The educational sector has made great strides in shifting gender expectations while pushing back against bias and stereotypes. However, a significant bias presents itself against educators who choose to remain child-free, with many teachers facing social backlash or moral outrage. Understanding the treatment of childfree educators may help us to explore the impacts of bias on individual teachers. Experiences of Child-Free PK-16 Educators: Bias, Perspectives, and Assumptions provides relevant research in educational bias for the fields of education, psychology, gender studies, and feminist theory. It illuminates why an educator may choose to remain child-free, while highlighting their individual experiences as a child-free teacher. This book covers topics such as early childhood education, administration and leadership, and gender studies, and is a useful resource for education professionals, teachers, students, researchers, academicians, business owners, and industry professionals.
