“Pressing Issues Facing Our Schools: 2025”

The Pennsylvania Principals Association is seeking articles for the Fall 2025 THEME issue of The Pennsylvania Administrator magazine. The theme for this issue is: “Pressing Issues Facing Our Schools: 2025.” Articles based on this theme will be considered for publication by the Editorial Review Board. See below for further details.

Pennsylvania schools are currently grappling with several pressing issues, including a significant teacher shortage, funding disparities and student and staff mental health concerns. Schools face difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified educators due to low salaries and high stress, impacting classroom quality. Funding inequality remains a critical challenge, with schools in low-income areas struggling to provide necessary resources, while wealthier districts have more opportunities. Additionally, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic in our schools and classrooms for several key reasons, including ethical considerations and how it has the potential to revolutionize the way education is delivered. We encourage you to write an article on one of the topics listed below for the themed edition, focusing on how it is impacting your school, students and staff, as well as the actions your school or district is taking in response.

What impact could the following have related to our theme?

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Teacher Retention and Shortages
  • Student and Staff Mental Health Issues
  • Online/Hybrid Learning
  • Funding Inequalities
  • Student Enrollment, Student Behavior….What’s New
  • Serving Multilingual Learners
  • Alternatives to Traditional College Pathways
