1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
This tutorial letter contains the portfolio template to be used to complete assignment 50 for
TPS3703 (Teaching practice III for FET (grades 10 - 12). You must do this portfolio for
Teaching methodology 2 as specified in the third year of your curriculum for the stream you
are completing.
Please read the instructions and guidelines carefully and thoroughly before attempting to
complete the portfolio. This portfolio counts 80% of your final mark for this module. Also read the
attachment for information regarding lesson plans.
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 is has been received by Unisa.
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. The mark you receive for the
school visit does not however count towards your marks for this course 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.
If you have any queries regarding the portfolio you should contact the lecturer for this
module as indicated in tutorial letter 101.
Please do not contact the lecturer regarding placements or school visits. See tutorial
letter 102 for contact details in this regard.
Please contact Assignments (see tutorial letter 101) regarding the receipt of assignments
or check the status of your assignment on myUnisa on your student record.
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING WITH YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
This document is the teaching portfolio template and must please be completed 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.

,It is best to complete your portfolio electronically and submit it online. The electronic template is
available online. 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
thing 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. ALWAYS KEEP A COPY. PORTFOLIOS CANNOT BE REMARKED OR
PURCHASED. IF YOU HAVE A COPY WE CAN HOWEVER CHECK IT IF THERE REALLY
SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR RESULT. THIS WILL ONLY BE DONE IN
EXCEPTIONAL CASES WHERE IT IS MERITED.
The following could be reasons why students fail their practical teaching:
Nonsubmission, late submission or failure of assignments, late submission of portfolios,
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). JUST BECAUSE YOU SUBMITTED A PORTFOLIO DOES NOT MEAN YOU
WILL DEFINITELY PASS. YOU WILL ONLY PASS IF THE PORTFOLIO IS OF GOOD
QUALITY, IF YOU COMPLETED ALL SECTIONS FULLY AND CORRECTLY, IF THE
REQUIRED EVIDENCE IS ATTACHED, IF LESSON PLANS ARE REALLY GOOD AND IF ALL
REQUIRED SIGNATURES AND SCHOOL STAMPS ARE IN EVIDENCE.
If you do not receive an sms that your portfolio has been received please contact assignments
immediately and make sure what the problem is. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE
LECTURER IN THIS REGARD. If your portfolio is submitted early you will have an opportunity
to attend to problems.
All online assignments and online portfolios must be submitted as pdf documents. NO WORD
DOCUMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
If you are one of the outstanding exceptional students that adds substantial amounts of
colourful, interesting and credible evidence you must please reduce the size of your artifacts to
keep within the maximum size of documents that can be submitted online or rather make use of
the e-portfolio option. The e-portfolio uses a different template and you may not submit a
portfolio with this template as an e-portfolio. Look on myUnisa under additional materials and
announcements for more information on the e-portfolio.
Negative marking will be used when sections of the portfolio are not completed. For instance, if
we require you to keep a diary and you do not submit it, you will not only loose the 20 marks
allocated to it, you will be given minus 20. That goes for all sections not completed fully and
comprehensively in the portfolio.

, TPS3703/103
The portfolio must be completed during the Teaching Practice period and submitted directly
after completing it. In the interest of quality assessmen,t 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 end 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. YOUR CAREER AND
YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON THE RESULT OF THIS SUBMISSION. 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. It is in
your own interest. It is virtually impossible to make any changes or additions after submission
and wê need enough time to do quality assessment. Last year over 200 students submitted the
wrong documents which were captured as their portfolios which resulted in failure. About 9000
students submitted their portfolios at the last minute– only about 500 of those were students
who completed their teaching practice in the third term, the rest were all late. This will not be
tolerated this year.
If you do your bit and follow the guidelines, I promise you that I will do anything in my power to
assist you with challenges regarding your teaching practice and your portfolios that might crop
up.

ORIENTATION REGARDING YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
Except for all the 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 turorial letter 101).
Chapter one 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 in regard to the assessments that have to be planned and implemented. Most
