Dr. Lisa 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 received her M.Ed. in Agency Counseling from the College of William and Mary in 1993 and her Ph.D. in Education from the University of Virginia in 2001. 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. Her 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.
