Abstract
This chapter examines the current situation in English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) teacher stress as well as the role of well-being in teacher and student outcomes. It also provides insights into the factors that contribute to the flourishing of the whole language-teaching educational ecosystem. The specific needs of women educators and the essential role of supportive peer communities and mentoring in empowering and providing professional support specifically for ESOL teachers are also examined. Finally, an evidence-based, gender-specific intervention for female educators is briefly examined.
