Please hand this letter to your mentor to read on your first day at the school:
Dear mentor
Thank you very much for agreeing to support and guide this student from Unisa. It is only possible for
our students to get acquainted with the realities of teaching under the supervision of experienced top
teachers. What you do for our students is irreplaceable and inestimable in their preparation to
become teachers. We request you to assist us with the following?
• Dedicate some time each week to formally meet with the student to discuss her/his progress
during the past week and schedule for the following week.
• Allow the student to observe all the lessons you present and write a short report on 25 of
them (as in the report form included in this portfolio under section 4). Please control that this
is done regularly.
• Assist the student in working through the portfolio systematically to enable her/him to
comprehensively complete it in the 25 days at the school.
• Control that the portfolio is comprehensively completed (including all attachments) at the
end of the 25 days.
• Assist the student with lesson preparation for lessons she/he has to present.
• Assist the student to present as many lessons as possible under your supervision.
• provide feedback to the student after every lesson.
• Assess five of the lessons that must be presented and included in this portfolio.
• Provide feedback and make suggestions for improvement of these five lessons.
• Write a short report on the behaviour and activities of the student during the Practical
Teaching period on the following page.
• Include contact details with your report if we need to make contact with you regarding any
aspect of the Practical Teaching (it may also be the school contact details).
• Contact me if there is any indistinctness regarding what is expected of you or regarding what
the student must do.
• Contact me regarding any misbehaviour or unethical actions by the student (e.g. if the
student comes late or is absent without a good reason or if the student does not cooperate
or if the student does not prepare properly for the lessons she/he must present).
My contact details are:
