Real Men Teach

DID YOU KNOW? The U.S. Congress has a @DadsCaucus Salute @RepJimmyGomez for leading National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis. Many male educators, like me, were caregivers before we were teachers! Salute Rep. Gomez and Dads Caucus, in advance, for their leadership! @aibm_org

Happy Birthday to Financial Manager, Husband, Soccer Dad, and Warrior For Life, Robert Baltrop today! Salute! #RealMenTeach💯

“We can’t fix the male educator shortage by nibbling around the edges, we have to reform the system! That’s what I’m building with my new organization!” Salute the @NationalGYO for sponsoring panel on “How to Get More Men in Teaching.” @kurtsenior_ @aibm_org @RealMenTeach2

The Book is Done [almost]! 🏁 Two years ago I announced that I had finally signed a book deal for: “Real Men Teach: The Future of Education.” Happy to be finishing up on editor’s notes & writing the foreword! Pre-orders will be available soon, and book tour hits in fall!

Happy Birthday to Educator, Author, Speaker, Poet, and Artist Dr. Lamont Muhammad (right) today! Salute! #RealMenTeach🎤 @BlockcThe @getAMPLFYED

The good work is spreading like wildfire and is now a mainstream issue. Really like how @GovWesMoore frames the interconnectivity of men and women, boys and girls. Thank you @curtiseveryday for the VA Men and Boys shout-out. cc @WABoysMen

Governors across the country are waking up to the fact that young men and boys are falling behind. Maryland, California, Michigan, Utah, Connecticut—they're all investing in more male teachers. More on each state's commitments from AIBM’s @curtiseveryday: the74million.org/article/states…

Incredible discussions today at @SXSWEDU with our moderator, Langston Clark of @UTSA, and my fellow panelists, Shawn Dove of @newprofit, and @VictorSaenzPhD of @UTAustin. My takeaways:

.@curtiseveryday: Male students are increasingly lagging in test scores, high school graduation rates & college attendance. Part of the solution could be increasing the number of male teachers, who make up less than 1/4th of the workforce @aibm_org buff.ly/vRYj2iD

“America needs more teachers, but the crisis among men and boys highlights how much America needs more male teachers, in particular.” Check out my piece in @The74 highlighting how states are stepping up to address the shortage of male teachers! Link: the74million.org/article/states…

“How Can We Get More Men into Teaching”? Registered apprenticeships have expanded from 3 states in 2022 to 47 states plus D.C. by early 2025, driven by educator shortages. We need male teachers and registered apprenticeships can be the key! Link: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Saturday morning reading 📖 @drwarrenfarrell

"There appears to be much more of a class gap (as measured by education level) than a gender gap in loneliness and isolation." Our research shows: Those without a college degree are about 2x as likely as college graduates to have no close friends. aibm.org/research/male-…

DID YOU KNOW: Only 27% of men volunteered in America in 2023? It’s @PeaceCorps Week, an opportunity to celebrate volunteerism and service. We have a crisis of young men and boys in America and we need men to volunteer in our schools and in our communities. Let’s get to work!

Happy Women’s History Month! 💐 Over 75% of teachers and nearly 60% of school principals are women…if we ever want to grow more men in teaching, we need our sisters! 🧡 Salute the women who support Real Men Teach and our mission to recruit more men teachers!
