Richard Correnti's research interests include how educational innovations influence teacher practice and how teacher practice influences student learning. He studies how policy and educational reform initiatives can improve instruction and student learning, and how these efforts are influenced by issues of implementation and scaling-up. His recent work includes evaluations of 1) CSR program effects on instruction, 2) content specific professional development on teacher practice, and 3) CSR program effects on student achievement. All of these analyses used data from the Study of Instructional Improvement and employed propensity stratification methods and sensitivity analyses to generate causal claims from quasi-experimental data.
