Author Biography

George S. Morrison is Professor Emeritus of early childhood education at the University of North Texas where he taught early childhood education and development to undergraduates and mentored masters and doctoral students. He is an experienced teacher and principal in the public schools. Professor Morrison’s accomplishments include a Distinguished Academic Service Award from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Outstanding Service and Teaching Awards from Florida International University, and the College of Education Faculty Teaching Excellence Award at the University of North Texas. His books include Early Childhood Education Today, 14th Edition; Fundamentals of Early Childhood Education, 9th Edition; and Teaching in America, 5th Edition. Professor Morrison has also written books about the education and development of infants, and preschoolers; child development; and parent/family/community involvement. Dr. Morrison’s research is on the globalization of early childhood education, the influence of contemporary educational reforms on education; and how to best educate early childhood teachers for the classrooms of today.

Mary Jean Woika has worked in early childhood education and early childhood special education for over 30 years. She is currently an assistant professor and program manager at Broward College. In addition to teaching, her responsibilities include serving as a mentor to practicum students in their early childhood classrooms throughout Broward County, as well as serving as a mentor at the North Campus Lab School.
