Welcome back to the podcast, BIG ideas in small windows. I am your host, Mike Gaskell and am delighted to welcome my next guest, who is a podcaster in the world of learning and the brain. Andrea Samadi, started as a teacher in Toronto, Canada, and has spent 26 years working on social/emotional learning, to help students. Andrea knows first-hand about stress in the classroom as her first job from The University of Toronto’s Faculty of Education, was a behavioral class. She felt overwhelmed by the lack of resources to help her manage and teach her students, so she set out on a mission to find ways to support students and educators in the classroom. Andrea is the author of the book Level Up, which offers dozens of online lessons and resources, and helps students access those big AHA moments!. Now a resident of Arizona, the state’s department of Education provided her with a Character and Leadership Grant. She discovered that educators were in dire need of programs that taught the basics of neuroscience. Andrea consulted Mark Robert Waldman, one of the leading neuroscience researchers, and used her time with Mark to show how the brain impacts learning, achievement, well-being and results. Officially a neuroscience expert, she just finished her Advanced Certification in Mindfulness-based Neuro-coaching, which is a rigorous program showing how brain-based, evidence-based, and mindfulness-based coaching strategies work in education and life. Andrea’s podcast has a 4.9 rating, is called “Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning” and provides resources, tools and strategies that can be used by anyone. She has interviewed leaders in educational neuroscience, psychology, and the brain, from Dr. Daniel Siegel, (Brainstorm) Dr. John Medina (Brain Rules) and Dr. Lori Desautels, (Connections Over Compliance) She has reached 150,000 listeners across 155 countries!
