Associate Professor
Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Bowman-Perrott is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at Texas A&M University, and previously worked as an Assistant Research Professor at the Juniper Gardens Children's Project research center with the University of Kansas. She has directed and co-directed federal grant projects funded through the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA). Her research across the years has broadly focused on effective academic and behavioral interventions for students at-risk of school failure. The natural progression of her research with interventions in schools led her to investigate the efficacy of widely-used interventions through meta-analysis, a statistical procedure that summarizes findings from independent studies to allow for the comparison of treatment effects across participant and intervention variables. Meta-analysis (with the application of quality standards) allows research to be more readily translated into practice by determining for whom and under what conditions a given intervention is most effective. Dr. Bowman-Perrott’s research agenda also includes examining outcomes for students who are culturally and linguistically diverse (including English learners), The goal of her research is to help researchers and practitioners gain a better understanding of interventions that improve (and factors that contribute to) students’ academic, behavioral, and social success.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
Project iLEER! Literacy, Language, and Social-Emotional Support for English Learners to Improve Reading Outcomes
Project ¡LEER! will develop and provide Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and professional development (PD) to improve the reading outcomes of English Learners (ELs) with and without disabilities. Spanish is the predominant language commonly spoken by ELs in Texas where there is a critical need for services and support (90%; Texas Education Agency/Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS; 2018-2019). Project ¡LEER! in coordination with the Region 1 Education Service Center (see interim executive director letter of support) will provide PD to underserved areas of Texas within the Rio Grande Valley, where some of the highest concentrations of ELs (e.g., 30-40%) are enrolled. Moreover, Project ¡LEER! will partner with the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD, see superintendent letter of support) to provide MTSS PD to schools with large percentages of ELs with and without disabilities.
Project DIVERSE: Doctoral Scholars Implementing Socially Valid Evidence-Based Practices and Research for Improving the Language, Literacy, and Social-Emotional Outcomes of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Exceptional Learners
Project DIVERSE will prepare doctoral scholars focused on developing expertise in evidence- based practices (EBPs) focused on academic language, assessment, and social, emotional, and behavioral support for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) Learners with disabilities. Project DIVERSE focuses on a "needs based" language and disability inclusive approach to special education that (a) cuts across disability areas, (b) emphases individualized intervention of learning and/or behavior difficulties within a prevention science framework, and (c) focuses on evidence-based practices to improve special education services for CLD learners with disabilities. Project DIVERSE represents an interdisciplinary collaboration between (1) Department of Educational Psychology at Baylor University (BU), (2) Department of Educational Psychology (Bilingual/ESL and Special Education Divisions) at Texas A&M University (TAMU), and (3) Departments of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching and Department of Bilingual-Bicultural Studies at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Existing doctoral programs at the three participating universities will be leveraged to prepare fifteen doctoral scholars (five per university) to assume leadership positions at institutions of higher education with preparation in evidence-based interventions and advanced research methods focused on high need CLD learners with disabilities. Project DIVERSE scholars will participate in a rigorous, research-intensive, competency-based doctoral program that combines coursework in foundational and advanced research methods and active research participation with in-depth training in evidence-based practices. These doctoral scholars will be prepared to conduct socially valid educational and behavioral research that will contribute success, wellbeing, and flourishing of this population of learners.
