology. I am a professor at Grove City College, where I teach undergraduate pre-service education majors about the beauties of educational technology. I enjoy taking preservice teachers to educational workshops, events, and conferences to attend and present. It is a great way to network and build your professional learning community. I earned my Ph.D. from Penn State in Learning, Design, and Technology. But before my travels to PSU, I taught students with special needs for four years. I taught for two years as a teacher for students who were diagnosed with multiple disabilities and for two years as a technology integration teacher. My expertise is in assistive technology, specifically in augmented and alternative communication. I have experience consulting, evaluating, and training students, parents, teachers, and other professionals regarding AT and AAC devices. I enjoy going to flea markets, collecting pinball machines (my husband fixes them and I play them), baking (I make an awesome chocolate truffle), working out, and spending time with my family. EduMagic: A Guide for Preservice Teachers This book challenges the thought that “teaching” begins only after certification and college graduation. Instead, it describes how students in teacher preparation programs have value to offer their future colleagues, even as they are learning to be teachers! This book provides positive examples, helpful tools, and plenty of encouragement for preservice teachers to learn, to dream, and to do.
