2.1 Introduction
This portfolio is a structured portfolio and you must use the portfolio template we provided. All
aspects of the portfolio are compulsory except where it is indicated that something can be
included for additional marks. You are expected to complete all activities for each aspect of the
portfolio that is compulsory.
Where applicable you have to include documentary evidence. Attach the evidence at the
appropriate section in the portfolio. For instance, if you want to include a copy of the school’s
disciplinary code you attach it where the disciplinary code is discussed.
The portfolio also includes lesson plans that you have to complete and present. You can
present as many lessons as you are allowed to by the school but at least five of these lessons
need to be assessed by your mentor. Mentors will give you a mark and feedback and will sign
the assessments. You also need to get the assessed lesson plans stamped with the official
school stamp.
After completing the portfolio, you need to sign the declaration form at the end and you must
also get it signed by the mentor and the school principal. This also needs to be stamped with
the official school stamp.
Portfolios are examination equivalents and are not sent back to the students. Please do not
include anything valuable or anything that you will need again. You can include photos of
artefacts you used as you cannot include them in the portfolio.
If you do not send your portfolio by registered post or by courier where you have proof of
submission, you have to keep a copy in case it gets lost in the postal system.
Do not send more than one portfolio in the same envelope. Do not send in other assignments
in the same envelope as your portfolio.
Make sure you get an sms confirming that the portfolio has been received by Unisa and
is registered on the assessment system. You can also check this on myUnisa on your
student record.
Do not wait until the results come out before you check this.
You cannot claim later that you did submit it if you did not receive this confirmation. If no
confirmation is received it means that your submission was not received by Unisa. You
will then have to resend a copy.

, 2.2 Portfolio Focus
The purpose of this portfolio is to demonstrate and give evidence that you completed a
successful teaching practice period of 25 full school days in Further Education and Training
(grades 10-12).
Teacher education consists of different types of knowledge that must be integrated:
● Conceptual knowledge (foundations of education/ theories/disciplinary knowledge/
content) with the aim of acquiring knowledge specialised proficiency.
● Contextual knowledge (all aspects that endeavours to contextualise knowledge for
occupational purposes, such as subject didactics and practical teaching) with the aim of
acquiring task-specific proficiency.
It is therefore important that you find links between school practices (including their
associated activities) and your studies (including disciplinary knowledge and skills). You
must do this in every section of the portfolio.
This portfolio will have a whole-school perspective (understanding your role as teacher in the
school). As student you are expected to familiarise yourself with the full range of activities that
are associated with a functional school. You not only have to observe these activities but are
expected to take part in as many of them as is possible. You are also expected to look at these
activities critically and to comment on their purpose, functionality, outstanding features and
possible shortcomings where applicable.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PORTFOLIO CAN BE
COMPLETED AND HANDED IN IN THREE WAYS:
● As a written/typed hard copy that is posted;
● As an electronic online submission;
● As an e-portfolio.
For guidelines regarding preparation and submission
as an e-portfolio please go to myUnisa and look
under additional sources where the procedure is
explained in full.
