VITAL Report Status Summary

The purpose of the VITAL reporting system is to provide key information to educators and policymakers in Virginia who are responsible for preparing and employing successful classroom teachers. The three reporting functionalities of VITAL have been designed to provide you with summaries of raw TPA, survey and contact data that will assist you in preparing various reports for your institution. This site summarizes the status and content of the various reports that may be generated by the VITAL System. Please explore the reports, and send any comments, feedback, and/or suggestions for improvement to Jennifer Nielsen at jnielsen@highered.org.

Reports may be viewed individually below, or you may view a combined PDF version of all reports.
