About Dr. Samantha Fecich
Hi! I’m Sam Fecich a professor of education, author, and a huge fan of pumpkin spice lattes (PSL)! Seriously, guys, I am the type of person who is counting down the days in August until PSLs are back on the menu.
Most days of the week you can find me in my office at Grove City College working with students or teaching preservice teachers about educational technology or special education. During my courses, preservice teachers learn how to hone their digital presence, unite their professional learning network, create activities with technology tools that engage students in a meaningful and impactful way, apply the Danielson Framework for teaching, and learn the ins and out of special education and how to best serve all students based on their strengths and areas of need.
I am truly blessed to do what I do, day in and day out. I enjoy working with preservice teachers and preparing the future generation of educators to become educators of excellence.
When I am not teaching or grabbing a cup of PSL with a student, you can find me spending time with family and friends. I enjoy going to flea markets, collecting pinball machines (my husband fixes them and I play them), baking (I make an awesome chocolate truffle), and working out.
I host the podcast EduMagic you can find it wherever you subscribe to your favorite shows. This is a podcast designed just for future teachers. Join me as I interview preservice teachers who are using EduMagic to rock their college careers.

Go Community!
This community is one of my favorite one-stop-shop tools to engage with other amazing school leaders. I use this online resource to gain insight, gather resources, and develop my leadership capacity.
The #1 Leadership Online community is generous and authentic, an antidote to the clutter and noise that other social media sites have become.
What makes this community different is that it is:
An investment, not free

A private community with the same goal

A conversation, not a variety of self-promoting presentations

Evergreen, not ephemeral

Focused on serving school leaders, not advertisers, companies, or investors

I highly recommend using Go! Community to enhance your leadership skills!

June 05, 2020Aspire Mailbag: Breaking Traditional Practices with Jeff Gargas and Joshua Stamper
Important Message
I wanted to address the injustices that are occurring in this country, even though this episode does not consist of questions regarding racism, equity or privilege. As a white male, I do not truly understand how it feels to live through inequity and injustice but I do know that I cannot be silent about these important topics. The latest murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and so many others have shown how our country's systems continue to be slanted and oppressive. This does not stop at the justice system, we as educators must reflect and discover inequities and injustice in our own schools. As leaders of black colleagues and black students, it is our duty to voice our concerns when we see someone being treated unfairly, when policies are biased and when structures are meant to create barriers for success. In the last Aspire episode, I started the conversation with Dr. Sheldon Eakins and I will continue to use this platform to learn, inform and educate on the issues of racial justice, equity and implicit bias. I hope you will join me as we stand up to conquer racism in our county and in our schools.
In the ninth Aspire Mailbag episode, Jeff Gargas and I answer questions on different leadership topics provided by the listeners. Please join us for this episode as Jeff and I answer questions on traditional practices, social emotional learning, and overwhelming staff with new resources. We also share some exciting Teach Better announcements for upcoming events!

May 30, 2020102. Leading Equity and Change: Featuring Dr. Sheldon L. Eakins
With a heavy heart, I bring you this episode, in a time where our country is fighting against inequality and racism. During the duration of distant learning, the subject of equity has come to the forefront of many discussions about not only our new system of learning, but our traditional educational systems. My hope is this conversation with Dr. Sheldon L Eakins, the host of Leading Equity Podcast, begins your search for inequity in your schools and drives action for change.

Go Community!

This community is one of my favorite one-stop-shop tools to engage with other amazing school leaders. I use this online resource to gain insight, gather resources, and develop my leadership capacity.
The #1 Leadership Online community is generous and authentic, an antidote to the clutter and noise that other social media sites have become.
What makes this community different is that it is:
An investment, not free

A private community with the same goal

A conversation, not a variety of self-promoting presentations

Evergreen, not ephemeral

Focused on serving school leaders, not advertisers, companies, or investors

I highly recommend using Go! Community to enhance your leadership skills!
