Topic – Teacher resilience, the key issues in recruitment, retention and staff wellbeing.

In this discussion, Michelle and Christine will be discussing the key issues surrounding recruitment and retention in the teaching profession.  In such a demanding role, resilience forms a huge part of a teacher’s survival and is enough being done to help teacher navigate the demands and expectations of teachers?

As well as exploring attitudes in the workplace generally with Kate Davis, Founder of Meraki and National Coach of the Year, we will be joined by Kendal Parmar, former CEO of Untapped and now the founder and developer of a new resilience app for teachers- Bea. Kendal is a mental health and AI expert. She trained as a behavioural scientist, clinical and business psychologist.

We will be joined then by LVS Ascot DSL Laura Collins we will explore staff wellbeing and the importance of this strategy, especially with the challenges our sector is facing at the moment.
