1. Teaching Algebra
2. A problem that is occurring right now is whether to have Algebra as an 8th grade standard or not. For a while, districts in California were trying to accelerate everyone to finish Algebra by 8th grade. Recently, a bill was proposed to make it so that it would not be an 8th grade standard. So the problem would be which is better for overall students; having algebra as a standard in 8th grade or 9th grade? When I do come up with a solution, I will publish a paper with the help of local education departments and submit it to Dean E. Vogel, president of the California Teaching Association.
3. Another problem is whether certain teaching strategies are better than others. This can be a behavioral project idea, but it does leave room for experimentation. After I find a solution, I will show school districts my results, beginning with El Rancho School District.
