Male educators thrive when they have a community behind them. Dr. Rictor Craig, CEO of @_NABME and MEN Advisory Council Member, shares why male educators need a place to belong: people to lean on, learn from, & grow alongside. We are thankful to have Dr. Craig in the network!

Male teachers who leave their current position are 3x more likely to do so for a leadership role than female teachers who are changing roles (60% v. 19%). As a result, fewer men remain in direct teaching roles.

"Oftentimes, when you’re the only [male teacher]—which was my experience as a 7th grade teacher—it’s hard to find ways to stick around when you feel like you’re isolated. So we’re creating a brotherhood in teaching across the country" - @curtiseveryday.
