Tehila Raftar-Ozery has completed her PhD in 2023 at Bar Ilan University, Israel. She is a lecturer and researcher in the field of Special Education at Orot College, Israel. Her academic work focuses on ethics, disability, ethical dilemmas, and inclusion of students with special needs in regular schools. As part of her research under the supervision of Prof. Orly Shapira-Lishchinsky, she developed a digital learning module called Ethicon Digital. The module is designed to raise ethical awareness among researchers and other stakeholders about the inclusion, capabilities, and rights of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), particularly in the field of education and more broadly in society. The learning tool enables users to engage with real-life ethical dilemmas and practice applying the ethical principles identified in her study. Through interactive scenarios, it supports researchers and practitioners in navigating complex ethical decisions involving individuals with IDD in research, promoting a more inclusive and respectful society. In addition, she explores the mediating role of ‘absenteeism acceptance’ between different leadership styles and school ethical climate on organizational citizenship behaviors and voluntary absence among Israeli teachers from different mainstream and special-education schools.
