TPS3703/103/2022 3 1 INTRODUCTION Dear Student This tutorial letter contains the portfolio template to be used to complete assignment 50 for TPS3703 (Teaching practice III for FET (grades 10 - 12). You must do this portfolio for Teaching methodology 2 as specified in the third year of your curriculum for the stream you are completing. Please read the instructions and guidelines carefully and thoroughly before attempting to complete the portfolio. This portfolio counts 80% of your final mark for this module. Also read the attachment for information regarding lesson plans. Your future and your career depend on the timely submission of the portfolio. You must submit the portfolio as soon as you finished your practical teaching period of 25 school days. No portfolios received after 30 September 2022 will be marked! It will be returned to you and you will have to reregister and repeat your teaching practice during the following year. Make sure that you send it in on time and that is has been received by Unisa. PLEASE NOTE: The school visit is a very important part of your training as you get advice and support that might be valuable for your preparation as a teacher. The mark you receive for the school visit does not however count towards your marks for this course as at this stage we cannot affirm that every student can be visited. If it happens that you are not visited your marks will not be affected in any way. If you have any queries regarding the portfolio you should contact the lecturer for this module as indicated in tutorial letter 101. Please do not contact the lecturer regarding placements or school visits. See tutorial letter 102 for contact details in this regard. Please contact Assignments (see tutorial letter 101) regarding the receipt of assignments or check the status of your assignment on myUnisa on your student record. PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING WITH YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE This document is the teaching portfolio template and must please be completed and submitted as one document with comprehensive evidence of each aspect inserted at the appropriate sections. PLEASE DO NOT ATTACH ALL EVIDENCE AT THE END OR AS A SEPARATE SECTION. It is best to complete your portfolio electronically and submit it online. The electronic template is available online via MyUnisa. After submitting it please check that everything was downloaded and that it appears correctly on the system. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS IN THE PORTAL FOR THE PORTFOLIO SUBMISSION. MAKE SURE ALL YOUR INFORMATION IS IN THE PORTFOLIO BEFORE SUBMITTING IT. No additional information can be added later. DO NOT SUBMIT THE WRONG PORTFOLIO IN THE PORTAL MEANT FOR ANOTHER PORTFOLIO. 4 Always keep a backup of your portfolio. I have heard all the hard luck stories (some true and some very innovative inventions) about laptops being stolen from cars, from homes, from schools and everywhere else you can think of and from crashed computers, viruses, etc. These things happen and you should KEEP BACKUPS ALL THE TIME. The following could be reasons why students fail their practical teaching: Non-submission, late submission or failure of assignments, late submission of portfolios, lack of credible evidence, poor quality of lesson plans, poor quality of answers, failure to complete all sections of the portfolio comprehensively (including meaningful reflections), cheating (with school stamps, signatures, copying of the work of other students, submitting the work of teachers instead of your own, not attending all practical teaching days). JUST BECAUSE YOU SUBMITTED A PORTFOLIO DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL DEFINITELY PASS. YOU WILL ONLY PASS IF THE PORTFOLIO IS OF GOOD QUALITY, IF YOU COMPLETED ALL SECTIONS FULLY AND CORRECTLY, IF THE REQUIRED EVIDENCE IS ATTACHED, IF ALL OBSERVATIONS ARE COMPLETED, IF LESSON PLANS ARE REALLY GOOD AND IF ALL REQUIRED SIGNATURES AND SCHOOL STAMPS ARE IN EVIDENCE. Please make sure that your portfolio has been successfully submitted via the MyUnisa portal. All online assignments and online portfolios must be submitted as pdf documents. NO WORD DOCUMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. If you are one of the outstanding exceptional students that adds substantial amounts of colourful, interesting and credible evidence you must then please reduce the size of your artefacts to keep within the maximum size of documents that can be submitted online. You can go to to compress your portfolios. Negative marking will be used when sections of the portfolio are not completed. For instance, if we require you to keep a diary and you do not submit it, you will not only lose the 20 marks allocated to it, you will be given minus 20. That goes for all sections not completed fully and comprehensively in the portfolio. The portfolio must be completed during the Teaching Practice period and submitted directly after completing it. In the interest of quality assessment, we have to stagger the submissions so that they do not all come to us for marking at the end of the year. If you do not complete the portfolio during the Teaching Practice period and do not submit it on the end of your teaching practice, you will be penalised in the following way: If it reaches us two weeks late – minus 10%, three weeks late – minus 20%, four weeks late 30% and so on. YOUR CAREER AND YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON THE RESULT OF THIS SUBMISSION. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR PORTFOLIO IS IN GOOD ORDER AND ON TIME. You might think that these measures are harsh, but we work with huge numbers of portfolios and expect you to take responsibility for your work and to make sure you follow the guidelines. It is in your own interest. It is virtually impossible to make any changes or additions after submission and we need enough time to do quality assessment. If you do your bit and follow the guidelines, I promise you that I will do everything in my power to assist you with challenges regarding your teaching practice and your portfolios that might crop up.

ORIENTATION REGARDING YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE Except for all the other modules you have already completed as preparation for teaching practice and information already contained in the tutorial letters and the portfolio it is recommended that you consult chapter one in the recommended book Teaching practice perspectives and frameworks which you can request from the library (see tutorial letter 101). Chapter one is titled “A positive and enriching teaching practice experience” and its purpose is to make available additional information to orientate you regarding teaching practice. It covers topics like: why teaching practice is done, how to prepare for it, how to do your observations, what to expect and what will be expected from you such as student classroom behaviour and student school behaviour. It is not essential to your teaching practice but might help to allay some doubts you have and to answer some questions on things you are not sure of.
