Männer in der Lehre

This book starts with the question of why, in the 21st century, men in the teaching profession are still burdened with prejudices that limit their effective working field. The text, whose quality is beyond question, presents us with the stories of extraordinary men whose career choices are not - or are very rarely - conventional: they are teachers in early childhood education and in the first grades of elementary school, areas that are typically dominated by a certain feminine imagery, even though they were originally occupied by men. It is therefore expected that there are stories about the challenges faced by these extraordinary individuals, but not only that. This book is essential reading for teachers, researchers, parents, and students, as it offers a more democratic view of education, fosters discussion about a less female-dominated teaching profession, and promotes greater openness to dialogue and access for teachers of both genders.
