The Schott Foundation continues to broaden its work (in addition to providing a one million dollar grant) at recruiting more men to teaching and sponsors a fellowship in Massachusetts. Kitt Cox, who posts regularly to MenTeach, has been championing the importance of men teachers and was the first to hold a fellowship with a focus on men and children forwarded this posting.
Join us for a Schott Fellowship Panel and Roundtable on special topics related to men and boys in early childhood education.
Details to follow.

Hope to see you there!�

Hi Bryan and thanks for posting this exciting news from the Schott Fellowship. Just to clarify, when I was a Fellow, my policy work focused not on men, but on policies for building a comprehensive statewide system for the support an education of infants, toddlers and their families. This year's contingent of Fellows are actually the one's "pioneering" the exploration of how public policy can have a positive influence on the role of males in early education and care. I have the privilege of supporting them as their mentor.
