Purpose-built educator preparation: Watermark Student Learning & Licensure

CAEP accreditation requires continuous, authentic evidence of teacher candidate performance—both in the college classroom and out in the field. Watermark Student Learning & Licensure is designed specifically to support professional accredited programs through a single, intuitive platform.

With Student Learning & Licensure, Educator Prep programs can:

Streamline field workflows: Easily manage placements, track candidate hours, and capture supervisor evaluations on mobile devices—even offline.
Track candidate growth & portfolios: Transform everyday assignments into comprehensive ePortfolios that showcase candidate mastery over time.
Simplify CAEP reporting: Map assessments directly to CAEP, state, and institutional standards to generate audit-ready reporting in clicks, not months.
Enhance video assessment: Pair SLL with GoReact to provide direct, time-stamped video feedback on student teaching observations.
