Section C provides details about the Mentor Assessment Panel (MAP) and the
evidence you need to collect for MAP. Lastly, Section D, presents the final school-
based assessment.
This assessment guide contains all the information you need about your
assessments for this module. Read through it in its entirety very carefully so that
you have a clear understanding of exactly when and how you will be assessed
from the beginning of the module. In this guide you will also find guidelines on
submission of your electronic Portfolio of Evidence (e-Poe) which will be
submitted via the TP300 module page.
The hard copies of these documents will need to be kept in lever arch file that
your mentor teacher may require to see as you progress through your teaching
practice.
For STADIO School of Education (hereon will called STADIO), you only need to
upload an electronic Portfolio of Evidence.
the six (6) formal lessons that you planned and presented to your mentor
teacher; and
the ten (10) informal lessons that you planned and presented to your class.
You need to upload the completed lesson plans and relevant resources (or
photographs) to your e-PoE in the appropriate folders that have be set up for
you.
You will find a copy of the formal lesson plan template as well as a copy of the
Language / Life Skills lesson plan (PRAC301a) and Mathematics lesson plan
(PRAC301b) template for the additional ten (10) informal lesson plans that you
have to teach further on in this assessment guide and on the TP300 module
page. You can print or make your own photocopies of these.
Take note that during your block teaching practice session you are expected to
plan and present at least sixteen (16) lessons to your class. Six (6) of these
sixteen (16) lessons will be formally assessed by your mentor teacher.
Furthermore, all these lesson plans must be included and uploaded as part of
your e-PoE. You must achieve a minimum average mark of 50% from your
mentor teacher for the six (6) lessons that are assessed. You must also achieve a
minimum average mark of 50% from the STADIO MAP assessment for the lesson
plans that are assessed.
The six (6) lessons that you present to the class to be formally assessed by your
mentor teacher are:
two (2) Life Skills lessons (1 × Beginning Knowledge and 1 × Personal and
Social Well-being);
one (1) Home Language lesson;
one (1) Mathematic lesson;
one (1) First Additional Language lesson; and
one (1) additional lesson on any of the above-mentioned subjects.
Remember you will submit either a Life skill or Mathematics lesson as a MAP
assessment.
During your teaching practice period you must plan and present two (2) lessons
from the Like Skills subject. You must prepare a lesson that is primarily focused
on Beginning Knowledge content (i.e. topics pertaining to Social Science, Natural
Science and Technology) and a lesson that focuses only on Personal and Social
Well Being content (e.g. caring for the environment, pets, our heritage etc.).
Your mentor will assess your lesson plan and presentation.
You must plan and present a Home Language lesson. Your mentor will assess
your lesson plan and presentation.
Mathematics lesson
You must plan and present a Mathematics lesson. Your mentor will assess your
lesson plan and presentation.
You must plan and present a First Additional language lesson. Your mentor will
assess your lesson plan and presentation.
Finally, you can choose the subject focus of your sixth lesson for this
assessment. In other words, you can select a topic from Life Skills (though only
from the content areas of Beginning Knowledge or Personal and Social Well-
being), Home Language, First Additional Language or Mathematics. Once again,
your mentor will assess your lesson plan and presentation.

No emailed assignments to the lecturer's email address will be accepted.
Please note that part of the process of submitting your assignments online is
putting your assignments through Turnitin which is a service that checks your
document for issues like plagiarism and other referencing issues. Turnitin will
produce a report for each document you've submitted within 24 hours which will
show if your assignments were copied (even in part) from somewhere or
someone else (even yourself). If the Turnitin report shows that your work is too
similar to another submission or to other sources, you'll have to redo your
assignments and submit it to Turnitin once again before STADIO School of
Education will accept it to be marked. STADIO School of Education will not mark
any assignments with a Turnitin score that exceeds the maximum allowed
percentage stated in the Plagiarism Policy. The percentage of similarity that is
allowed per module depends on your programme and year of study. You can
To allow yourself time to review the Turnitin report and rework your assignment
where required, we suggest that you submit your assignment at least two weeks
before the official hand-in date. Your submissions will be made via the
assignment submission activity on the LMS. STADIO School of Education will use
the assignments and the Turnitin reports on the official hand-in date as your final
assignment for marking.
Please also note that during the process of submitting your assignments to
Turnitin you will be asked to tick a box that indicates that the work you are
handing in is your own original work. Ticking that box is your declaration that
your assignments are your own original work. Note that you're not permitted to
submit the same assignments as those you have previously submitted for any
other module.
2. Note: If you are repeating the module, you are not permitted (allowed) to
submit an assessment from the previous academic year. Every assessment
you submit must be original and not previously submitted for any other
module or assessment. Should you submit an assessment that has been
found to have been submitted previously, you will receive a result of zero
(0%) for the assessment.

To begin your collage, you need to reflect and think about your initial concerns
and anxieties about attending an LSEN school. If you did not have concerns or
anxieties, you must reflect on what you were looking forward to by attending an
LSEN school. Remember your collage consists of many pictures and a few words.
So, be sure to find images that will represent your initial feelings / emotions.
You will need to think carefully about each image you select because each image
must represent something that is linked to your reflection. You will begin creating
the collage before you start your Special Education Experience in schools as this
will become the 'past' of your experiences during your presentation.
During your experience at an LSEN school or special education centre take note
and become aware of your feelings, things that challenge you, moments that
move you or have a great impact on you. It is in these moments that, when you
reflect, you can think about why you felt the way you did and what you learned
through these experiences.
During your Special Education Experience, you should add images to your collage
daily and continue to construct your collage. NB: You are not permitted to
include images of the learners' faces in your collage. When your Special
Education Experience is over, you are required to complete your collage and
reflect on all that you encountered by choosing images that represent this
The task does not end there. Now you are required to do a video recording of
yourself presenting this collage. You need to show the images of your collage
and record yourself as you speak about the collage sharing each detail, each
image and reasoning behind your collage design (Note, you may require a friend
or family member to assist you with the recording.) The presentation of your
collage will become a reflective journey where you take the audience through
your Special Education Experience. Lastly, give your collage a title that is
reflective of your experience.
Please view the collage presentation rubric below for the collage assignment
requirements.
In preparation for this process, please ensure that you read the prescribed
reading entitled 'Developing Professionalism through Reflective Practice among
Pre-Service Teachers at the National University of Lesotho.' (Tlali, T. 2018).

Assessment Strategy
Your final assessment mark for this module is weighted as shown in the table
below. Your due dates will be posted on the TP300 module page.
You need a final mark of 50% to pass this module. You must submit all three
assessments. You may not register for the following year of TP if you have not
completed the required time in school and passed the module with 50%.
Section B consists of the requirements for your actual teaching and observations
of your mentor teachers and the school during your block session of Teaching
Practice.
You will submit your e-PoE electronically this year, but you are still required to
prepare a physical copy that you will take to school to use for your mentor
teacher to peruse.
It is advisable that as you proceed with your teaching practice, you use a
computer to type your lesson plans and you can insert images of resources or
Word documents of worksheets that you have used in your lesson. Submission of
your e-PoE will be done on the TP300 module page using a template that have
been created for you.
Formal lesson assessment forms are to be placed at the beginning of your lesson plan
and resources for that lesson.
NOTE
Remember you are required to complete six (6) formal lessons with
assessments by your mentor teacher and ten (10) informal lessons during your
6-week block teaching practice session. You are also required to submit your
assessment for the Mentor Assessment Panel (MAP) at the end of your second
week of your block teaching practice period. You will submit the assessment
evidence of MAP on the TP300 module page, please check the module page
for assignment due dates. Your tutor will provide you with feedback. Details of
the MAP lessons and the process are included later in this assessment guide.
You will need to submit all the documents and lesson plans of your e-PoE
document on the TP300 module page, please check the due dates.
As you read the instructions and guidelines for your PoE, you will come to
understand that your e-PoE is a working document that you will be using to
complete your teaching practice. You must not leave tasks and submissions for
the last minute. You must plan accordingly, so that you can complete all your
required tasks.
You will be notified of due dates via email announcements as well as the due
dates being posted on the TP300 module page. You need to be alert and
responsible for your submission dates. Your e-PoE will be regarded as an
assignment. Plan to submit your e-PoE in timeously.
The pages that follow are the templates of the documents you require for your
PoE. Note that these are all available electronically on the TP300 module page as
well.

Please note that you must contact your school if you are going to
be absent or late on any day. Furthermore, you must give the
School Principal or mentor teacher a medical certificate if you are
absent for more than two consecutive days. The medical
certificate must then be attached to the attendance register that
you give to the school principal at the end of your teaching
practice period. Attendance is compulsory, and absenteeism of
10% or above will result in you failing this module.
During your Special Education Experience there is separate register that you
need to complete. If you do not attend an LSEN school and attend a special
education centre that focuses on children with special needs instead, you will
need to ensure that you indicate the numbers of hours spent at this place. You
need to spend 30 hours in a special education centre. Please include the time in
the special education experience register so we can verify that you have met the
requirements.

The PLOC refers to the reflection and feedback session between you and the
mentor teacher after your formal lesson presentation. Guidelines for this PLOC
have been given to the mentor teacher in the Mentor Teacher's Guide. The
reflection and feedback during the PLOC should include your achievements, your
challenges, as well as future plans, for the MAP to be able to evaluate the
comments and then award the final mark for the lesson plan and presentation.
The above evidence, such as your detailed lesson plan and resources and the
Final Student Assessment form should also be included in your e-POE for
submission to STADIO for marking. The main purpose of this task is for the
STADIO MAP to provide you with constructive written feedback on lesson plan
design in relation to your lesson presentation. The audio recording of the lesson
presentation will also assist the MAP to analyse and comment on your
communication skills and teaching style. The audio recording with supporting
documentation of the PLOC between the mentor teacher and you, the student-
teacher, will assist the MAP to verify the assessments of individual lessons by
your mentor teacher. The STADIO MAP will provide feedback to both you and the
mentor teacher. The panel will provide constructive feedback on the mentor
teacher's assessments and mentoring skills with specific focus on the lesson
observation process during teaching practice. The panel will provide you with
Read the relevant rubric in this assessment guide for this final school-based
assessment to familiarise yourself with the assessment criteria before you start
your teaching practice.
NOTE
Please note that you MUST contact your school if you are going to be late or
absent. On returning to school, you need to present a medical certificate or
formal doctor's note if you are absent for more than two (2) consecutive days.
The medical certificate or note must be attached to the attendance register which
you give to the principal at the end of your teaching practice. Keep in mind that
dentist appointments, going for your driver's license must all be done after
school. Absenteeism of 10% or above will result in you failing this module.
Remember that the completed, signed, and stamped attendance must be
emailed from a school email address. Registers will only be accepted if they have
the school stamp and are sent from a school email address. Alternatively, you
may courier the originals to the Teaching Practice Department, the details of
which can be found above.
This form is to be used to plan your lesson presentations that you are required to
present whilst at your school. It will enable you to plan so that you do not run
out of time, and it will help your mentor teacher to see the broad overview and
the lessons / number of lessons you are required to present. Once you have
discussed this with your mentor teacher, fill it in together and make a copy for
him or her as a reminder of your TP300 requirements. (This is a compulsory
document and needs to be signed and stamped by the school. This form must be
included in your file.) Please use it as a guide to assist you with your lessons.
