Quint has directed or participated in a number of mixed-methods studies of education reform initiatives. She currently leads a team examining the implementation of small high schools in New York City that were established with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. She is also directing an evaluation of the impacts of FAST-R, a Boston-based initiative to help teachers use data to improve students’ reading comprehension. She was project manager for MDRC’s Scaling Up First Things First evaluation and is the author of a report synthesizing the findings of that study and of two other MDRC evaluations of high school reform initiatives. She was also principal investigator for a study of a theory of instructional change enunciated by the Institute for Learning at the University of Pittsburgh; the study used survey and observational data to develop statistical indicators of the stages in the theory and to develop quantitative estimates of the links between these stages. Before joining MDRC’s K-12 policy area, she played major roles in the organization’s evaluations of programs for welfare recipients and young mothers. A graduate of Harvard University, she received a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in sociology from the City University of New York.
