At some point in the next couple of years, I'll be starting a Master's in education with a focus on the social and cultural contexts of education in Canada. (In Canada, you need a bachelor's degree to get into a program of teacher education which grants a second bachelor's degree; the master's is a theoretical degree that is designed for people who are teaching full-time while they take it. I know many American teachers have a M. Ed., but their M.Ed involves about the same amount of education as my B.A. and B. Ed. plus one or two additional courses.) I'm planning right now to write my thesis on the topic of enculturation and acculturation in Ontario schools, with a particular focus on the teaching of mathematics. It should be interesting, but it will be a while before I'm ready for that; among other things, I have to be able to drive forty minutes each way to St. Catharines to Brock University one or two nights a week, and I can't do that right now.
