Narrative:
As we landed student had the wrong crosswind correction input in. The wind was coming from the left and we landed on the right main gear first; as a result we 'popped a wheelie' on the right main gear and started veering towards the left. When doing so the student started adding full power as we were veering towards runway lights. We veered off the runway. I took controls and pulled power back to idle. Did not hear or feel us hit any runway lights and did a thorough preflight inspection after the incident and did not see any structural damage to the aircraft.
