INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
This tutorial letter contains the portfolio template to be used to complete assignment 50 for PTEAC2Y
(Teaching practice for SP (grades 7 - 9).
Please read the instructions and guidelines carefully and thoroughly before attempting to complete the
portfolio. This portfolio counts 80% of your final mark for PTEAC2Y. 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 and you are expected to do 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 penalized 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 however not
count towards your marks for this course, as at this stage we cannot yet guarantee 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 (read your tutorial letters before you ask questions),
you can contact me at:

PTEAC2Y/103
INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING WITH YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE
This is a non-venue-based exam called portfolio. It has to be completed on each day you are at school
(every day). You should learn as much as possible from your mentor and other teachers as well as from the
learners. During Teaching Practice (TP), you are expected to comply with all the school rules and policies
e.g. leave policy, code of conduct etc. Read this document thoroughly before you start your TP. For this
module, you can do TP at SP (grades 7- 9) only.
This document is the teaching portfolio template and must please be completed fully 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.
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.
It is best to complete your portfolio electronically and submit it online. The electronic template is available
online. All online assignments and online portfolios must be submitted as pdf documents. NO WORD
DOCUMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. 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 things 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 do not receive an SMS that your portfolio has been received please contact assignments immediately
and make sure what the problem is. If your portfolio is submitted early, you will have an opportunity to
attend to problems.
If you add 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.
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 loose 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. 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 anything in my
power to assist you with challenges regarding your teaching practice and your portfolios that might crop up.
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).
Portfolios are examination equivalents and are not sent back to the students. The portfolio results are
released in December. Please do not include anything valuable or anything that you will need again.
Make sure you get a 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. If there are
challenges, contact assignment section. 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. It is highly recommended to submit your portfolio online to
avoid problems that can lead to resending assignments.
Portfolios are submitted immediately after completion. This means your due date is based on when you
finish your teaching practice. The 30th of September is for students who will complete their teaching practice
at the end of the third term. No portfolios received after 30 September 2020 will be marked! All
portfolios received after the due date will be returned to you and you will have to reregister and
repeat your teaching practice module the following year. Make sure that you send the portfolio on
time and that is has been received by Unisa.
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.
One of the biggest challenges students seem to encounter when preparing and presenting their lessons is
planning and implementation of assessments. Most students lose a lot of marks because of the poor
PTEAC2Y/103
assessments they include in their lesson plans and some just do not complete the assessment sections.
This is despite the fact that they completed the “Teacher as assessor” module successfully.
To refresh your memory on what is required when planning assessments, you could read chapter 10:
Assessment in practical teaching. Practical advice is given regarding all the types of assessments you will
encounter at school and you will also find a section on the assessments you yourself will undergo during
teaching practice.
Quite a lot of reflection is built into your portfolio. To learn more about reflection you could consult chapters
11 and 12 while in chapter 7 there are useful sections on lesson presentation that you might benefit from.
You are also encouraged to read other books and articles on teaching practice to equip you better on
teaching and learning environment.
The success of your teaching practice is mostly in your hands and if you approach it with an energetic and
positive attitude it can be a very satisfying and enriching experience. Go and show them out there that you
are going to be a professional teacher when you start teaching!
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 the Senior Phase (grades 7-9).
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:

Teaching in the senior phase – grades 7-9 (observing, planning, presenting and linking
with your subject didactics)
The purpose of this part of the portfolio is to demonstrate your ability to plan and present your
ow n lessons. These model lessons should contain all aspects that are included in the template
we provided.
PLEASE NOTE: THESE SHOULD BE SPECIAL, OUTSTANDING MODEL LESSONS, WHICH

SHOULD PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF YOUR COMPETENCIES AS A BEGINNER TEACHER. USE
DIFFERENT LESSON TYPES AND DIFFERENT PRESENTATIONS. USE MANY RESOURCES
AND MAKE SURE LEARNERS ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED.
This part of your portfolio is the most important and counts 60% of your portfolio mark. You are
urged to plan and present as many lesson plans, as the school will allow you. For portfolio
purposes, you have to include at least five lesson plans that you developed yourself. Of course,
the mentor can guide and assist in the planning, but the final product needs to be your own.
Please make sure that you do the following for each of the five lessons:

 Fill in the lesson plan template with your planning
 Present the lesson
 Request the mentor to assess your presentation and to give you a mark and some
feedback
 Complete the reflection/own assessment template
 Get the lesson stamped with the official school stamp
 Attach all media, assessment tasks, etc. that you used as evidence. If it is too big, for
the portfolio photograph it or photocopy it and reduce the size.
There are five senior phase (grades 7 - 9) lesson plan templates that should be used in
planning; presentation and assessment of lessons. These templates follow on the next
pages.

4. LESSON OBSERVATIONS AND DIARY/RELECTIVE JOURNAL
Lesson observations
Complete at least one lesson observation sheet (on the following pages) for every day you are
at the school:
• 10 observation lessons of teachers in your subject area;

• The other 15 observations of experienced teachers in other subject areas.
Dairy/reflective journal
Write at least a paragraph per day regarding the activities you are involved in and what their
importance (or not) are in your learning to become a teacher.
At the end of the 25 days of practical teaching you must reflect on your notes and write a report
of 1000 words on the whole experience in terms of its contribution to your preparation as a
teacher. You may also make suggestions on what can be done to improve on the practical
teaching experience to make sure it is useful and meaningful.
Attach your reflective dairy and your report after this page as evidence.
Guideline for reflection
Describe meaningful activities, behaviours or documents you observed/noticed.

Ask yourself if they are useful, effective and/or represent good practice.
Describe how you can use them, adapt them or change them to improve your practice (or future
practice).
PLEASE NOTE: students who do not complete this section or who leave out part of it will be
marked negatively. Not only will you lose the allocated marks, but you will be penalized and
lose double that and will receive a negative mark.

ADDENDUM: GUIDELINES FOR LESSON PLANNING

There are numerous types o f lessons, each requiring unique planning, method of
presentation, aids and so on. Each lesson must be carefully planned so that, as a teacher,
you will be well prepared to present or facilitate the lesson. To assist you with this, we shall deal
briefly with a few aspects of lesson planning.
Selecting the topic/theme/key idea

In the CAPS the subject matter that teachers have to teach is clearly indicated, and all they
have to do is choose a section (a theme or topic) to be presented in a lesson or series of
lessons.
Students have to plan their lessons for 2018 according to the CAPS.
Lesson introduction
What you do here will depend largely on the type of lesson presented, the subject matter to be
covered, the learning activities planned for learners, and so on. Try to focus the
learners' attention on the theme by recall of existing knowledge, surprising them or doing
something unusual (or letting them do something unusual). Try to make them want to know
more or want to master a skill. This will launch the learners on a voyage of discovery, to which
they will look forward with anticipation.
The main part of the lesson / new knowledge/skills and values/learning opportunities
This should contain an indication of the type of lesson (or a combination of various types) that is
planned, and the activities of both teacher and learners should be clearly set out. The following
are a few of the types of lessons you could consider:
Question-and-answer lesson
This type of lesson features questions, which the learners are required to answer. Avoid this
where possible, unless you combine it with the screening of a video, slides/transparencies,
photos or similar aids on which the learners are questioned (or can ask questions) about what
they have seen or observed.
You could also make this type of lesson interesting by holding a quiz (preferably in teams to
avoid hurting the slow learners' pride). It is also a good way of doing revision.

Practical lesson
This type of lesson requires the learners to undertake some or other kind of practical activity.
Activities could take the form of
 an individual activity (facilitated by the teacher) such as telling a story or drawing a
picture
 a group activity (facilitated by the teacher) in which a group discusses a topic and
arrives at a group decision or makes a group presentation
 a class activity (facilitated by the teacher) in which, for instance, the whole class
works on a project together and produces a final product
 an activity involving both class and teacher (teacher participates) such as drawing
a map together or making a sand model
Of course, a combination of activities is also possible. This type of lesson demands thorough
preparation and planning by the teacher.
Role-playing
During this type of lesson the teacher assumes the role or character of someone else
and asks the learners to similarly play the parts of other characters. It could
involve simply giving a visual representation of events or it could take the form of a
dialogue, a debate, a narrative, et cetera. For example, someone (including the learners)
could dress up in period costume and play the part (parts) of a historical character like Vasco de
Gama - dialogue may be (prepared and) included.
Learner-centered presentation
In this type of lesson the focus is on learners who, as it were, provide the contents of the lesson.
All the teacher does is complement, guide and correct where necessary. (This may naturally
also be seen as a practical lesson.)
An example of this type of lesson is that in which learners prepare to "show and tell" by bringing
along something which is related to the theme. They then recite/tell/explain something about
the object.
PTEAC2Y/103
Debate
This type of lesson features two groups debating the merits of an issue (which could be an
issue that directly affects them). Of course, such a lesson requires thorough preparation
and the maintenance of discipline or control. It is particularly appropriate to a discussion of
values.
Outdoor lesson
The aim of an outdoor lesson is not simply to vary things for learners, but also to
illustrate/do something which would be difficult to accomplish inside a classroom. In the
grounds of a school there are always signs of erosion and climatological activity (such as
wind, clouds and precipitation).
Excursions/field work
Facts taught during a lesson or series of lessons are applied or observed in practice. Examples
would be visits to a natural phenomenon, a mine or an industry, or cleaning a polluted stream,
recording data and soon.
Narrative lesson
In this type of lesson the subject matter is conveyed by means of a narrative. While this could
be very boring (particularly to older learners), it could be made highly interesting with the use of
attractive teaching aids. Finger or hand puppets increase the interest in a narrative (especially
for young learners), but slides, photos, pictures et cetera can be equally useful (particularly for
older learners).
Discussion lesson
This type of lesson takes the form of a discussion of a theme/issue/problem by learners and
teacher. It works especially well with older learners when the discussion is about a matter
which affects their daily lives and about which they have something to say (the more
controversial the better since this elicits a greater variety of views and opinions). This calls
for very thorough preparation on the part of teachers if they are to guide the lesson
successfully.
89
We are deliberately not discussing every type of lesson here, in order to give you the
freedom to research and use other types on your own. For instance, you could consider
group work, panel discussions, case studies, experimentation, guided discovery and numerous
others.
Terminating/rounding off/ instilling the key idea, and assessment

At this point it is necessary to indicate how the teacher will determine whether successful
learning has taken place and whether the objectives/outcomes have been achieved.
There could be informal continuous assessment throughout the lesson: it need not wait until the
end. The strategies used should, however, be indicated.
Assessment tasks must include the following:

 Say who will assess and if it will be individual or group assessment.
 Describe assessment task e.g. test on …, worksheet about …, research task on ….,
experiment, etc.
 What instrument will be used to assess e.g. memorandum, rubric, checklist, etc.
 Indicators as to whether there has been successful learning could take the form of
demonstrations by learners, a final product such as the drawing of a map, a written
report, learning behaviour and conduct, learner participation (in things like group
activities), and so on.
Learning and teaching support material

Teachers should see to it that all teaching aids necessary for presenting the lesson or which
learners will need to complete their activities, are available, and that the apparatus to be used is
in working condition. Explain what the relevant teaching aid and how it will be used.
