Dear Student
1. WELCOME
Welcome to the module Teaching Practice 1 (TPF2601). This examination portfolio must be
completed during the five weeks of compulsory teaching practice. We hope that you will
find this module interesting and that it will enrich your teaching career.
Please read this tutorial letter and retain it and all the other tutorial letters that you will
receive. You must read all the tutorial letters that you receive during the semester
immediately and carefully, as they will 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 assessments for this module.
We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when you work through the study
material, prepare for the assessments and address questions to your lecturers. This
tutorial letter also contain certain general and administrative information about this module.
Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully. It contains the required activities
that you need to do with the help of your mentor at the school where you have been
placed.
Make sure that you contact the Teaching Practice Office well in advance to confirm your
placement before you go to the school to complete your teaching practice. All
communication about your placement must be communicated via your myLife e-mail
address.
We are aware that problems may occasionally disrupt your studies. Please contact your
lecturer by e-mail or telephone if you wish to discuss these.
Good luck and enjoy your first teaching experience!

3 ASSESSMENT 3 Portfolio 50
3.1 Instructions
The activities in the workbook are all observation based and have to take place in the
Foundation Phase (Grade R to 3) during your five weeks of teaching practice. I suggest that
you read all the activities in TPF2601/Assessments 3/0/2025 (which is in the form of a
portfolio/workbook 50) as well as in TPF2601/Assessments 4/0/2025 (which is a
portfolio/workbook 51) before your teaching practice begins in order to gauge how much is
expected of you during the five-week teaching practice period and to help you organise your
time effectively. It would be wise to share these activities with your mentor teacher to plan
when certain observations may be possible and to synchronise these with the timetable and
weekly planning for the five weeks.
