Rachel Garrett

Senior Researcher

Rachel Garrett is a senior researcher at AIR with a focus on quantitative analysis and methodology. Her major areas of research include educator effectiveness, English learners, math learning and instruction, and educational applications of technology.

Dr. Garrett currently serves as the project director for a randomized efficacy study of a technology-enhanced, extended-time Algebra I program, funded by the National Science Foundation. She also is the principal investigator of research collaboration with a Midwest, urban school district focused on improving educational outcomes for English Learners. She was recently the video classroom observation lead and an analyst in a large-scale, federally funded randomized field trial of a mathematics professional development study for fourth-grade teachers.
