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 August 2020 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.
3
, It is best to complete your portfolio electronically and submit it online. The
electronic template is available online. 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.
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 thing happen and you should KEEP BACKUPS ALL
THE TIME. If you send a hard copy you must submit this whole document and
evidence must be attached to the pages where it is relevant. Send the portfolio by
courier or registered mail. Shops and the postal service are not reliable. ALWAYS
KEEP A COPY. PORTFOLIOS CANNOT BE REMARKED OR
PURCHASED. IF YOU HAVE A COPY WE CAN HOWEVER CHECK IT IF THERE REALLY
SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR RESULT. THIS WILL ONLY BE DONE IN
EXCEPTIONAL CASES WHERE IT IS MERITED.
The following could be reasons why students fail their practical teaching:
Nonsubmission, 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 LESSON PLANS ARE REALLY GOOD AND IF
ALL REQUIRED SIGNATURES AND SCHOOL STAMPS ARE IN EVIDENCE.
If you do not receive an sms that your portfolio has been received please contact
assignments immediately and make sure what the problem is. PLEASE DO NOT
CONTACT THE LECTURER IN THIS REGARD. If your portfolio is submitted early you
will have an opportunity to attend to problems.
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 please reduce the
size of your artifacts to keep within the maximum size of documents that can be
submitted online or rather make use of the e-portfolio option. The e-portfolio uses a
different template and you may not submit a portfolio with this template as an e-
portfolio. Look on myUnisa under additional materials and announcements for more
information on the e-portfolio.
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
