TEACHERS TALKING ABOUT VITAL “The three of us did intense work together during the summer of our VITAL project, but frankly, that opportunity to work together and have that dialogue, deepen our rapport and share our goals together planted a seed that’s continued to grow over the past three years. We’re always finding ways to work together.”
“There simply is not enough time in the school day to conduct this type of research. The gift of time in the context of VITAL is huge.”

“VITAL has been an invaluable opportunity to work with two exceptional colleagues. This was beneficial in several ways. Working with two folks from other disciplines and at different stages in their careers has been very enlightening and has influenced my thinking and problem-solving methodology. I am now better able to examine ebooks from other perspectives and purposes other than the library.”
