Introduction
Teaching Practice (TP) 3 is a module that is assessed throughout the year. This
means that you don't write an exam but are instead assessed continuously
through various means during the module. This Teaching Practice 3 Assessment
Guide contains the details of each assessment you must undertake to pass this
module. We will refer to it simply as your assessment guide from now on. Please
note that you may not register and proceed with this module if you have not met
the pre-requisite for the module – you must have passed TP200.

The assignments in this assessment guide are designed to demonstrate your


understanding of the content covered in the Teaching Practice 3 Study Guide.
There are six (6) assignments for you to complete during your year of study.

The assessment guide is divided into Section A which consists of assignments


linked to the content you will cover in your study guide. Section B is the evidence
of School-based Teaching and focuses on the electronic Portfolio of Evidence
(Hereon known as e-PoE). The e-PoE section of this assessment guide consists of
the required documents to be used during school-based teaching practice. You
will be required to upload to your electronic Portfolio of Evidence to a link on the
TP300 module page.

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.

At the end of your six-week block of school-based teaching practice in a


functional school, you must upload your TP300 Portfolio of Evidence to the link
provided for marking and moderation. This TP300 e-PoE consists of several
requirements that you need to complete during your teaching practice. These
requirements are outlined in Lesson 1 of the Study Guide. You will find the
necessary documents for the TP300 file in this assessment guide.

Assessment Guide © STADIO School of Education TP300-22-AG (Jul) Page 1


You will have to include the following in this TP300 e-PoE:

 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.

This module is assessed based on a cumulative year-long assessment process.


Marks will be calculated according to the ratio specified in the table above. The
pass mark for his module is 50%. Should you miss any of your online tests, you
must download the Application for a Re-test form from the Assessment Office
page on the TP300 module page and submit it to the email address provided on
the form.

Electronic Portfolio of Evidence (e-Poe)


Your portfolio of evidence for STADIO is an electronic portfolio. 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. Your e-PoE will have five (5)
sections and the documents that are required for each will be discussed later in
this assessment guide.

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.

Page 2 TP300-22-AG (Jul) Assessment Guide © STADIO School of Education


We now give you brief details on each of the above lessons that you must plan
and present.

Life Skills lesson

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.

Home Language lesson

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.

First Additional Language lesson

You must plan and present a First Additional language lesson. Your mentor will
assess your lesson plan and presentation.

Life Skills, Home Language or Mathematics lesson

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.

Submitting your Assignments


When preparing your assignments for submission, be sure to:

 save your details, including your student number, full name, and the module
TP300 in the file name of the documents e.g., "19001-JimmyHendrix-TP300-
Assignment01.docx";
 Include your full name, student number and the module TP300 "TP300" on
the front page of your assignments;
 ensure the files are under 32 MB, as this is the upload maximum file size for
file submissions;
 upload your assignments in PDF format;
 ensure that all links are presented as hyperlinks which are accessible
through a PDF;
 check for grammatical and spelling errors;
 use size 12pt, black, Arial font, 1.5 line spacing, and margins of 2 cm;
 reference correctly, according to the STADIO Referencing Guide, 2022.
Durban: STADIO (PTY) LTD which you can find on the module page; and
 include credible references (like those from books and peer-reviewed
journals);
 include credible references (like those from books and peer-reviewed
journals);
 number your pages;
 submit your assignments to the correct Turnitin assignment submission
activity within the TP300 module page – this will ensure that your
assignment documents are submitted both to STADIO School of Education
and to Turnitin, where an originality check will be performed, and a similarity
report generated; and
 No emailed assignments to the lecturer's email address will be accepted.

Generating a Turnitin report

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

Page 6 TP300-22-AG (Jul) Assessment Guide © STADIO School of Education


access the Plagiarism Policy on the Learning Management System (LMS) to find
out what percentage of similarity is permissible for this module.

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.

1. Note: It is your responsibility to upload and submit a correct assessment to


the correct assessment submission portal and submit a document that opens
properly. You will not be contacted by a lecturer to inform you that you
submitted the wrong document or that the document submitted cannot be
accessed. Should you submit an incorrect assessment or should your
assessment not be accessible to the marker, you will receive a result of zero
(0%) for the assessment.

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.

module page.
 Video link is to be uploaded on the TP300 module page. Please check the
TP300 module page for due dates.
 NB: It is imperative that your video link opens and plays as you will not be
contacted by the lecturer and asked to resubmit a working link. Please send
the link to a peer / family member etc. to view and ascertain whether the
link works as it should.

Reflective practice is an essential part of teaching effectively. This self-


assessment video of your collage will give you the opportunity to reflect on your
experience in a LSEN school or Special Education center by talking about your
past and present experiences.

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

Page 24 TP300-22-AG (Jul) Assessment Guide © STADIO School of Education


experience. Your collage should be a representation of past and present
experiences and hopefully some future insight.

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.

Your collage presentation should be approximately 3 to 5 minutes only. Once you


exceed 5 minutes the lecturer will stop viewing the recording of the presentation
and this will impact on your assessment.

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).

Attendance Register
There is an attendance register for this module called the Teaching Practice
Register on the next page of this Assessment Guide that you must have signed
by the mentor teacher (or school secretary) every day. It is your responsibility to
ensure this register is completed correctly. It is also your responsibility to ensure
your register is stamped with the school's stamp at the end of your block
teaching practice session before you give it to the School Principal. It is
recommended that the school should email the completed and verified
attendance registers at the end of the block session.

Registers must be returned to dltp3@stadio.ac.za. Please include your and


student as well as DLTP300 in the subject line.

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.

Section C: Mentor Assessment Panel
(MAP)
The STADIO Mentor Assessor Panel (MAP) will formally assess and moderate
your performance during Teaching Practice. In addition to your five (5) formal
lessons, your sixth formal lesson should be a MAP Assessment. With the support
of your mentor, you are required to compile assessment evidence of lessons as
set out below and upload the evidence onto your electronic portfolio created on
the TP300 module page. You must make the necessary arrangements with your
mentor teacher to ensure that this process is organised.

Lesson 1 for MAP Assessment and Moderation


The assessment evidence for this lesson must be uploaded onto your electronic
portfolio on the LMS at the end of Week Two of your teaching practice. The
STADIO MAP will give you and the mentor teacher feedback within one week of
submission.

The lesson assessment evidence to be uploaded into the student's electronic


portfolio on the LMS must include the following:

 audio-recording of the lesson presentation;


 detailed lesson plan and resources (or photographs of resources);
 student's reflection on lesson taught (included in the lesson plan);
 lesson assessment form (PRAC303) with final mark allocation and
comments; and
 audio- or video recording of the Post-Lesson Observation Conference (PLOC)
between you and the mentor teacher.

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

school secretary. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure this
