Over 60% of male teachers said another male teacher encouraged them to enter the profession. This encouragement could change a young man’s path, explains @curtiseveryday at a recent Symposium on Young American Men. Read the full story from @insidehighered: insidehighered.com/news/stud…

“At one point during a panel discussion, Curtis Valentine asked the audience to raise a hand if our favorite teacher growing up was a man. Eighty percent of hands in the room shot up, even though only about 23 percent of teachers are male in K–12 public education.” @MenSymposium
The @MenSymposium rolled into DC last week—I had the chance to sit in on a few sessions.
My thoughts on education, work, marriage & the broader state of young men—interacting with what I heard from @curtiseveryday, @ChuckRocha & @BradWilcoxIFS.

“Valentine emphasized the need for more male mentors in young men’s lives, arguing that such relationships can help ensure they feel not only like they belong but also that they matter.” @male_educators @aibm_org

Men make up 23% of K-12 teachers and 56% of teacher-coaches. Yet coaches earn $2–14/hour while teachers earn $40–66/hour. Increasing compensation for teacher-coaches could unlock a strong pathway to recruit more male teachers.

Glad to address “Symposium on American Men” and highlight the work of @Male_Educators.
Young men are withdrawing from modern American society with consequences that extend far beyond the men themselves…more male teachers and mentors can help!
Salute @MenSymposium for invite!

Them: How do we recruit more men to teach?
Us: Over 30% of men teachers also coach while only 7% of women teachers do. How about we pay teacher-coaches more!

"America needs more teachers, but the crisis among men and boys highlights how much America needs more male teachers. Male educators influence student discipline, engagement, expectations, & academic outcomes for all students, but especially for boys," notes @curtiseveryday in @The74.

Among men who worked with children when they were teenagers, 75% agreed that that experience influenced them to become a teacher. As we try to recruit more male teachers, we need to better understand why men are attracted to the profession in the first place.
