Meridian profs write book on education

A book on early childhood education by two MSU-Meridian Campus professors will be published by Phi Delta Kappa.

Drs. George Thomas, professor of education, and JoAnn Belk, associate professor of education, collaborated on "Care for Young Children: An International Perspective."

PDK, the prestigious educational honorary association, is publishing the book as part of its International Studies in Education series.

The text examines current practices in early childhood education from an international perspective with particular emphasis on the commonalities and variations among the countries represented. Authors from New Zealand, Canada and England also contributed to the publication.
