Men in Early Years

We want to raise the profile of males who work with young children by encouraging and providing opportunities to network with other males in the Early Years.

@newtonoakley @geoffbilling @early_years_ku revitalise some of that imagination that sleeps dormant in all our subconscious

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

@GeoffBilling @mr_paintpots @newtonoakley @early_years_ku personally I suggested the promise of free biscuits! I still stand by that

[no @newtonoakley]

@GeoffBilling @meninearlyyears @early_years_ku You can be a pirate, chef, gardener, scientist and brave adventurer etc. all in one day!

@MeninEarlyYears @early_years_ku Forest/Beach Schools. Perhaps a "if you can't make a decent castle/fort, you won't last long!" Competitive.

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

@Mr_PaintPots @geoffbilling @newtonoakley @early_years_ku kinda like mini case studies. Hear about experiences, ups and downs! Great idea!

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

@GeoffBilling @newtonoakley @early_years_ku haha, touché!

[David Wright @Mr_PaintPots]

@GeoffBilling @newtonoakley @meninearlyyears @early_years_ku use personal stories from men already in the sector

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

@newtonoakley @early_years_ku this is a great idea!

“@early_years_KU: @meninearlyyears were trying to attract male graduates to our EYT programme in september, any advice?” Guys, any advice??

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

@early_years_KU have a "are you tough enough" approach as opposed to "have you thought of this?" ... also the offer of biscuits will suffice

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

@early_years_KU 2/2 I would be honest and say appeal to their masculine side. Images of outdoor play coupled with a nurturing aspect.

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

@early_years_KU great question! I would say .. show the 'challenging' side to EY. Set the benchmark high. Do you promote at career days? 1/2

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

Do you live in/near London? Are you a male who works in the Early Years sector? Then go go go http://t.co/gmVuxe1suV !!! #networking

@DeborahFielden @MeninEarlyYears @signoramac @DrSue22 @JeniHooper I feel very lucky that EYFS is very much valued @EastfieldPriSch !

[Men in Early Years @MeninEarlyYears]

@signoramac @drsue22 @suechambers14 @jenihooper like making nurseries the heart of communities rather than profit making companies #ruinedit

@MeninEarlyYears @DeborahFielden @DrSue22 @SueChambers14 @JeniHooper Every school should have a copy of Prof Dunlop's book #EYtransitions
