WIL ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ Research Conversation
Despite the increasing diversity of students in schools the teaching profession has traditionally been positioned as a homogenous workforce. However, this is changing. Each year, more neurodivergent teachers enter the workforce, bringing diverse perspectives, strengths, and experiences.

These barriers impact their confidence, well-being, and long-term career success.
