Teachers' Club (for men in Education)

Virtual staff room for visionary teachers of every discipline. This is a good place for educators to discuss their collective role in society--particularly in regards to their duty as role models for young men. 

What does it mean to be a male role model for young boys in the classroom?

How can we serve them best?

I'm currently training to become a primary school teacher (elementary school in the USA) and loving it so far. Good to see this group exists. 
Cheers

I teach cultural studies and film classes. I'm an adjunct at a state university and on the hunt for a full-time teaching position.

As a higher ed. art insructor, I try to model awareness as a masculine trait. It grows from critical thought (an inquisitive state of mind). Young men need to develop such a mental appetite if they hope to become respected leaders at home and in the workplace.

Evening gents, I currently work in university research but I've fulfilled the qualifications for a provisional teaching license. I am trying to teach secondary science (earth, physical, biology) but preferably something even more specific to my field of soil/plant and environmental science. I have a master's in this field, but my only real teaching experience was a section of our intro class, which went very well. Look forward to discussing some things with you all.

Hello all, I teach at Sullivan University as an adjunct Faculty member, teach in the college of IT at night. I am currently teaching Operating Systems and Web Programming. All my students are obtaining their Bachelors degrees. Look forward to learning from all of you.

@John:
It's good to meet another male elementary teacher. It doesn't seem that there are that many of us out there. Hats off to working in special ed. I've occasionally considered going that route, having been put in the role of interventionist at various stages of my career. I really feel that I've found my groove with my 4th grade classroom, though. Glad to see you on AoM!

I'm a TEFL teacher with 8 years experience of work in Poland and the UK. I'm pretty experimental with regards to methodology as my job works in a way that I get to do lots of one off lessons and special events.

I was happy to find this group.  I'm a graduate student studying English/Poetry and I just got into a program where I'll be teaching a freshmen composition course next semester after going through training.  Currently, I teach supplemental instruction courses to college freshman, essentially teaching the mechanics of essay writing.

I'm at college, and I regularly teach new or substantially revised classes.  Since the area is computer science, it's a necessity -- but it's also a delight.

I'm a high school chemistry and forensics teacher in NYS. I am certified to teach biology, chemisty and general science. In the past I have taught college courses in various subjects in biology. I was told I would be teaching Environmental Science next semester, although I haven't taught that course in ten years at any level. NYS has forced many "reforms" down the throat of our union reps on the state level in order to comply with "Race to the Top." I am not a happy camper.
