Why Men Should Teach In Early Childhood Education
Men Are Positive Role Models for Children
• Men show boys what they can become
• Girls need to see a nurturing male in order to see what kind of men they’d like to have in their lives
Why Is There a Shortage of Men?
• Low status and pay
• Perception of teaching is “women’s work”
• The fear of accusation of child abuse
• Stereotyping
Ways to Get More Men Involved• Encourage male
volunteers and work study students to consider teaching as a career
• Ask men staff to recruit other men
• Attend high schools and colleges job fairs
• Involve parents in the recruitment process
• Advertise the need for male teachers
For the sake of the children, be open-minded,
men also play an important role in the lives of children
