Anthology Portfolio
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.
Candidate Resources
Candidate Information
You must use your QC email account to access Anthology Portfolio.
Your Anthology ePortfolio helps you collect, organize, and reflect on your academic work. It can contain files, images, and multimedia that document your academic progress, enrich your learning, sharpen your technological skills, and prepare you for certification.
You can also share your professional ePortfolio with family, friends, and potential employers. The professional look and feel to your shared ePortfolio make the Anthology ePortfolio a great tool to use when applying for internships, employment, and graduate schools.
When candidates are admitted to one of the undergraduate or graduate programs in the Education Unit, they may be instructed to obtain an Anthology ePortfolio subscription to submit their assignments as directed until graduation.

Anthology Portfolio is a web based e-portfolio system required for candidates in the Professional Education Unit at Queens College. You will use Anthology Portfolio to create your professional program assessment e-portfolio. You can also make separate e-portfolios using Anthology for career and other purposes.
Anthology Portfolio is used as a ‘digital filing cabinet’ for ALL of your coursework as you complete your education program. You will be using one portfolio from the moment you start using Anthology until the time you graduate. You do NOT need one portfolio for each course you register into.
Anthology will be used to assess key assignments that have been identified by your Queens College teacher education certification program. The New York State Education Department and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) now requires all accredited programs to document individual student performance, based on national, state and institutional standards. The Anthology Portfolio assessments will document your performance on key assignments aligned with these standards.
When a key assignment in a course is completed, you will upload this assignment to your assessment portfolio. You will then submit your assignment to your instructor for assessment. The instructor will evaluate your assignment using a rubric. All key assignments will be submitted and assessed through Anthology Portfolio. At the end of your program, you will have a complete e-portfolio of key assignments that document your professional growth.

There is no need for you to create assignments for your class. All Anthology assessments are preloaded in the candidate’s portfolio. You will simply need to wait for the assignments to be submitted to you on Anthology before you can assess.
There are two ways to access assignments submitted to you:
(i) You can click on the “Pending Assessments” on your Dashboard: click here for instructions
(ii) You can use the “Assess” option from the Main Menu (left margin): click here for instructions
[NOTE: Submitted assignments that have not been assessed will appear as Pending. Incomplete assessments will appear as either “Incomplete” or “Draft”. Be sure to fully assess student work so the student can get appropriate feedback on the assignment and the scores can be accurately recorded for all submissions. For more details on assessment statuses, click here.]
To view the scores you have assigned on completed assessments, use the ‘Reporting’ menu option from the Main Menu: click here for instructions
