,TPS3704: Assignment 50
INTRODUCTION Type text here
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.
Read all instructions from this booklet and Tut 101 before
you start teaching practice.

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.
Portfolios should be submitted immediately after completion of 25 days. This means your due date is
based on the day you finish your teaching practice. The 30th of August is for students who will complete
their teaching practice at the end of the third term. No portfolios received after 30 August 2021 will
be marked! Make sure that you send the portfolio on time and that it has been received by
Unisa.
