Defining caring as a moral and intellectual relation, Reclaiming Caring in Teaching and Teacher Education positions caring as a crucial factor in the teaching-learning process and as a powerful professional stance for teachers. After presenting the findings of a study exploring preservice elementary teachers' initial beliefs and understandings of caring and examining the ways those preconceptions were challenged during the students' field placement period, Lisa S.
