It's unclear if you mean a brand new topic for your own educational career or a topic never ever done before in the history of education. If it's the latter, that's tough. So much research has been done in the field of education that it's incredibly difficult to find subjects that haven't been glazed over in some way.

It's unclear if you mean a brand new topic for your own educational career or a topic never ever done before in the history of education. If it's the latter, that's tough. So much research has been done in the field of education that it's incredibly difficult to find subjects that haven't been glazed over in some way. If you are just looking for a new topic that you haven't looked into yet, I can help there by offering some suggestions.
- Look into the effectiveness of homework. Lots of teachers give it, but is it really an effective teaching and learning tool? Perhaps it isn't. Or perhaps certain types of homework assignments are better for student learners than other types.
- Does humor in the classroom benefit student learners? Or should teachers just never crack a joke?
- Lots of schools (mine included) are becoming "1 to 1" schools. Each student has a laptop or tablet. How has student learning been impacted? Are educators seeing the benefits that they were promised? Or are the technology devices actually hindering student learning?
- School starts early in a lot of areas. My school offers a 7 a.m. zero hour. Are early start times beneficial to student learners? Or would schools benefit more by starting later in the day and ending later as well?
- I've heard it said that student athletes tend to be better students, because they are better at time management. Is there actual evidence to this, or is it just anecdotal evidence from teachers?
