Abstract
Male primary teachers make up a minority of the primary teaching
profession in countries such as Australia, England and the United States
of America. This minority status can result in male primary teachers
feeling socially isolated within their schools, and consequently choosing
to leave the profession. This gender-related challenge is known, yet
previous research has primarily focused on deconstructing and critically
examining issues of gender in primary school contexts; rather than
identifying practical coping strategies these men can use to deal with it
and persist in the profession. Consequently, this research used surveys
and interviews to identify and analyse the coping strategies experienced
male primary teachers use to deal with their social isolation.
