, TPS3704: Assignment 50
INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
This tutorial letter contains the portfolio template to be used to complete assignment 50 for TPS3704
(Teaching practice for FET (grades 10 - 12).
Please read the instructions and guidelines carefully and thoroughly before attempting to complete the
portfolio. This portfolio counts 80% of your final mark for TPS3704. Also, read the attachment for
information regarding lesson plans.
Your future and your career depend on quality teaching practice and timely submission of the portfolio. You
must submit the portfolio as soon as you finished your practical teaching period of 25 school days. Since
this is a non-venue-based examination, you are expected to complete it every day. 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 last day 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. IT IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR PORTFOLIO IS RECEIVED 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 as you are also
expected to instill the same skills to learners.
PLEASE NOTE: The school visit is a very important part of your training as you get advice and support
that is valuable for your preparation as a teacher. The mark you receive for the school visit does not
however count towards your marks for this module, 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.
Read all instructions from this booklet and Tut 101 before
you start teaching practice.
