Anthology Portfolio is a comprehensive solution designed for institutions to collect, assess, and showcase student learning outcomes and achievements. It enables educators and students to track progress, manage assessments, and demonstrate competencies in a centralized platform.
The Department of Education at PennWest uses Anthology Portfolio (Anthology) to gather data about its teacher preparation programs through formal and informal evaluations throughout the teacher candidate's placement. This data is used for state reporting and national accreditation, as well as to provide feedback to the university for continuous program improvement.
Anthology is also used to collect, review, and maintain required clearance documents for all course-related observation, field, and clinical experiences, as well as student teaching.
