The mission of the Professional Education Unit at Queens College is to facilitate the development of competent, caring, and qualified teachers, counselors, school psychologists, and educational leaders dedicated to promoting equity, excellence, and ethics in urban schools and communities. To ensure that our candidates and graduates have the knowledge and skills they need to become effective practitioners and to advance assessment for learning, the Professional Education Unit has adopted an e-portfolio, a web-based assessment management system called Anthology Portfolio.

Anthology Portfolio (previously known as Chalk & Wire) enables candidates to document academic and professional development, organize and showcase their work, and reflect on learning in alignment with programmatic goals, objectives, and national standards — including discipline-specific competencies. Anthology Portfolio also enables the Education Unit and its programs to maintain a quality assurance system comprised of valid data from multiple measures to engage in continuous improvement that is sustained and evidence-based.

Candidates enrolled in programs within the Education Unit must maintain an active Anthology Portfolio subscription upon admission to an education program and formal enrollment in required coursework.
