Schools work to recruit more male teachers

Times-Republican - Iowa, USA
Will Norton and Kevin Hahn have become what they never had themselves: male elementary classroom teachers.

Both Cedar Rapids men are in a minority nationwide, where the percentage of male teachers overall is at a 40-year low. It has dropped from 32.5 percent in 1970 to an estimated 24.1 percent in 2007, the National Education Association says.

The trend is similar for Iowa.
