@senvincenthughes.bsky.social Men in the Classroom discussion focused on the urgent need to bring more men into teaching. Speakers and panelists discussed how schools, families, and neighborhoods can work collaboratively to recruit, support, and keep men in the classroom. #MenintheClassroom

They were joined by special guest panelist William Stanford Davis, aka Abbott Elementary's “Mr. Johnson”, Dr. Tony Watlington, @centerblacked.bsky.social's Sharif El-Mekki, and FathersRead365's Brent Johnstone. @kywnewsradio.bsky.social's Racquel Williams hosted. #MenintheClassroom

As the US faces a national shortage of 400K educators, @senvincenthughes.bsky.social and Sheryl Lee Ralph-Hughes hosted a discussion about the importance of increasing the number of male teachers, especially male teachers of color. www.senatorhughes.com/senator-hugh... #MenintheClassroom
