George Morrison’s Early Childhood Education Today presents current, research-based information on providing high-quality early education to all children so that they can be successful in school and in life. Featuring an engaging writing style and filled with practical examples of authentic teaching practices used by master teachers, the book is popular with both pre-service teachers and current teachers and staff enrolled in college programs to earn additional certifications and degrees. Its strong coverage of development in the age/grade-specific chapters, emphasis on diversity, and coverage of contemporary topics and issues make this text stand apart from other early childhood education texts.
