1 GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
PERIOD
Dear Prospective Teacher

All B.Ed. (Intermediate Phase) student teachers must prepare a minimum of six lessons and
present them in the presence of a mentor teacher during the teaching practice period. You
must complete the three declaration forms, six lesson plans, reflective self- assessment
forms included in this tutorial letter during the compulsory five-week period of teaching
practice. Your mentor teacher must complete assessment of lesson presentation, write the
comments, sign and put the school stamp in the section dedicated to him/her. Submit your
portfolio immediately when you are done before the closing date. Please note when submitting
electronically, it is not acceptable to copy and paste from one lesson to another, be it the
lesson itself or the self-reflection thereafter.


Teaching practice is a compulsory requirement for the B.Ed. programme. If Assignment 50,
(provided in this tutorial letter) with the relevant content has not been submitted,
marked and passed, the degree will not be awarded to you.

Best wishes
Dr Maja



2 SOME TIPS FOR SURVIVAL
• Be thoroughly professional. Your way of dressing and punctuality are important
throughout the teaching practice period.
• Do not be late for meetings and classes.
• You should not chew gum or attend to your cell phone while you teach.
• Ask your mentor teacher where you should sit during breaks, where to park your car
and so on.
• Generally (there are exceptions) you should stand while you teach in order to
show the learners that you are in control and committed to working hard, this
sets a good example and tone for your lesson.
• Move around the class while the learners are working. It will keep them focused while
the shy ones will be able to get your attention more easily. It will also assist you in
stopping any disruptions. You will also be able to see if the learners are able to do the
activity you set for them.
• Always be very well prepared for a lesson. Plan extra activities until you get a better
idea of how long the lesson will take. It is unprofessional to “finish” your lesson after 10
minutes. As you gain more experience you will be able to judge time a little better. If you
don’t need the extra activities, you can save them for another day.
• Don’t aim to get learners to like you. Get them to listen to you. If they see that you are
organised and in control of a lesson, they will respect you for being a good teacher. If
you only want them to like you, they will not listen to you. They will think you are one of
their friends. Remain approachable but professional.
