Gender Diversification in Early Years Education: @ESRC study by @EdResLancaster & @fatherhoodinst, exploring ways to gender-diversify UK early years workforce
An informative international perspective and review of the current & historical gender make up of the EY workforce. Delighted for the work of myself & colleagues to be acknowledged & recognised.
How many men work in the English early years sector? Why is the low figure so ‘stubbornly resistant to change’? Check out our paper in @CandS_Journal@JoWarin1@MITEYUK. Thanks to @ESRC for funding the research https://t.co/xyVhH732wk
We're keen to recruit male school leavers across #GreaterManchester & males who have lost a job or changed working patterns during #Covid_19 to train & support through our in-house Early Years (L2) #Apprenticeship. For details, email: [email protected]
One of the key findings of @GenderEYE is that careers advisors very rarely suggest early years work to male students. Changing this could be such a quick win for everyone. https://t.co/YA6YSHUlGW
"The GenderEYE study found that despite early years education’s continuing status as Britain’s least gender-diverse caring profession, the Gov't and most early years employers have done little to recruit and retain male staff." Great @GenderEYE blog post. https://t.co/bLTZa4onam
Congratulations to @JoWarin1 and Joann with success of the @GenderEYE project's online exhibiton "Men at work in the nursery:.."! Great turnout and a really vivid discussion!
Ensuring children see images of men in caring roles is important. Auditing displays & materials with this in mind is one of our suggested GFN actions. Check out this online event which will share images of men in early years settings.
We have a few places left on our second (and final) training course on how to build a mixed gender #earlyyears workforce, on 4 & 6 December. First come first served! Please apply at https://t.co/bFolCG3iKX
Gender sensitivity training is key to promoting #mixedGender workforces in early years education. Come and discuss this important topic in our online exhibition on 13th November, at 10:30.

The role of #male and female practitioners in #EarlyChildhoodEducation is critical for shaping kids' ideas re caring and learning and it needs greater attention.

The lack of men in #EarlyYearsEducation is a problem. Our online #exhibition aims to provide a better understanding of the value of #MalePractitioners in the sector and initiate discussion on recruiting and supporting #male practitioners.
