Professor in the Department of Teaching, Learning and Culture, College of Education and Human Development (CEHD), Texas A&M University. Dr. Rupley received the 2013 A. B. Herr award presented for distinguished service and contributions in reading presented by Association of Literary Educators and Researchers. He is the recipient of the CEHD Instructional Research Laboratory Research Achievement Award and was appointed a Regents Scholar in 2001. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Reading Psychology: An International Journal and coauthor of Principles and Practices of Teaching Reading (10th ed., Merrill Publishing Co.) which is one of the top 10 textbooks on reading instruction used at both graduate and undergraduate levels. William H. Rupley's primary areas of expertise are reading acquisition, reading comprehension, reading in science and mathematics, and teacher effectiveness. He has developed and implemented programs using technology to teach effectively and assess students' reading capabilities, as well as conducting research in the areas of reading comprehension and effective teaching. He has published more than 125 articles and columns in research journals that include Reading Research and Instruction, Peabody Journal of Education, Journal of Research in Education, Scientific Studies in Reading, Reading and Writing, The Reading Teacher, Journal of Literacy Research and Instruction, The Reading Teacher, and Reading and Writing Quarterly. His research has focused on instructional development to increase teachers' effectiveness in teaching reading development, and reading comprehension in diverse disciplines including social studies, science, probabilistic thinking and climate forecasting. He has been either the PI or Co-PI for over $3 million in federal and state professional development and teacher training grants including: Enhancing the Quality of Expository Text Instruction and Comprehension Through Content and Case Situated Professional Development (Institute of Education Sciences, $1,500,000); Development of Climate Forecasts Decision Making: Teaching Materials for Middle School Teachers and Students (National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration, $237,000); and Bridges to Literacy (Verizon Foundation, $229,874).
