Teachers Are Special, But Is Their Mental Health?

In this episode we review the research on how teachers' mental health compares to that of similar people in other professions, both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. We discuss our own research on the topic, which uses data from the US and is what motivated the creation of this podcast, as well as researchers from University College London who've been conducting similar research in the UK and other OECD countries. Then we close the episode with discussion of the most recent survey data available to see how things have changed in the past year and half.
