Cindy Bowman, English Education Co-Editor

Cindy Bowman is Assistant Professor of English Education at Florida State University, where she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Teaching Writing, Middle School and High School Methods, Teaching Literature, and Technology for Teachers of English. 

A former high school English teacher, Cindy received her Ph.D. from Kent State University in 1996.  Active in numerous professional organizations, Cindy’s professional home is the Conference on English Education of the National Council of Teachers of English, where she serves on the Executive Board and the Commission on the Preparation of Teachers with Disabilities and the newly formed Commission on Technology.  

Cindy resisted technology until just recently; like many English teachers, she preferred books, paper, and pen.  She became a convert when she was involved in a project to help veteran classroom teachers integrate technology into their curriculum.  The creativity, enthusiasm, and interaction spread throughout the district  teachers, students, and parents.  Currently she is conducting research on how technology impacts reading comprehension of at-risk students.
