TPS3704:Teaching Practice 2 FET PHASE (Grade 10-12)
Tutorial Letter 103B/0/22
Year Module
Assignment 50: Portfolio
, TPS3704: Assignment 50
INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
This tutorial letter contains the portfolio template to be used to complete assignment 50 for TPS3704
(Teaching practice for 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 TPS3704. Also, read the attachment for
information regarding lesson plans.
Your future and your career depend on quality teaching practice and timely submission of the portfolio. You
must submit the portfolio as soon as you finished your practical teaching period of 25 school days. Since
this is a non-venue-based examination, you are expected to complete it every day. In the interest of quality
assessment, we have to stagger the submissions so that they do not all come to us for marking at the end
of the year. If you do not complete the portfolio during the Teaching Practice period and do not submit it on
the last day of your teaching practice you will be penalised in the following way: If it reaches us two weeks
late – minus 10%, three weeks late – minus 20%, four weeks late 30% and so on. IT IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR PORTFOLIO IS RECEIVED IN GOOD ORDER AND ON
TIME. You might think that these measures are harsh, but we work with huge numbers of portfolios and
expect you to take responsibility for your work and to make sure you follow the guidelines as you are also
expected to instill the same skills to learners.
PLEASE NOTE: The school visit is a very important part of your training as you get advice and support
that is valuable for your preparation as a teacher. The mark you receive for the school visit does not
however count towards your marks for this module, as at this stage we cannot affirm that every student
can be visited. If it happens that you are not visited your marks will not be affected in any way.
INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
,This is a non-venue-based exam called portfolio. It has to be completed on each day you are at school (every day). You
should learn as much as possible from your mentor and other teachers as well as from the learners. During Teaching
Practice (TP), you are expected to comply with all the school rules and policies e.g. leave policy, code of conduct etc.
Read this document thoroughly before you start your TP. For this module, you can do TP at high school in grade 10-12
or TVET College in NCV L2-4.
It is your responsibility to plan for TP i.e. arranging with the school and plan the TP during the teaching and learning
period. Planning to do TP during third term may be problematic since most schools are busy with trial exams. Check
with the school for the best time to do TP.
This document is the teaching portfolio template and must be completed fully and submitted as one document with
comprehensive evidence of each aspect inserted at the appropriate sections. PLEASE DO NOT ATTACH ALL
EVIDENCE AT THE END OR AS A SEPARATE SECTION.
This is a structured portfolio and you must use the portfolio template we provided. All aspects of the portfolio are
compulsory except where it is indicated that something can be included for additional marks. You are expected to
complete all activities for each aspect of the portfolio that is compulsory.
Where applicable you have to include documentary evidence. Attach the evidence at the appropriate section in the
portfolio. For instance, if you are requested to include a copy of the school’s disciplinary code you attach it where the
disciplinary code is discussed.
The portfolio also includes lesson plans that you have to complete and present. You can present as many lessons as
you are allowed to by the school but at least five of these lessons need to be assessed by your mentor. Mentors will
give you a mark and feedback and will sign the assessments. You also need to get the assessed lesson plans stamped
with the official school stamp.
After completing the portfolio, you need to sign the declaration form at the end, and you must also get it signed by the
mentor and the school principal. This also needs to be stamped with the official school stamp.
If the declaration is not signed and stamped, the portfolio will be invalid.
It is best to complete your portfolio electronically and submit it online. The electronic template is available online. All
online assignments and online portfolios must be submitted as pdf documents. NO WORD DOCUMENTS WILL BE
ACCEPTED. After submitting it please check that everything was downloaded and that, it appears correctly on the
system. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS IN THE PORTAL FOR THE PORTFOLIO
SUBMISSION. MAKE SURE ALL YOUR INFORMATION IS IN
THE PORTFOLIO BEFORE SUBMITTING IT. No additional information can be added later. DO NOT SUBMIT THE
WRONG PORTFOLIO IN THE PORTAL MEANT FOR ANOTHER PORTFOLIO.
Always keep a backup of your portfolio. I have heard all the hard luck stories (some true and some very innovative
inventions) about laptops being stolen from cars, from homes, from schools and everywhere else, you can think of and
from crashed computers, viruses, etc. These things happen and you should KEEP BACKUPS ALL THE TIME. If you
send a hard copy, you must submit this whole document and evidence must be attached to the pages where it is
relevant. Send the portfolio by courier or registered mail. Shops and the postal service are not reliable.
PORTFOLIOS CANNOT BE REMARKED OR PURCHASED.
If you add, substantial amounts of colourful, interesting and credible evidence you must please reduce the size of your
artefacts to keep within the maximum size of documents that can be submitted online.
The following could be reasons why students fail their practical teaching:
Non-submission, late submission or failed assignment 1 and 2, lack of credible evidence, poor quality of lesson
plans, poor quality of answers, failure to complete all sections of the portfolio comprehensively (including
meaningful reflections), cheating (with school stamps, signatures, copying of the work of other students, submitting
the work of teachers instead of your own, not attending all practical teaching days).
Make sure you get a SMS confirming that the portfolio has been received by Unisa and is registered on
the assessment system. You can also check this on MyUnisa on your student record. If there are,
challenges contact assignment section. Do not wait until the results come out before you check this.

ORIENTATION REGARDING YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
Apart from all other modules you have already completed as preparation for teaching practice and information
already contained in the tutorial letters and the portfolio, it is recommended that you consult chapter one in the
recommended book Teaching practice perspectives and frameworks which you can request from the library (see tutorial
letter 101).
Chapter 1 is titled “A positive and enriching teaching practice experience” and its purpose is to make available
additional information to orientate you regarding teaching practice. It covers topics like: why teaching practice is done,
how to prepare for it, how to do your observations, what to expect and what will be expected from you, such as student
classroom behaviour and student school behaviour.
It is not essential to your teaching practice but might help to allay some doubts you have and to answer some questions
on things you are not sure of.
One of the biggest challenges students seem to encounter when preparing and presenting their lessons is planning and
implementation of assessments. Most students lose many marks because of the poor assessments they include in their
lesson plans and some just do not complete the assessment sections. This is despite the fact that they completed the
“Teacher as assessor” module successfully.
To refresh your memory on what is required when planning assessments, you could read chapter 10: Assessment in
practical teaching. Practical advice is given regarding all the types of assessments you will encounter at school and you
will find a section on the assessments that you will undergo during teaching practice.
Quite a lot of reflection is built into your portfolio. To learn more about reflection you could consult chapters 11
and 12 while in chapter 7 there are useful sections on lesson presentation that you might benefit from.
You are also encouraged to read other books and articles on teaching practice to equip you better on teaching and
learning environment.
