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
