VITAL Education Series

The VITAL Education Series is a growing collection of resources published by Teachers College Press and WestEd. The acronym VITAL stands for “Visibly Improving Teaching and Learning.” The books in this series are grounded in the idea that educators are more likely to improve teaching and learning when we make the processes that influence them more visible and transparent, allowing educators to analyze their practice and see what is working and would benefit from improvement.
