Frances Josephine Easley received Bachelors Degree from George Peabody College in June 1926. She then went on to complete her Masters Degree, also at George Peabody College, in 1930. In 1948 she completed her Doctor of Education at Columbia University, where she submitted a 118-page project entitled, "Cooperative Evaluation in the Elementary School" for partial fufillment of her Ed.D degree. Easley taught elementary education in Tennessee, Alabama and Pennsylvania in the years between 1924 and 1938.
