She has written and produced children's television programs, and is the recipient of a number of awards for excellence in tertiary teaching.

Anita Woolfolk Hoy is a Texas Longhorn - all her degrees are from the University of Texas, Austin, the last one a PhD. After graduating, she was a psychologist working with children in elementary and secondary schools in 15 counties of central Texas. She began her career in higher education as a professor of educational psychology at Rutgers University, and then moved to The Ohio State University in 1994 where she has been Professor Emeritus since 2013. Anita's research focuses on motivation and cognition, specifically, students' and teachers' sense of efficacy and teachers' beliefs about education. For many years she was the editor of Theory Into Practice, a journal that brings the best ideas from research to practising educators. With students and colleagues, she has published over 150 books, book chapters, and research articles. Anita has served as Vice-President for Division K (Teaching & Teacher Education) of the American Educational Research Association, and as President of Division 15 (Educational Psychology) of the American Psychological Association. Before completing the 14th (US) edition of Educational Psychology, she collaborated with Nancy Perry, University of British Columbia, to write the second edition of Child Development (Pearson, 2015), a book for all those who work with and love children. Dr Ellen L. Usher received her PhD in Educational Studies from Emory University in 2007. Her research focuses on the sources and effects of beliefs of personal efficacy from the perspective of social cognitive theory. She is the research director of the P20 Motivation and Learning Lab, which aims to examine academic motivation in a variety of contexts and to identify practices that best promote and sustain the motivation learners need to acquire skills essential for success and well-being. Dr. Usher has a joint appointment in the Developmental, Social, and Health Psychology program in the Department of Psychology. Dr. Usher teaches courses in educational psychology, learning theories, and motivation at the University of Kentucky. She is a full member of the Graduate Faculty.
