, TPS2601/103
Dear student
This tutorial letter contains the portfolio template to be used to complete Assignment 50 for TPS2601
(Teaching practice for SEN Grades 7–9 FET (Grades 10–12).
Please read the instructions and guidelines carefully and thoroughly before attempting to
complete the portfolio. This portfolio counts 80% of your final mark for TPS2601.
Your future and your career depend on the timely submission of the portfolio. You must
submit the portfolio as soon as you finished your practical teaching period of 25 school days.
No portfolios received after 30 August 2020 will be marked! It will be returned to you and you
will have to reregister and repeat your teaching practice during the following year. Make sure
that you send it in on time and that Unisa has received it.
PLEASE NOTE: The school visit is a very important part of your training as you get advice and
support that might be valuable for your preparation as a teacher. However, the mark you receive for
the school visit does not count towards your mark for this course, as at this stage we cannot yet
guarantee that every student will be visited. If it happens that you are not visited, your marks
will not be affected in any way.
If you have any queries regarding the portfolio, you can contact me at:

Please do not contact me regarding placements or school visits. See Tutorial Letter 101 for contact
details in this regard.
For any other enquiries and contact details, see Tutorial Letter 101 section 3.

1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE TEACHING PRACTICE MODULE
3
, The Teaching Practice module provides students with an opportunity to observe and experience
how a variety of aspects of teaching is practiced in the school. During the teaching practice weeks,
students can observe and apply in different contexts, the knowledge and skills introduced in other
modules of the BEd programme.
Teaching and learning is never static. The school environment is dynamic and teachers need current
experience of what goes on in the classrooms to benefit from their studies.
Apart from all the other modules you have to complete in preparation for teaching practice and the
information already contained in the tutorial letters and the portfolio, I recommend that you consult
the recommended resources indicated in Tutorial Letter 101.
In chapter 1 of “Teaching Practice: perspectives and frameworks”, you can read up on additional
information as orientation for your teaching practice. This chapter explains the motivation for doing
teaching practice as well as how you must prepare for teaching practice. You can also read more
about what to expect and what will be expected from you regarding your behaviour as a student in
the classroom and in the school.
I also wish to encourage you to read other books and articles on teaching practice to equip you for
the teaching practice experience and complete it to the best of your ability.
In the portfolio, you will also often be referred to specific resources. Read the required information
before attempting to do the activities.
The success of your teaching practice is mostly in your hands and if you approach it with an energetic
and positive attitude, it can be a very satisfying and enriching experience. Go and show them out
there that you are going to be an excellent teacher when you start teaching!
1.1.1 PURPOSE OF TEACHING PRACTICE MODULE 1(TPS2601)
The purpose of the module is to support students in their initial teaching experiences – “the
microcontexts of everyday life in classrooms” (Cohen, Manion, Morrison & Wyse, 2010:1) and
proceeds from the understanding that education is context-specific and context-dependent.
The focus of this module is guided observation, helping students to observe practice and make
connections between what they have learnt, what they have observed and what they have
experienced. They may become involved in assisting the teacher under instruction. The placement
will require five weeks in a school and there will be an “orientation to school teaching”/approach.
