Dr. Jane Newman, a Mountain Brook resident of 32 years, was recently honored at The University of Alabama with a Nellie Rose McCrory Faculty Excellence Award.
The associate professor of gifted and talented education was involved in the Mountain Brook school system for 17 years before becoming a professor at The University of Alabama College of Education.
Newman received her doctorate from The University of Alabama in 1991 and started working for the College in 2001. She is now also the director of Summer Enrichment Workshop, a summer program for K-12 gifted and talented students.
The McCrory Awards, named after the late Nellie Rose McCrory, recognize the good work of faculty in three areas: teaching, research and service.
