Men in Early Childhood Education

Leadership is action, not position.
Donald H. McGannon

Around the world, the low participation of men in early childhood settings is a major issue. The World Forum Foundation will be addressing this issue in the Working Forum on Men in Early Childhood Education taking place at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii on May 20 - 23, 2008. This Forum reflects the global surge of interest in changing roles for men and women in the care and education of young children.

The Forum creates a global meeting place where women and men from many cultures and nations will reflect on the value of gender balance in ECE, the benefits and barriers to men's full participation, and identification of actions to promote this important issue worldwide. Topics that will be addressed include the historical context for men in ECE, research on men in ECE, myths and stereotypes on men in ECE, constraints on achieving success in balancing gender, success stories and proven strategies for improving gender balance.
