Dear Student
Welcome to the Teaching Practice TPF3703 module. We hope you will find this module
interesting and that it will enrich your teaching career. You must complete this examination
portfolio (Portfolio 50 = Assessment 3). This examination portfolio must be completed during
the five weeks of compulsory face-to-face teaching practice.
Please use the learning management system provided by the University to access the
available support to ensure that you succeed in your studies. During this year you will be
supported through:
Study materials posted on Moodle Platform, where all assessments will be included.
Discussion Forums, where you can post questions for your lecturer to assist you with any
challenges you face in the module. Ensure that you visit the Moodle platform every 3
days.

Moodle platform.

Any other communication on the Announcements must be read on a regular basis,
including your e-mails where we will also send messages.
We hope you will take advantage of the support provided throughout the year and not leave
everything for the end of the year.
Please read through this tutorial letter and retain this and all the other tutorial letters that you
will receive. You must read through all the tutorial letters you receive during the year
immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and sometimes urgent
information. They are our way of communicating with you about teaching, learning and
assessment.
Tutorial Letter 103 contains important information about the portfolios that you need to
complete for this module. We urge you to read through it carefully and to keep it at hand
when working through the study material, preparing the assessments and addressing
questions to your lecturers.
We have also included certain general and administrative information about this module.
Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully. It contains the required activities that
you need to do with the help of your mentor at the school where you have been placed by the
Teaching Practice Office (TPO).
Ensure you contact the Teaching Practice Office in advance to confirm your placement
before you go to the school to complete the teaching practice. All communication of the
placement must be communicated via your myLife e-mail address.
We are aware that problems may occasionally disrupt your studies. Please contact your
lecturer via e-mail or by telephone, should you wish to discuss these.
The FIVE (5) weeks of teaching practice for TPF3703 consist of 5 weeks of learning in
practice (face-to-face).
