LINDA DARLING-HAMMOND, the Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, has been named the 2010 recipient of the Brock International Prize in Education.
The prize is given annually to an individual who has made a specific innovation or contribution to the science and art of education, resulting in a significant impact on the practice or understanding of education.
Darling-Hammond was selected for her lifelong dedication to the pursuit of excellence and equity for all children and for her focus on effective instruction, which has sparked important conversations about what it takes to reform education. Given by the Brock Community Foundation, the Brock International Prize in Education consists of $40,000, a certificate and a sculpted bust of Sequoyah, inventor of the Cherokee syllabary. Darling-Hammond will receive the award at a public ceremony during the Brock Symposium on Excellence in Education at the University of Oklahoma on April 8.
