Who Looks After the Teacher? The neuroscience of stress, burnout & the neurodivergent educator — the conversation the staffroom never gets to have.
We spend our careers talking about student wellbeing and student neurodiversity. Almost no one asks about the exhausted — and often neurodivergent — educator standing at the front of the class.
We would like to invite you to our series- Oxford Prestige Education Forum, a live online discussion:
Who Looks After the Teacher?
The neuroscience of stress, burnout and the neurodivergent educator
In a candid panel discussion with live audience Q&A, we’ll explore a few things the staffroom rarely gets to:
- What chronic stress and burnout actually do to the teaching brain — and why it’s biology, not weakness
- The hidden world of neurodivergent teachers, and why disclosing still feels unsafe
- Where a college’s duty of care to its staff begins and ends — and who’s really accountable
- Why “record numbers” of teachers are leaving the profession — and what it will cost the next generation of learners if they do
- And more
Whether you teach, lead, or support in an FE college or school, your voice belongs in this conversation.
