Dr. Cindy Reed, director of the Truman Pierce Institute, recently served as a juror for the Brock International Prize in Education program administered by the University of Oklahoma.

Reed, a professor in the Department of Educational Foundations, Leadership and Technology, was one of nine jurors who helped determine the 2011 Brock Laureate .

Reed is nationally recognized for her expertise in leadership development and educational reform. She serves as a commissioner on the Alabama Select Commission on High School Retention and Drop Out Prevention and is associate editor of the Journal of School Leadership.

The Brock International Prize in Education recognizes individuals for specific contributions and innovations related to the science and art of education, including new teaching techniques, discoveries of new learning processes or organization of schools and school systems. The winners receive $40,000, a certificate and bust of Sequoyah, the first Native American to develop an alphabet.

The award is named for Oklahoma natives John A. and Donnie V. Brock. John serves as chairman of the board for Medallion Petroleum, while Donnie taught elementary school in Oklahoma and Texas.
