Dear Student
Welcome to the Teaching Practice TPF2601 module. This examination portfolio must be
completed as part of the compulsory two weeks teaching practice. You should have
completed and submitted Assessment 3 before you do this one. We hope you will find
this module interesting, and that it will enrich your teaching career.
You must read through all the tutorial letters you receive during the semester immediately and
carefully, as they 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 through it carefully and to keep it at hand when working through the study
material, preparing the Assessments, and addressing questions to your lecturers.
We have also included certain general and administrative information about this module.
Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully. It contains the required lessons that
you need to plan with your mentor at the school where you have been placed.
Make sure you contact the Teaching Practice Office well in advance to confirm your placement
before you go to the school to complete the teaching practice. All communication regarding
the placement must be communicated via your myLife e-mail address.
We are aware that problems may occasionally disrupt your studies. Please contact your
lecturer via e-mail or by telephone should you wish to discuss these.
We hope you will enjoy this module and we wish you success!

The activities presented in the workbook are all guided observations and need to take place
in the Foundation Phase (Grade R to 3) classes for two weeks to pass the examination
Assessment/portfolio. We suggest you read through all the activities in this
TPF2601/Assessments 4/0/2025 examination workbook before your teaching practice.
Discuss all your expectations with your mentor teacher at the school well in advance to gauge
how much is expected of you during the three weeks of teaching practice, and to help you
to organise your time effectively. It would also be wise to share these activities with your
mentor teacher to plan when certain observations may be possible to synchronise these with
the timetable and weekly planning for those two weeks.
