Dr. Rathbone's primary areas of scholarship exist at the intersection of small group process, learning theory, and curriculum development. A reformed Piagetian, his current interests include how technology and what we know about how the brain learns impact these areas of scholarship. He is co-author of Muiltiage Portraits: Teaching and Learning In Mixed Age Classrooms and authored the Encyclopedia Americana on-line entry "Elementary Education" in 1997. He retired from UVM in May, 2009.
Associate Professor of Education Emeritus
