Following the November 2024 Summit, #PANeedsTeachers—a statewide coalition working to alleviate the teacher shortage crisis—released a series of four reports outlining policies to rebuild Pennsylvania's teacher pipeline and address the shortage. The series calls for certification and preparation systems that maintain high standards while removing barriers that keep talented, diverse educators out of the profession. The series highlights that competency should guide the process of training, hiring, and retaining teachers. It emphasizes building skills as teachers advance in their careers and providing them with opportunities to become leaders in their schools.
