Teachers struggle under the weight of unrealistic expectations and mounting responsibilities of modern teaching. Saul Karnovsky and Nick Kelly argue that now more than ever education research can provide a roadmap for the profession to reconstitute what is of value. loom.ly/a-ZU5tY

This has significant consequences for sex education and inclusive education. Rhetoric like this combined with a lack of specific teacher training and vague "controversial issues" policies primes teachers to see LGBTQ+ wellbeing as a risky 'political' issue. 🌈🎓
