A showcase portfolio mightask a student to include items that represent: (i) their best work; (ii) their mostinteresting work; (iii) their most improved work; (iv) their most disappointing work; (v)and their favorite work. Items could be homework assignments, examinations,laboratory reports, news clippings, or other creative works. To examine the ways inapplying this portfolio, this study invited 5 male and 2 female teachers as participants ofdifferent vocational schools in North Metro in 2016 of last odd semester. They wereasked to perform in their class then evaluate the class using showcase portfolio at theend of the class session.
