Abstract
In this report, I describe strategies I have developed in my teaching and program coordination to support students and faculty members in times of crisis and tragedy. I detail three significant moments of crisis which inspired my development of caring pedagogical practice and what I learned from each of these moments. Then, I discuss the idea of a pedagogy inspired by ethics of care (Noddings, 1984, 2012) and how it might frame pedagogical practice. I subsequently offer practical ideas gleaned from my own experiences, to apply pedagogical care in situations of crisis. Finally, I suggest ways to support our students, the faculty members we work with and supervise, and finally, ourselves, as foundational practice and especially in times of crisis.
