1. WELCOME
Dear Student
Welcome to the Teaching Practice TPF26011501 module. This examination portfolio must
be completed during the three weeks of compulsory teaching practice. You should have
completed and submitted Assignment 50 before you do this one. We hope you will find
this module interesting and that it will enrich your teaching career.
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
semester 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 101 contains important information about the assignments 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 assignments, 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 lessons that
you need to plan with your mentor at the school where you have been placed.
Make sure you contact the Teaching Practice Office well in advance to confirm your
placement before you go to the school to complete the teaching practice. All communication
regarding 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.
We hope you will enjoy this module and we wish you success!

3.1 Introduction
The following activities are all guided observations and need to take place in a Grade R
class for three weeks to pass the examination assignment/portfolio. We suggest you
read through all the activities in Tutorial Letter 104 before your teaching practice. Discuss
all your expectations with your mentor teacher at the school well in advance to gauge how
much is expected of you during the three weeks of teaching practice, and to help you to
organise your time effectively. It would also be wise to share these activities with your
mentor teacher to plan when certain observations may be possible to synchronise these
with the timetable and weekly planning for those three weeks.
