Assessment and Accreditation

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.

Student (Candidate) Resources

You must use your QC email account to access Anthology Portfolio.

(If you do not have a QC email account, contact OIT Help Desk by phone: 718-997-4444, via email: HelpDesk@qc.cuny.edu, or on the web: OIT Help Desk.)

Your Anthology Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio subscription to submit their assignments as directed until graduation.

If you require assistance navigating Anthology Portfolio, submitting coursework, obtaining an account, or any other issue, please email us at AnthologyQCSupport@qc.cuny.edu.

Anthology Portfolio support at Queens College is available during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm). Your quickest access to support is via email. Please plan ahead when working on assignments and assessments. We will only be available to assist you during our normal business hours.

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.

As a Queens College Education Program candidate, please click the link below to purchase a subscription through Eventbrite.

Anthology Portfolio 1-Year Subscription Purchase

We have a handy “Quick Start” guide for new users of Anthology at the link below:
Quickstart Guide for Students

Upload your files first: Add File

Then, submit to your instructor: Submit Work

Help! I uploaded the wrong assignment / submitted to the wrong assessor / need to fix what I have submitted…

First, you will need to withdraw the assignment: Withdraw a Submission

Once you have withdrawn your assignment, you can now re-submit your work.

You can design your own portfolios separate from the program assessment portfolio. For example, you might use Anthology to design an electronic resume portfolio. You may wish to design a portfolio to target a particular type of position or career path. Anthology Portfolio can also be used to share your personal story with your family and friends.
