Candidate Electronic Portfolio System (TrueOutcomes)
The School of Education utilizes an electronic portfolio assessment system for all education programs at the University of Rhode Island. TrueOutcomes gives our faculty and students a consistent record of academic performance on critical tasks, which are aligned to state and national teaching standards.
This cutting edge assessment system has been presented at both state and national education conferences by the School of Education's faculty and staff. The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) believes the School of Education has "developed an assessment system with clearly defined data management responsibilities and technological support that enables the unit to function efficiently and make sound decisions based upon data, research, and stakeholder input."
