Product Description
For Introduction to Early Childhood Education courses. Covers ages 0-8. The fifth edition of this brief, paperback, best-selling text has been thoroughly updated to ensure that future teachers of young children encounter the most current ideas about how children learn, how best to teach them, and how to effectively include their families and their communities in their education. This revision offers a new 4-color design, increased curriculum coverage via new Environments and Curriculum sections in the ages/grades chapters, new step-by-step Competency Builder features demonstrating how to do key teaching tasks, new Ethical Dilemma scenarios, and is a Teacher Prep integrated media edition. Plus, it again provides Morrison's trademark trio--comprehensive coverage, inviting format, and appealing writing. A low cost, paperback alternative to the full edition.

Second Best Intro Early Childhood Text For Teachers February 5, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
After Jo Ann Brewer's superb INTRODUCTION TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION textbook, I would get this resource to keep me up-to-date on the foundational knowledge that stands as essential for early childhood professionals. Even though it lacks a chapter exclusively devoted to the all-important role of play in early childhood education, the absence of such a discussion leaves the learner with a more neutral reference point from which to decide his position on whether or not to align with a play-based curricular philosophy
Morrison presents a starkly realistic and contemporary overview of the field with an outstandingly streamlined overview of Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development (where he keeps a keen and faithful eye on expressing the ideas from Piaget/Inhelder's THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE CHILD).
After getting the Brewer text and Morrison, you should need no other book of this type. Please try Feeney, Christensen, & Moravcik's WHO AM I IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN if you need one more excellent text.
