PRESCRBED BOOK: Please consult your practical teaching prescribed book (see tutorial letter 101)
before attempting to complete this portfolio. In chapter 1 there is an overview of what you can expect
from your practical teaching experience. As we had complaints from schools about the behaviour of
some of our students, we want you to read chapter 2 very carefully so that you are aware of the level of
professional conduct expected of you. In chapter 3 we want to prepare you for the context of diverse
schools and your role in facilitating this in the classroom. Chapter 4 gives you comprehensive
guidelines on lesson preparation and presentation and is an additional resource you can consult in this
regard.
As this practical teaching period focusses on co-teaching chapter 5 is probably the most important
chapter to help you prepare for this school experience. Chapter 6 deals with reflective teaching and we
hope you will gain the knowledge, skills and attitudes from it on your journey to become a reflective
practitioner. All matters pertaining to ICT and its uses and inclusion in your teaching practice are dealt
with in chapter 7 and you are advised to try these out in a safe environment during your teaching
practice.
When you have to plan assessments first read chapter 8 on assessments. You will also find useful
information on classroom observations n chapter 9.
NOTE: Keep your prescribed book, as you will also be able to consult it when doing practical teaching
III and IV in the coming years.
