1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE PERIOD
Dear Prospective Teacher
All B.Ed. (Intermediate Phase) student teachers must prepare and teach 25 or more lessons
during the teaching practice period. Four of the 25 lessons must be planned and written in the space
provided in this portfolio. Three must be presented in the presence of a mentor teacher and one
in the presence of the supervisor. Complete the four declaration forms after teaching the
four lessons during the compulsory five-week period of teaching practice. Your mentor
teacher must complete the assessment of the 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 at any time before the closing date.
Teaching practice is a compulsory requirement for the B.Ed. programme. If Assessment
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
Prof Maja
1.2 YOUR LESSON PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT FORMS
• Plan and prepare four lessons, namely, Home or First Additional Language, two for your
first, second, third, and fourth chosen school subjects. Use the blank lesson plan forms for
this purpose. Stick to the format given in your portfolio for recording purposes even if you
do not teach the lessons one after the other.
• Discuss each lesson with your mentor teacher at the school beforehand.
• If the mentor teacher is not available, then ask any of their colleagues to be of assistance
in the assessment of your lessons.
• Ask your mentor teacher to complete the assessment form after you have presented the
lessons.
• Include all the resources you used in your lessons in this workbook. Be original and
creative!
1.3 TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS/STRATEGIES
It is unlikely that you will use only one method to present your lessons. You may find that you
need different strategies at different stages of a lesson. Take note of the following guidelines
on how to use the different teaching and learning methods/strategies:
• Lecture/direct instruction. The younger the learners, the shorter this component of a
lesson should be. Remember, it is preferable for learners to be active and to construct
meaning about what they learn.
• Class discussion. You have to be very careful in managing a class discussion. How will
you ensure that the learners do not all talk at once or shout out answers? Have a strategy
ready. The discussion shouldn’t be too informal.
