I’d love to work with your organization! Read my current offerings and what people are saying about my virtual teaching below.
For all inquiries please email me DonnieWelchPoetry[at]gmail.com
Virtual Poetry Workshop
Hour long sessions combining poetry and creative writing with art, music, and other multi-sensory means of communicating and creating! I have experience working with poets of all ages and all abilities.
Virtual Professional Training
Want to learn about my approach to integrating sensory and movement activities with literacy learning? Hire me and I’ll tell you all about it! I was never much good at keeping secrets anyway.
Asynchronous Content Creation
Have a poetry or literacy topic you need covered for your students in an engaging way? I’ve created asynchronous content for the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Kennedy Center and I’d be happy to make a video for you too! I invite you to check out my show Let’s Write About for examples of what I can create.
“Donnie Welch is dynamic & engaging...He provides our students with hands-on experiences to allow them to communicate and express themselves and their creativity in a variety of ways. Donnie is spectacular inside the classroom & in our new virtual classrooms. He makes everyone feel included and special. ”
“In my work with Donnie as co-facilitators of our virtual poetry classes, I had the honor of observing his innate ability to connect with clients through the screen. His genuine passion for his work creates an atmosphere of joy and belonging. When Donnie’s presence enters an educational space, those listening know they have met an ally in learning. ”
“[Donnie] pairs a strong background in poetry with a deep understanding of the needs of neurodiverse students, and adapts quite naturally to meet the needs of those students he serves. While I’ve witnessed some instructors struggle to adapt to the virtual learning environment, Donnie is comfortable and competent in the virtual space... Perhaps most importantly, he teaches with joy and compassion, and in doing so spreads not only knowledge but nurturing. ”
