Care Ethics In Online Teaching, Colette Rabin
Care Ethics In Online Teaching, Colette Rabin
Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity
As a teacher educator, I sought to understand how to cultivate care ethics in my online teaching over a three-year period.

Countering Deficit Thinking About Neurodiversity Among General Education Teacher Candidates: A Case Discussion Approach, Grinell Smith, Colette Rabin
Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity
We have observed that many of the multiple-subjects teacher credential candidates in our program often reveal deficit views of autistic children. This report provides an example of how we help credential candidates learn to reframe deficit thinking about neurodiversity via the examination, discussion, and dramatization of a collection of dilemma-based case stories designed to help our students unearth preconceptions and engage in shared inquiry. One strength of this approach is that it asks candidates to develop specific and realistic plans of action, to adopt a care ethic requiring them to think and act from the perspective of the child, to …
