,TPS3705: Assignment 50
INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
This tutorial letter contains the portfolio template to be used to complete assignment 50 for TPS3705
(Teaching practice for SP (grades 7 - 9).
Please read the instructions and guidelines carefully and thoroughly before attempting to complete the
portfolio. This portfolio counts 80% of your final mark for TPS3705. 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 have finished your practical teaching period of 25
school days. Since this is a non-venue-based examination and you are expected to do it every day. In the
interest of quality assessment, we must 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 penalized 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 work ethic to your learners.
PLEASE NOTE: The school visit by a supervisor 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
however not count towards your marks for this course, as at this stage we cannot guarantee that every
student can be visited. If you are not visited your marks will not be affected in any way.
If you have any queries regarding the portfolio (read your tutorial letters before you ask questions),
you can contact me at:

,INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING WITH YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
This is a non-venue-based exam called portfolio. It must 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 a school in grades 7-9.
This document is the teaching portfolio template and must please 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 portfolio 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 must include documentary evidence. Attach the evidence at the appropriate section
in the portfolio. For instance, if you want 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 must complete and present. You can present as many
lessons as you can 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 your mentor teacher and the school principal. This also needs to be stamped with the official school stamp.
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. The information I deleted is no longer applicable as portfolios are submitted
online only.

,and make sure you understand what the problem is. If your portfolio is submitted early, you will have an
opportunity to attend to problems.
